Knox developed 84 Lumber’s 2017 Super Bowl commercial, which happened to stir controversy before airing. The commercial featured a border wall separating a mother and a child from freedom, following their journey to it. The wall was seen as too political by Fox and thus got censored. The Washington Times said “she’s a staunch supporter of President Trump and his proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall” and how she “personally helped develop the commercial but said her politics had nothing to do with its message.”
