“He said, ‘I think you’re incompetent.’ And I said, ‘I know you’re incompetent,'” the congresswoman from Ohio says of her conversation with the president The post Rep. Joyce Beatty Details Trump’s ‘Tantrum’ Over Her Legal Victory in Ongoing Kennedy Center Battle appeared first on TheWrap .
Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Oh.) recounted the "tantrum" Donald Trump experienced following his recent legal defeat in their ongoing dispute over the Kennedy Center. The Ohio congresswoman appeared on MSNBC's "The Weeknight" Tuesday evening, shortly after a federal judge halted the Trump-appointed Kennedy Center board's latest move to add the president's name to the institution.
Beatty, who sought emergency relief to avert the shutdown and name addition prior to a special board meeting, recounted how the board meeting commenced with Trump informing them of their recent defeat in the Beatty v. Trump case. Trump's reaction, Beatty stated, was "the most unprofessional thing that I've ever witnessed or been a part of."
He resorted to calling her names like "obstructionist" and "dumb," and even accused her of being "incompetent." Beatty responded by pointing out his own incompetence and highlighting his past bankruptcies. Trump allegedly threatened to hold her accountable if something fell from the ceiling and harmed someone, to which Beatty retorted that the president was already causing harm through his actions.
Trump also claimed that Beatty had no understanding of her own legacy, to which Beatty reminded him that he had more bankruptcies than anyone else in the room.
