Frankie Sullivan would like to make something clear: Kim Davis does NOT have the Eye of the Tiger.
Even if the controversial Kentucky clerk would like everyone to think she does.
Davis – the government employee who made headlines last month for refusing to grant marriage licenses to gay couples… despite her being legally obligated to so – was released from prison on Tuesday.
She held a press conference alongside her lawyer and Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, shedding tears of joy and giving credit to God – and she did so with Survivor’s "Eye of the Tiger" blasting in the background.
The song was made famous by Rocky III and is considered an inspirational anthem to millions of people, which is why the band’s lead singer went on Facebook yesterday and issued the following statement:
“NO! We did not grant Kim Davis any rights to use My Tune -‘The Eye Of The Tiger,’” Sullivan wrote.
He then took Huckabee to task, comparing him to Republican Donald Trump and writing:
"C’mom [sic] Mike, you are not The Donald but you can do better than that."
After jailing Davis for contempt of court, a judge released her this week on the condition that she would not interfere with her underlings issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
This is otherwise known as following the law.
“If you have to put someone in jail, I volunteer to go. Let me go. Lock me up if you think that’s how freedom is best served,” Huckabee told a cheering crowd at the rally, apparently not understanding how jail sentences work.
He added:
“I am willing to spend the next eight years in the White House leading in this country. But I want you to know I’m willing to spend the next eight years in jail, but I’m not willing to spend the next years in tyranny under people who think they can take our freedom and conscience away.”
