"The Kennedy Center 's outdoor ice rink was the target of what officials described as a "calculated, malicious attack." The alleged incident took place early Friday morning (February 20th) when a "toxic chemical" was found poured across the Kennedy Center's outdoor ice rink (via Fox News). The black-brown chemical, which has not yet been identified, damaged parts of the ice and the rink's structure."
"Meanwhile, in a social media post Kennedy Center interim president Richard Grenell blamed the incident on "Democrats," writing: "This is so sad & unnecessary - @TheDemocrats have been calling artists urging them to cancel and attacking the Center non-stop. It's a calculated campaign. And now they have mentally unstable people taking action - and vandalizing the Center. We've seen serious death threats and constant harassment. Commonsense Democrats must speak up before this violence takes a life.""
The Kennedy Center's outdoor ice rink was targeted when a toxic chemical was poured across its surface, leaving black-brown residue and structural harm. The chemical has not yet been identified. The damage forced cancellation of a scheduled performance by Montreal-based Le Patin Libre. Kennedy Center staff worked to complete repairs and turned over video footage to authorities seeking to hold those responsible accountable. Officials described the event as a calculated, malicious act of vandalism rather than a protest. Interim president Richard Grenell publicly blamed Democrats and cited death threats and harassment amid broader controversy over recent leadership changes and a planned two-year closure.
