'Don't Watch': Fury As Trump Hosts Kennedy Center Honors, CBS Viewers Call For 'Boycott'

Outrage exploded as Donald Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to host the Kennedy Center Honors, triggering widespread calls for a viewer boycott of the CBS broadcast. Long viewed as a nonpartisan celebration of American artistic excellence, the ceremony was thrust into political controversy after Trump’s administration overhauled Kennedy Center leadership and placed the president at the center of the event. While legendary artists like Sylvester Stallone, George Strait, KISS, Gloria Gaynor, and Michael Crawford were honored, many viewers said they refused to tune in on principle.
