BREAKING: Bethesda's Women of Grace luncheon pulled from Mar-a-Lago
Finally! They were getting a lot of local heat.
*****************************************************
In an abrupt shift, the Bethesda Health Foundation has pulled its Nov. 9 Women of Grace luncheon from President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach.
A day after hospital representatives said the event would be staying put at Trump’s club, a website advertising the annual luncheon was quietly updated to show the event is now scheduled for the Boca Raton Resort. Lisa Kronhaus, the hospital’s assistant vice president for public relations and marketing, could not immediately be reached for comment.
On Wednesday, Kronhaus said the event was still set to be held at Mar-a-Lago.
“As of today, right now, our luncheon will still be held at Mar-a-Lago,” Kronhaus told The Palm Beach Post on Wednesday afternoon.
Following Wednesday’s announcement, some Twitter users took aim at the hospital.
“Do you mean @MyBethesda’s Women of Race-ism is holding their luncheon at Mar-a-Lago?” one person wrote in response to Tweet about the foundation’s plans to stick with Mar-a-Lago.
Others used the phrases “women of no grace” and “graceless women” to put pressure on the hospital to change venues.
