The latest edition of “CNN Saturday Morning Table for Five” featured an intense discussion about President Donald Trump’s name being added to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, after one of the panelists defended the move and invoked 2020′s racial justice protests in doing so.

“This is incredibly disrespectful to JFK,” said comic Paul Mecurio. “He was a commander in chief, he served, he lost his life serving our country. This would be no different than if we decided to start changing names on the Vietnam memorial. People would be up in arms.”

This led to The Federalist’s election correspondent, Brianna Lyman, to argue that the criticism from Democrats is “disingenuous” — even though it was Trump himself who chose the board members who voted for the “Trump-Kennedy Center” name change.

“I personally don’t care that much,” Lyman said. “But I do find it funny, Paul, that you care and that the Kennedys care, because no one in your party cared in 2020 when you guys were changing names of hospitals, parks, schools, streets, everything in the name of George Floyd.”

Mecurio interrupted to note he isn’t even a Democrat, but Lyman barreled on.

“I think it’s really disingenuous for the Kennedys and for anyone to sit here and pretend like they care so much about the Kennedy Center, because I don’t know how many of you guys have been to the Kennedy Center prior to Donald Trump taking office,” she said.

Lyman urged the panel not to “pretend” that they care about Trump taking charge, prompting broadcaster and fellow panelist Cari Champion to jump in.

“Well, first thing, you refer to 2020 in the name of George Floyd,” she told Lyman, saying that the nationwide protests in question weren’t just about Floyd and his death at the hands of Minneapolis police, but about police brutality in general, which has historically affected Black Americans more than others.

Lyman interrupted to reiterate that the protests “were about” Floyd, but this time it was Champion who kept rolling.

“Please let me finish because I let you finish,” said Champion, the lone Black panelist on the show. “They had a racial reckoning and they understood that this country had done some things that were very unfair, especially to marginalized, especially to Black people.”

When Champion noted that many statues removed in 2020 had commemorated former slave owners as heroes, Lyman once again interrupted to note that former Presidents Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were among those apparent heroes.

Champion then explained that many statues were removed to honor those “who could not speak for themselves.” Lyman countered that Champion is “speaking freely about people like Jefferson” right now — and then thanked Jefferson for the First Amendment. Champion returned the discussion to what’s being done now.

“The reality is that they may have overcorrected, but right now they’re overcorrecting in another way,” she said. “The fact that Trump is putting his name on every single thing and you want to normalize it like it’s normal tells me you’re the problem and not the solution.”

She then reiterated that Trump has once again “disrespected” the presidency, invoking Kennedy’s niece Maria Shriver to state “this isn’t funny anymore” — and argued that America will land in an irrevocable “state of disrepair” if Trump keeps it up.
