BALTIMORE—Threatening significant legal consequences if the campaign failed to heed its warnings, the Francis Scott Key estate sent a cease-and-desist letter to Donald Trump on Friday that demanded he discontinue use of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at his rallies.
“This unauthorized political usage is in clear violation of what Francis stood for and everything his song means,” wrote Kara Winstone-Key, great-great-great-great-great-great granddaughter of the lyricist, poet, and lawyer, casting doubt on whether the former president even knew the meaning of broad stripes and bright stars gallantly waving o’er ramparts.
“We’re asking Mr. Trump’s campaign to immediately halt this inappropriate use of our ancestor’s masterwork. Frankly, we did not grant Ms. Harris license to use this song either, nor has the White House ever reached out to broker a deal that would sanction its lengthy history of using ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ to suit its own purposes.
"This is our final request. If Mr. Trump does not take immediate action, we will see him in court.”
The estate went on to warn that it had already been awarded millions from MLB for the sports league’s centuries-long exploitation of the anthem.

That is bullshit!!!
This is why he doesn't have good music in his rallies. Did you all see the face Melania made when Kis Rock was performing. She looked at him like he was a cucaracho and laughed. No lie!
The majority of artists disagree with this narcissistic,racist, evil con man’s views and behavior. That is a normal level headed reaction to this idiots rhetoric. His constant bashing and whining to everything , is getting so old and exhausting. It’s time to get rid of this albatross hanging around the neck of the USA. No more no mas!! Pinche pendejo
Jajaja… como les arde el culo, bola de tortilleros!!! Trup le va a meter el Cheeto chile a la Mensa de Mámala Harris!! All those devil worshiping “artists” that banned him from using his music 🎶 jajaja… if they are against Trump then he is doing something right… bola de diablos 😈 mejor que ponga una rola de Joe López y el super grupo MAZZ…o una de Selena chingado!!! Cuando gane Trump van a cantar 🎤 AHÍ AHÍ AHÍ … COMO ME DUELEEEE 🎶 ARRIBA TRUMP BOLA DE INDIOS!!!! Le voy a decir que les quite la lone star card cuando gane …. Bola de mamones!!
It's all about political preference. Trump and his aides should look at Republican artists instead of using music from Democratic artists that's old and outdated. Much like the Democratic party.
You are so passionate about politics. Like if it was a soccer or football game.
Macarena
Falto John Fogerty.
Mayra Flores reportedly send an Email to Trump urging him to play Vicente Fernandez music at his rallies!!!

A que cheerleader. Ponles casa. Pura 💩 candidates. Hey , but they are your candidates, you can have them. LOL
Trump te va decir que te lleves tus Chivas to whatever Spanish speaking country you are from.
That's because Trump is old.
😆🤣😂😊
Seriously Juanito. You believe those sorry excuse of American people want that song to stopped being played by American people at an American event. Now those people are really anti-american.
Oh, Mayratita in case you have forgotten, since you have become agringada, Vicente era Mejicano. Republicans do not like MESKINS. HAHAHA
SOY LO QUE SOY
Y SIEMPRE LO SERE
PERO JAMAS SERE LAMBISCON
Trump will probably be dead in three or four years. he is OLD. The maga morons will be left to wander in the Walmarts for the next forty years. Oh, Mayratita in case you have forgotten, since you have become agringada,Vicente era Mejicano. Republicans hate Meskins. I do not think that is a good idea. Your maga friends would probably call the MIGRA on you. Ala chingada, pa tras pa Burgos.
Y luego? Que pedo? Bailaron?
Hey Mayra Mentiras , saw your most recent TV commercial . Its “AURAGUUS”( watch it then you will understand). I guess you gave up on the fake ranch life and fake ranch food propaganda. We shall see how she screws it up ( with her lies and foolish rhetoric) this election cycle.
little hands, he gets his thumb stuck in his zipper puller holder.
trumputo little hands
you forgot Johnny Jay and the Ponpadors, Mazz, Gilberto Perez, Tony De La Rosa and of course Freddie and Carlos Santana from el gran southmost area but he denies it. He plays their music at all his raiies.
out of the hundreds of thousands of bands? i don't like any of em either. Just Prince. But wait, he's dead. I guess he asked from the grave not to play his songs at Trump's events. We don't vote on the music they play. It's how they will run our country. i don't like Kamala, I hate the way Trump won't shut his trap, but he's all we got compared to that clown of a woman!
