Former Bassmaster Elite Series and Major League Fishing competitor Jason Quinn has filed a lawsuit against Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and his campaign, according to a newspaper report published Monday.
The Rock Hill (S.C.) Herald states that Quinn has accused Sanders of using an online video image without permission. A lawsuit, which was filed on Saturday in York County (S.C.) civil court, according to the paper, alleges that Sanders, and his campaign, used images of Quinn driving a bass boat in a campaign video called, “5 Reasons the Border Wall Won’t stop Drugs,” the lawsuit states.
The video was posted to Sanders' official YouTube channel in July 2018. The video is about how a southern border wall won’t stop illegal drugs, court records show.
The lawsuit claims that Quinn does not support Sanders, did not give permission to use the video, and has been harmed by the video’s portrayal of Quinn in reference to the trafficking of illegal drugs.
