The family of late rocker Tom Petty is taking legal action against the campaign of U.S. President Donald Trump after Petty’s 1989 hit “I Won’t Back Down” was played at Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday.

In a joint statement shared on Twitter, Petty’s daughters, Adria and Annakim, are joined by his widow, Dana, and ex-wife Jane in stating, “Trump was in no way authorized to use this song to further a campaign that leaves too many Americans and common sense behind.” The statement adds, “Both the late Tom Petty and his family firmly stand against racism and discrimination of any kind.

Tom Petty would never want a song of his used for a campaign of hate.” RELATED: Neil Young Makes It Clear: ‘F*** You, Donald Trump!’ After pointing

It’s just so simple. Wearing a face mask has been proven to prevent the spread and transmission of the coronavirus. Yet President Donald Trump, 74, has made it a political issue by stubbornly refusing to wear one. Now former President George W.

Her caption read, “Dick Cheney says WEAR A MASK,” and included the hashtag”#realmenwearmasks,” which a number of people on Twitter thought was total shade towards Trump’s mask refusals.
