Wow, the political violence that the Democrats have consistently called for just won’t stop. Now, in this latest incident, we don’t explicitly know that’s a political act, but the fact that it was the Trump-Kennedy Center that was the subject of a "calculated, malicious attack" would certainly make you acutely aware of that possibility.
Vandals chose it as their target Friday, hitting the outdoor ice rink, severely damaging it, and causing at least one performance to be cancelled:
The Trump-Kennedy Center was the target of what officials described as a "calculated, malicious attack" early Friday after a "toxic chemical" was poured onto its outdoor ice rink, forcing a performance cancellation.
Trump-Kennedy Center leadership said a dark substance was poured onto the ice surface, severely damaging the outdoor arena.
Leadership said the incident was not a protest but an act of outright vandalism targeting the Trump-Kennedy Center.
Interim President/Executive Director of the Kennedy Center Ric Grenell, who also serves as Presidential Envoy for Special Missions, was disgusted:
This is so sad & unnecessary - @TheDemocrats have been calling artists urging them to cancel and attacking the Center non-stop.

It’s a calculated campaign.
And now they have mentally unstable people taking action - and vandalizing the Center.
We’ve seen serious death…
We’ve seen serious death threats and constant harassment. Commonsense Democrats must speak up before this violence takes a life.
A spokesperson for the center said they’re working hard to get the venue safe and ready for the next show:
"Today, a targeted attack on the Trump Kennedy Center vandalized and destroyed our outdoor arena, causing severe damage that we unfortunately must cancel tonight’s performance, but we are working feverishly to complete repairs so programming can resume tomorrow," Roma Daravi, vice president of public relations for the Trump-Kennedy Center, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "We have turned over video footage to the authorities who are investigating this calculated, malicious attack and hold those responsible accountable."
The Friday night performance of Murmuration by the Montreal-based skating company Le Patin Libre had to be shut down. I thought leftists liked art?

“EXCLUSIVE: ‘Targeted attack’ vandalizes Trump-Kennedy Center outdoor ice rink, forces performance cancellation.”https://t.co/ENHrqMguzT https://t.co/iH13wRz1Ye
Authorities don’t have a suspect or a motive in the attack, and the White House has yet to weigh in on the matter. We do know this, though: Democrats’ heads have been exploding because the board decided to add Trump’s name to the venerable institution, and several woke artists and acts have cancelled their performances as a result. Shameful behavior by supposed professionals.
