General Discussion

As workers were adding Trump’s name to the building on Friday, Matt Floca, vice president for Facilities and Operations at the Kennedy Center, told this reporter — who was standing outside of the construction cone-delineated area and was wearing a congressional press pass — to stop taking photographs from the one side of the effort.

After walking through the mostly empty building, Law Dork found Floca outside, as workers continued in their task.

“Matt, is this the first time that you’ve defaced a public building?“

“Are you recording me?”

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m a reporter.”

“If you turn this off, we can have a conversation.”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t want to be recorded right now. I’m doing my job, and you’re out here bothering me. So, just give me a second and we can talk, if you’d like.”
