Most recently, Grenell marked the holy season of Advent by defending Deputy Secretary of State Sarah Rogers during her meeting with AfD representative Markus Frohnmayer, a member of the German parliament who, according to report for 2019 V MirrorLeaked Russian documents indicated that he was under the “total control” of the Russian Federation. In response to a message dated December 13 mail journalist Michael D. Weiss, noting Frohnmayer's unpleasant associations, the next day Rogers took to the platform formerly known as Twitter to demand her meeting was justified because the AfD opposes censorship. Grenell then rushed towards tweet that former President Joe Biden never spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin, so Rogers' (alleged) meeting with a reported Russian agent in the NATO country's legislature was actually good news.
And that, in a nutshell, sums up the public career of the man who saw to it that Trump's hand-picked board of directors added his name to that of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts on Dec. 19. Five days later, Chuck Redd decided to cancel his Christmas concert. Associated Press reported.
Meanwhile, on December 23, the Kennedy Center Honors program, in which the president played host, aired on CBS with its lowest ratings ever –down 35 percent since last year. Three days later, Grenell sent Redd a threatening letter that certainly pushed this presidential ratings failure off the front page. (You know how Trump loves to quote his ratings.) And perhaps that was the point of the letter.
