Ray-Ban, the company that makes the iconic Wayfarer sunglasses, throws some shade Rand Paul's way. Turns out the company wasn't keen on
Rand's logo being slapped on their product:
The Rand-Ban sunglasses were for sale for $150 on Paul’s website as recently as Tuesday. The website described the product as “the intersection of politics and cool.”
But the campaign didn’t have Ray-Ban’s consent, and the company didn’t think that was cool.
“We learned that the Rand Paul campaign had been selling Ray-Ban sunglasses imprinted with the “Rand” logo without our consent,” Jane Lehman, head of corporate communications for Luxottica, that parent company of Ray-Ban, wrote in an email to The Hill.
Also this:
One picture on Paul's website showed President John F. Kennedy wearing the iconic glasses atop his head next to a picture of Paul with a similar pair of glasses.
Here's a screengrab:
Don't worry, there's still plenty of Rand Paul swag to go around. Like these
"Freedom Socks." And haven't you always wanted Rand's
head on a stick? And nothing says class like
Rand Paul wine glasses.
But looks like you'll have to look elsewhere for shades for your "cool Rand Summer."
