CBS edited the monologue of
Donald Trump during the 48th Annual
Kennedy Center Honors broadcast following a legal battle over the recent renaming of the landmark.
Trump attacked television host
Stephen Colbert and praised honorees like
George Strait and
Sylvester Stallone while jokingly suggesting the center be renamed in his honor. The event occurred amid a lawsuit from Representative
Joyce Beatty and boycotts by artists including
Lin-Manuel Miranda who protested the board's decision to add
Trump's name to the building facade.
