Politics and the right of publicity

A Republican in Kansas has created a billboard stating that "True Americans vote for Pompeo" (whose opponent is the son of Indian immigrants). The billboard also uses an image of John Wayne in front of a flag. Any problems?  If this is ok, why are musicians getting treated differently when politicians use or mock their songs?
