They should have used the fake Seahawk jersey from his Beacon Plumbing ads.

I just wish our minority spineless coward leaders would fight like these demonic communist POS bastards fight!!!!😡. AND WHERE IS THE 24/7 mediavomits report on the laptop for HELL!!!! If I was everybody I would just kick back take a deep breath and screw the mediapukes, screw the rats and get fired up AND pissed off and make a beeline crawl through broken glass to vote for Herschel Walker and this lady …..also donate and knock on doors for them! We Don’t have the luxury of cowering anymore ….those days are gone! Fight! Because our coward spineless pieces of chit minority leaders in DC will not fight for us!

Patty Murray has absolutely no positive message to convey in this election. NONE.

Not so fast. I think she might be up a couple IQ points on Maizie Hirono, so there’s that. Mama Tennis Shoes was widely regarded as the dumbest senator, at least until Crazy Maizie showed up in the District of Corruption.

When the Seahawks gave her husband the Jersey was there a contract which prohibited him from wearing it?

It’s his Jersey and it is not the property of the Seahawks.

She should double down. She should purchase a Jersey of her own and wear it to all her campaign events.

So the Seabags do not Senator Smiley using their logo, but it’s okay for Dems to use it? Murray is attacking Trump in statement, what a MORON...

Tiffany's husband, Scotty Smiley, in the Seahawks jersey that shows no team logos that would tie it to the Seahawks. After the nitpicking Seahawks made a squawk about it, the Smiley campaign blurred the shirt, making it nothing to squawk about.

There are three sides to this story.

The first is why should the Seahawk’s care what team logo merchandise a candidates disabled husband wears in campaign documents? Yes, they want the logo blurred out. It was offered for sale for people to wear. The official T-shirt’s I have have no disclaimer against wearing them in public where your picture might be taken. Nothing requiring me to get legal permission if wearing to get team permission to be photographed.

The second side is that when Patty Murray (D-WA) used Seahawk’s logo stuff in her political campaign materials the Seahawk’s did not blink an eye or file a legal challenge.

The third side of the story is that Murray's polling numbers are good but not great and the Dem’s are worried Smiley might win or at least come close. This is the Soviet of Washington the ultimate Blue-Blue state. So there are connected political insiders who have gotten Starbucks, Seattle Times Newspaper, and the Seattle Seahawk’s to all file essentially the same litigation against Smiley and her campaign. This is an “October Suprise/Slime” of the first order. The people who filed the law suits know they won't stand up in court, but that doesn't matter as the election will be over and “the mom in tennis shoes” will get some good publicity until the court rules.

While the whole think stinks, Starbucks, the Seattle Times and the Seahawk’s are just pandering to their liberal elite masters.
