Harris supporter fights back after she was featured in pro-Trump ad without consent

In an NBC News interview over the summer, Yasmin Vossoughian spoke with a Philadelphia woman who lost her son to gun violence and was concerned about inflation. Quotes from that interview were used in a pro-Donald Trump PAC ad. Vossoughian revisits Kim Burrell to discuss how she feels about being used in the ad and what actions she is taking to fight it.

I’ve hated that commercial since the first time I saw it. I knew it was out of context. She confirmed it.

cease and desist letter sent.... ad still showing... time for the next defamation lawsuit and sue the PAC as well...

[koda]

She's right! That's not only *DISGUSTING* it's *ILLEGAL!* I sense a new legal suit on the horizon, à la #ShayMoss & #RubyFreeman!

I’m in GA and I see that ad with her in it at least 3-4 times a day. Just sad 💙

"Time tested conservative values" as usual means lying through their teeth.

[himateesookhai]

This lady should sue them for defamation, just like Ruby Freeman and her daughter sued Jullani.

[larrychatfield]

she needs to sue that PAC. note trump and his group love to sue anyhow right?!

[jeffreymartin]

They’re trash! What should we expect? I hope she can sue them

[sandraelliott]

I am so sick of Trump and his bs !!! Vote blue to make him go away

[bridgetcollins]

If the ad picked up the video from ABC, doesn't ABC have a case for copyright enfringement?

[marchellewhite-stein]

Sue absolutely take them to court. This is absolutely wrong!

[MrMarkOlson]

The Trump campaign knows no bottom for its depth of depravity.

[othellorucker]

I’ve seen this lady on the ads. I was lowkey confused seeing this

[OconByrd]

I'm in California, not a swing state by any means, and I see that ad all the time. I'm not at all surprised that they manipulated the ad.
Glad to hear she's voting for Harris!!

Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss
From here in Georgia election poll workers sued and won
Sue them !

[lynngordon]

Trump and his lawyers don’t care. Not about the law nor morality nor United States citizens.

[dogs]

Absolutely I would not give him permission to put my face supporting him and put it all over not just for the United States to see but for anyone in the world. That is a huge disgusting embarrassment for her😢😢😢 sue him. He won’t get anything but sue him anyway.

[tonefaulcon]

The question is does it fall under fair use, since they pulled her words from something that was already in the public forum. Hopefully she gets a lawyer that focuses on fair use in the public domain.

[missypooh]

The Trump campaign is doing this a lot! I saw Sunny from the View in a Trump ad on YouTube last night.

Disgusting on the part of the ad producers, but also example of why it is important to take your time and speak clearly. Most of us don't get chances to "clarify" something we have said. Say what you mean, and mean what you say. Words have meaning.
