thewayneOh, I love irony!
The PAC is now called Haley Voters For Harris, and after Miss Nik threw her support to Trump at the convention, they decided to throw their support - and their $400,000 - to Kamala!
Little Miss Nik didn't like this and sent them a cease and desist, saying they couldn't use her name, likeness, etc. So the people running the PAC, in their best Eric Cartman imitation, replied with (paraphrasing) "I can do what I want!" Nikki is a public figure, which loses her a lot of copyright protection, greatly weakening C&D threats.
From the article: “Kamala Harris and I are total opposites on every issue,” Haley wrote in a statement denouncing the group. “Any attempt to use my name to support her or her agenda is deceptive and wrong.” To which the group responded "“Our rights to engage with voters and encourage them to vote for Vice President Harris—who in our view is the clear better choice for the country—will not be suppressed,” and instantly gained another 3,000 followers!
I find this tremendously amusing.
