Linda Ronstadt, Sally Field and the disco-funk band Earth Wind and Fire awaited their turn in the spotlight Sunday night as part of the latest group of recipients of the Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime achievements in the arts.
According to Sam Greisman, a movie writer and the youngest son of Sally Field, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was having a major sad at the State Department dinner for Kennedy Center honorees.
The White House said Friday that neither Donald Trump nor Melania Trump would attend because they planned to host a Christmas party for members of the Secret Service and their families. Mike Pompeo attended instead and at one point asked asked aloud when he would be “loved”. That’s when Linda Ronstadt replied to his question and she pulled no punches.
At the State Dept. dinner for the Kennedy Center honorees Mike Pompeo wondered aloud when he would be “loved”. Then Linda Ronstadt got up to get laurels, looked the fucker right in the eye and said “maybe when you stop enabling Donald Trump”. Icon.
