Mike Huckabee's Republican presidential campaign is long over, but newly revealed records show that the former candidate had to make a $25,000 payment for a copyright mistake he made at a rally last year.
Kim Davis, Clerk of Courts in Rowan County, Kentucky, made headlines when she refused to give same-sex couples gay marriage licenses. She served five days in jail for resisting court orders. Huckabee turned her release into a campaign event, holding a rally on the steps of the Kentucky jail where Davis was held.
As Davis approached the dais, Huckabee's campaign blasted the tune "Eye of the Tiger," the 1982 hit by Survivor. That led Survivor frontman Frankie Sullivan to take to Facebook, where he wrote: "NO! We did not grant Kim Davis any rights to use 'My Tune -The Eye Of The Tiger. I would not grant her the rights to use Charmin! C'mom Mike, you are not The Donald but you can do better than that. See Ya really SoooooooonnnnnnN!!!!!!"
