One of the co-hosts of ABC’s ‘The View” recently told singer Gloria Gaynor to reject the Kennedy Center honor that President Donald Trump has bestowed on her.
The co-host – Ana Navarro – did so in a social media post that can be found here.
It appears, however, that Gaynor is not listening to what Navarro has to say.

“Don’t do it”
In her social media post, Navarro argued that Gaynor ought to reject the award.
She began:
A few years ago, I got to briefly meet @gloriagaynor at a concert in Miami. She gifted me a keychain that belted out “I Will Survive”, when you pressed it. Let’s just say, during first Trump term, I pressed it til it ran out of batteries. Yesterday, Trump announced he picked her to receive a Kennedy Center Honor, which he plans to host.
Other honorees include actor Sylvester Stallone, singer George Strait, the band Kiss, and others.
Navarro continued:
Look, the woman is a goddess and deserves all the flowers that come her way. But I wish she wouldn’t accept an award from the hands of a man who has attacked the rights and history of women, people of color and LGBTQ. The gay community in particular, helped turn her signature song into an anthem. Trump is a stain on the prestige and significance of the KCH. Don’t do it, Gloria!
“I am beyond blessed”
Gaynor has made it clear that she intends to accept the honor. But she had not responded directly to Navarro’s statement.
Gaynor recently said:
I am beyond blessed and honored to be receiving this award. My hope is that in accepting this honor, I can continue with the inspirational phenomenon that began with ‘I Will Survive.'”
She added, “Sharing my music and art on a global level to provide encouragement, hope, empowerment, inspiration, understanding, and unity is the core of my purpose.”
In related news…
Other reporting indicates that Trump also invited actor Tom Cruise to the Kennedy Center honors. It turns out, however, that Cruise will not be in attendance.
Breitbart News reports:
Multiple Kennedy Center employees told Washington Post that the Mission: Impossible star declined the opportunity to receive a prestigious Honors award due to “scheduling conflicts.”
The event is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, and it is expected that President Trump will host it.
