The White Stripes are following through with their threat of legal action after an aide to Donald Trump posted a video featuring one of their songs, filing a copyright infringement lawsuit against the staffer and the former president’s campaign.
In the suit filed Monday in the Southern district of New York, the band accused Trump’s campaign of “flagrant misappropriation” of their 2003 hit, “Seven Nation Army.”
Last month, Margo Martin, Trump’s deputy director of communications, posted a video clip of the ex-commander-in-chief traveling to a pair of rallies with “Seven Nation Army” playing as he boarded a plane.
“Oh…. Don’t even think about using my music you fascists,” Jack White, one half of the rock duo, wrote on Instagram at the time.
On Monday, White posted part of the lawsuit on Instagram with a message: “This machine sues fascists.”
