Mother of 'Success Kid' Demands Steve King Stop Using His Meme
He stares hard at the camera, his clenched fist full of sand. The mother of the boy in this ubiquitous meme sent a cease-and-desist letter to Rep. Steve King on Monday, demanding that the congressman remove her son’s copyrighted photo from websites and campaign materials.
The mother, Laney Griner, sent the letter through her lawyer on Monday after discovering that the picture of her son, Sam, had appeared in an ad for King, R-Iowa, who has a long history of making racist remarks.
