“Is this seriously the best they’ve got?” Wiley said while dressed as the Statue of Liberty, according to the NBC News report. “No, the Trump campaign did not have my permission to use my name or likeness. Yes, we are reviewing our legal options, and yes, I’m going to do what queer people always do, turn our pain into something positive.”
