Ron DeSantis Faces Backlash from Peaky Blinders Star and Creator

Ron DeSantis, the Republican Governor of Florida, is facing criticism for using footage of the character Tommy Shelby from the TV show "Peaky Blinders" without permission in an anti-LGBTQ campaign ad for his US presidential campaign. The creators and actors of the show have disapproved of the use of their content and narrative in the video. This is not the first time Republican politicians have faced backlash for using artists' content without permission, with Donald Trump being criticized by numerous musicians for using their music at campaign rallies.
