(CNN)In January, the USA Freedom Kids rocketed to viral fame after performing at a Donald Trump rally in Pensacola, Florida. But undisclosed after the red, white and blue performance of "Freedom's call" was a brewing resentment from the group's manager toward the Trump campaign.
This behind-the-scenes disagreement has now boiled over into the threat of a lawsuit, as first reported by The Washington Post.
Jeff Popick, the father of one of the girls and manager of the group, confirmed to CNN on Tuesday he soon intends to file a suit against the Trump campaign and said he had secured the legal services of lawyer Marc Shapiro.
"It's not going to be a billion dollar lawsuit," Popick stressed, calling the impetus for the suit mostly an issue of "morality."

The performance was horrible - going VIRAL does not mean people are supportive of what they see- from many perspectives. As the father of a girl I cringed watching it and not just because the parents are letting their children be used to support scum like Trump.
