More members of the Kennedy family are speaking out after President Donald Trump added his name to the Kennedy Center this week.

Following a controversial vote by a MAGA-friendly board, workers officially added Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center’s exterior on Friday, Dec. 19. They tacked on “The Donald Trump and” above the previously-existing lettering, which reads, “The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.”

Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy and JFK’s niece, took to X after photos of the new addition went public.

“Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder,” she wrote. “Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!”

Her cousin, Maria Shriver, also weighed in on the addition in a new post.

“Adding your name to a memorial already named in honor of a great man doesn’t make you a great man. Quite the contrary,” Shriver wrote. “Putting your name on top of someone else’s doesn’t mean that people will speak of you in the same breath as the other man. Putting your name above another man’s name on his existing memorial… What is that about? Truly? What’s that about? Do you want people to speak the names as one? Dig down deep. What are you trying to say? I’m really interested.”

“There is no other president who would do this. None. Zero. In fact, it’s not even legal. Congress named the performing arts center as a living memorial in 1964, and only Congress can change that law. This will always be the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Art. A great man would have said to his hand picked board, ‘Thank you, but the building already has its name. Let it stand. Let it be. I don’t need that.’ But then again…”

Shriver’s post echoed previous statements from the Kennedys, which have challenged the legality of adding Trump’s name to the building, which operates as a living memorial to JFK.

Earlier this year, JFK’s grandson Jack Schlossberg contested a bill introduced by Republican congressman Bob Onder, which proposed to rename the building entirely to the “Donald J. Trump Center for Performing Arts.” It never became law.

Schlossberg, 32, shared a screenshot of Public Law 88-260, which declares that, as of Dec. 2, 1983, “no additional memorials or plaques in the nature of memorials shall be designated or installed in the public areas of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.”

“Plain reading of the statute makes clear — YOU CAN’T DO THAT,” he wrote in the caption of his post.

Schlossberg also boosted claims made by Ohio Rep. Joyce Beatty, who serves as an ex-officio member of the Kennedy Center board.

Despite claims by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt that the board of the historic venue had “voted unanimously” to rename the building to the “Trump-Kennedy Center,” Beatty alleged on X that she and other opponents were muted on the conference call where the vote took place and were not allowed to voice their differing opinions.

“For the record. This was not unanimous. I was muted on the call and not allowed to speak or voice my opposition to this move,” Beatty, 75, wrote. “Also for the record, this was not on the agenda. This was not consensus. This is censorship.”

She continued, “Clearly the Congress has a say in this. This center, the Kennedy Center, was created by the Congress. I think it’s important for us to know that this is just another attempt to evade the law and not let the people have a say.”
