Jailed for Memes: MAGA Influencer Douglas Mackey Gets Seven-Month Sentence

Excerpt: An Obama-appointed judge in New York City has sentenced Douglas Mackey, who operated the influential pro-MAGA Twitter account "Ricky Vaughn" in 2016, to seven months behind bars for "election interference."

Mackey was arrested by the DOJ shortly after Joe Biden took office in 2021. The case brought against him alleged that he interfered in the 2016 election because of a joke tweet telling people to "text their vote" to Hillary Clinton's campaign line.

Nothing explains, however, how the government plans to survive a First Amendment challenge.

The law makes it a crime to "injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person ... in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right." It does not specifically say anything about providing false information.

Mackey was charged under 18 USC 241, known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, which was passed to stop violent deprivations of civil rights in the aftermath of the Civil War. The Biden Justice Department is now using this against other political enemies.

Breitbart News's Joel Pollak broke down the legal case against Mackey shortly after his arrest, noting that a leftist comedian posted exactly the same joke in reverse and faced no legal repercussions.

Why one and not the other?

Interesting Comparison: "18 USC 241, known as the Ku Klux Klan Act" in America. The major Hate-Crime Law in Australia is known as 18C. Coincidence? Believe it or not. ~ @Cailen.
