Donald Trump attended a performance of Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday, marking his first visit to the Washington, D.C. venue since overhauling its board, installing himself as chair, and canceling several concerts he deemed “too woke.” He was met with protests from drag queens and a shower of boos from the audience. Meanwhile, half of the Les Misérables cast — which Trump had previously declared his favorite musical — boycotted the performance.

Trump just got BOOED after arriving at the Kennedy Center for a performance of Les Misérables. There were some cheers, which is expected because he and his buddies have taken over the Kennedy Center and installed their own. pic.twitter.com/B2C80P2J4V
