Two Michigan Musicians Are Suing The Trump Campaign

Two Michigan rockstars filed a lawsuit on Monday against the Trump campaign for using his music at rallies.

According to Wood TV, the former president’s social media team posted a video on August 29 featuring the band’s 2003 chart-topper “Seven Nation Army.”

Almost immediately, White called out the campaign, saying,

“Don’t even think about using my music, you fascists.”
