GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann's campaign posted a revised ad today, which uses a generic State Fair logo instead of the actual one.
Fair officials had objected to the campaign's use of the logo. The Bachmann campaign said yesterday they believed they had the legal right to use the logo but agreed to pull it and substituted it with a generic logo.
Michele Bachmann has never believed she has to follow the same rules every one else does.
But the matter still isn't resolved. Brienna Schuette at the Minnesota State Fair says Fair officials are talking to the Minnesota Attorney General's office about whether the new, generic logo is okay. Schuette says "there's still discussion" about this.
The actual content of Bachmann's ad hasn't changed, despite the fact that the claims in the ad were not altogether accurate.
UPDATE 5:49 p.m.: State Fair spokeswoman Brienna Schuette says "the AG is now involved in getting the Minnesota State Fair name and logo pulled. It appears that the ads with the original logo are still running on some stations."
Glad to see the AG is getting involved.
Hat Tip: MN Publius.
