USA Freedom Kids now suing Donald Trump
Last edited Wed Jul 27, 2016, 06:15 PM - Edit history (3)
Remember these little darlings?
WashingtonPost.com: Within hours of their performance at a Donald Trump rally in Pensacola, Fla., last January, the U.S.A. Freedom Kids were a sensation. The(y)...told Inside Edition that Trump told them that he planned to listen to their CD all night...Now...Jeff Popick, the father of the smallest Freedom Kid and author of...the song performed at the Trump rally...plan(s) to file a lawsuit against the campaign...
Popick says he asked for $2,500 in payment for the...performance, in Pensacola. The campaign made a counter-offer: How about a table where the group could presell albums? Popick took the deal. When they arrived at the venue, though, there was no table...In addition to costs spent on promotional materials for the nonexistent table, Popick says he also lost several promotional opportunities due to confusion over his relationship with the campaign...
When Trump...(held) an event for veterans, a representative of the campaign called Popick to see if the Freedom Kids might perform...With the promise that the exposure from the event would be "huge," Popick readily agreed, and the kids and their parents packed up for a direct flight to Chicago...When the plane landed, Popick had a message from the campaign staffer indicating that there was a change of plan (but) invited the performers to attend the rally, which they did...(after) a long drive to Iowa...(and) in their outfits. The campaign asked Popick not to talk to the media, he says, but then gave them seats within arm's length of the press. "They just were constantly coming over...They wanted to take pictures, they wanted to ask questions — and I had to be a real jerk." The cost of the flights, rental car and hotel were all absorbed by Popick...
...(Their) album will be out in early September. (The song) Freedom's Call, which included the line "President Donald Trump knows how to make America great" will not be on it.

Maybe Michelle could also sue for the portion of her speech that Melania used...

LOL -- it turns out they've turned over a new leaf in more ways than one!!!
Twin sisters who sparked outrage with pop band named after gas used on Jews claim they've grown up
The girls (age 20), who once wore smiley-face Hitler T-shirts, both have medical marijuana cards, consider themselves "healers" and say they are 'pretty liberal now".
Lynx was diagnosed with cancer during her freshman year of high school, when doctors removed a tumor from her shoulder...She also suffers from a rare condition called cyclic vomiting syndrome...Lamb...suffers from scoliosis and chronic back pain, leading to emotional stress...
"We just want to come from a place of love and light," Lamb said... "I think we’re meant to do something more...We just want to exert the most love and positivity we can."
