The President's Committee on Arts and Humanities announced that it was disbanding Friday following President Donald Trump's statements on violence during a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville Saturday.
Writer Jhumpa Lahiri, "Jersey Boys" actor John Lloyd Young, lawyer Vicki Kennedy, and actor Kal Penn, among others, signed a letter calling out Trump's "hateful rhetoric" and "support of the hate groups and terrorists" that came out to protest in Charlottesville on August 12.
The letter, which was signed by all 16 of the committee's members, says that they will be resigning from their position in the White House and called on Trump to do the same.
......
To drive home the point, the members spelled out the word "resist" with the first letter of the six paragraphs that make up the memo.
