Joyce Beatty revealed the absurd personal threats she faced from President Donald Trump during his Kennedy Center meltdown.

Beatty, 76, told MS NOW’s The Weeknight that Trump, 80, “threw a tantrum” during a call with the Kennedy Center’s board on Tuesday after a federal judge ruled that he couldn’t plaster his name on the historic performing arts center.

“It was the most unprofessional thing that I’ve ever witnessed or been a part of,” the Democratic congresswoman, an ex officio board member, told the panel.

“He went into name-calling—everything from trying to say that I was an obstructionist, I was dumb.

He said, ‘I think you’re incompetent.’ And I said, ‘I know you’re incompetent.’” “But I was not going to let him call me awful things,” she continued.

“He said he was going to hold me responsible if something fell out of the ceiling and killed someone.

And I told him, I said, ‘You’re already killing people.

We’re at war.’” Beatty described how the president bragged about how great he was at developing and claimed she had “never done anything.” The congresswoman said she reminded him that he had “more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.” “It really went there,” she recounted.

“I was not going to let him bully me, intimidate me.” The Ohio congresswoman said the board had moved forward with a decision to close the Kennedy Center, but not immediately, as Trump had claimed on social media.

The $17 million he claimed to have poured into the Kennedy Center was also not mentioned.

“Last time I checked, it was the taxpayers’ money that we voted on out of our congressional budget,” she said.

“So, he didn’t win.

He didn’t get his vanity project.
