Maybe Taylor will come out and denounce the images of her and announce her support for Harris. Would get even more people to vote for Harris.

Trump Clemency Recipient Accused of Assaulting Wife and Father-in-Law
Jonathan Braun, whose drug sentence was commuted by Donald Trump shortly before he left office, was charged on Long Island, the latest incident to raise questions of how clemency applications were vetted.
But the case of one of those convicts — a New York drug dealer and predatory lender named Jonathan Braun, who had a history of violence and faced an array of other legal problems — has stood out and raised doubts about how rigorous the vetting was.
On Tuesday, the police on Long Island arrested Mr. Braun after he allegedly punched his 75-year-old father-in-law in the head. Mr. Braun struck his father-in-law twice as he tried to protect his daughter from Mr. Braun, who was chasing after her while the couple had an argument in their home, according to the Nassau County District Attorney’s office.
Mr. Braun’s wife, according to court documents, told police that Mr. Braun had assaulted her twice in the past five weeks. On July 17, the court documents said, Mr. Braun threw his wife off a bed onto the floor, “causing her substantial pain and bruising her legs.”
Last week, on Aug. 12, Mr. Braun threw her to the floor and punched her in the head multiple times “causing her substantial pain, bruising” to her arms, legs and head and causing her to feel dizzy, the documents said.
...
Mr. Braun was among a parade of convicts who used connections, money and influence to seek pardons from Mr. Trump, who ran an often ad hoc process for considering clemency requests, largely bypassing an established Justice Department system.
In the final months of the Trump administration, while Mr. Braun was in a federal prison in New York State, Mr. Braun’s family made contact with the father of Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and senior White House adviser, to try to get a commutation request before Mr. Trump. Mr. Kushner’s White House office ultimately drafted the language used in the news release to announce the commutation of Mr. Braun and others.
The commutation surprised many legal experts and local and federal prosecutors and investigators who had dealt with Mr. Braun over the years. Mr. Braun had a history of violence — including throwing a man off a deck in 2018 and years earlier, beating an underling with a belt — and had recently been sued by New York State and the Federal Trade Commission for his role as a predatory lender.
The commutation also dealt a major blow to an ambitious criminal investigation being conducted by the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan that was trying to hold predatory lenders who were fleecing small businesses accountable.
In the days before Mr. Braun received his commutation, prosecutors and his lawyer were in negotiations over a deal in which he would be let out of prison in exchange for flipping on industry insiders and potentially even wearing a wire. But the commutation instantly destroyed the government’s leverage on Mr. Braun and the investigation sputtered out.
After being released Mr. Braun quickly went back to working as a predatory lender, but faced civil actions by New York State and the Federal Trade Commission asserting that he was fleecing small businesses through excessive interest rates and fees. At one point he had threatened a rabbi who owed him money, saying “I am going to make you bleed.”
In February, Judge Jed S. Rakoff of the Federal District Court in Manhattan excoriated Mr. Braun and imposed $20 million in fines on Mr. Braun after finding him liable for the accusations made by the trade commission. Judge Rakoff described Mr. Braun as a craven man who “gleefully, with little remorse,” boasted about his illegal conduct and treated it as a “laughing matter” as he threatened the business owners he gouged.
In May, Resorts Casino in Las Vegas paid for Mr. Braun, his cousin and others to fly from New York to Nevada on a private plane to gamble as high rollers. On the flight, an attendant saw evidence that passengers had been using narcotics and notified the pilot, according to a police report. The police met the plane when it landed, and an officer confiscated a small bag with white powder from the plane but did not arrest Mr. Braun or any other passengers, according to the report.
Resorts Casino kicked Mr. Braun out of the hotel, according to a person briefed on the matter.
Along with being charged on Wednesday with second- and third-degree assault, prosecutors accused him of failing to pay $160 in tolls as he drove his white Lamborghini and black Ferrari convertible across a bridge on Long Island — and said he had been driving the cars without having any license plates on them.
