Donald Trump’s Government has suffered yet another blow, as the entire members of his Committee on the Arts and Humanities tendered an open letter of resignation, using the president’s favourite public space: Twitter.
The group said their resignation came as result of the United States President’s “support of hate groups and terrorists who killed and injured fellow Americans in Charlottesville,” and his failure to support the arts in America. “The false equivalencies you push cannot stand’.
The letter reads;
“The Administration’s refusal to quickly and unequivocally condemn the cancer of hatred only further emboldens those who wish America ill. We cannot sit idly by, the way your West Wing advisors have, without speaking out against your words and actions.”
Upon Trump’s inauguration as the United States President, it was thought that PCAH which was formed by President Ronald Reagan and under President Barack Obama, who appointed all the current members will be dismissed, however a Trump representative asked them to stay on at least for now.
The Washington Post reports the unpaid members of the group, have worked hard on programmes for schools, public events, and even outreach to Cuba.
