The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts told musicians it will stop paying them Saturday, less than a day after the organization received a divisive $25 million arts bailout.

The National Symphony Orchestra will stop receiving paychecks on April 3.

More money wasted by the Democrats.

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts informed members of the National Symphony Orchestra that they would no longer be paid just hours after President Trump signed a $25 million taxpayer bailout for the cultural center, according to an email obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Nearly 100 musicians will no longer receive paychecks after April 3, according to an email from the orchestra’s Covid-19 Advisory Committee.

“The Covid-19 Advisory Committee was broadsided today during our conversation with [Kennedy Center President] Deborah Rutter,” the email says. “Ms. Rutter abruptly informed us today that the last paycheck for all musicians and librarians will be April 3 and that we will not be paid again until the Center reopens.” More

They’re getting a huge bailout and are dumping the people anyway.

Who didn’t see that one coming 😳

@kencen takes taxpayer funds targeted to compensate employees during shutdown, cashes check, immediately fires musicians and employees. 🤦‍♀️ Can’t make this stuff up, folks.

Absolutely incredible! Who is lining their pockets with the $25 million we taxpayers are forking over. Stunning!

I just hope these emergency bills held hostage by both sides in Congress to get their pork in, opens more people’s eyes so we can put a stop to this. The few in congress who want this to stop need our support.

I think Trump needs to invoke the Defense Production Act and turn the Kennedy Center building into a temporary Hospital and pay the orchestra as stay at home consultants until the committee treats their “workers” better than they do their luxurious real estate holdings
