I was told that going after your political enemies wasn't American, that only banana republics did that, and how cartel Trump even threaten to practice that to Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election. Well, Trump didn't become after Hillary. She wasn't locked upwards, though she should be—and how does he go repaid for that gesture after the 2020 ballot? The Biden Department of Justice is going afterward social media influencers for making pro-Make America Great Once again memes four years ago. No, I'thousand not kidding. This is apparently a criminal conspiracy, which lawyer Aaron Worthing noted was a "dubious" interpretation of the statute.

Hither's the printing release on the charges:

The complaint alleges that in 2016, Mackey established an audience on Twitter with approximately 58,000 followers. A February 2016 assay by the MIT Media Lab ranked Mackey equally the 107th most of import influencer of the and so-upcoming Election, ranking his account higher up outlets and individuals such equally NBC News (#114), Stephen Colbert (#119) and Newt Gingrich (#141).

As alleged in the complaint, between September 2016 and November 2016, in the lead up to the November. 8, 2016, U.S. Presidential Election, Mackey conspired with others to use social media platforms, including Twitter, to disseminate fraudulent messages designed to encourage supporters of one of the presidential candidates (the "Candidate") to "vote" via text message or social media, a legally invalid method of voting.

For case, on Nov. 1, 2016, Mackey allegedly tweeted an prototype that featured an African American woman standing in front end of an "African Americans for [the Candidate]" sign.  The image included the following text: "Avoid the Line. Vote from Home. Text '[Candidate's showtime name]' to 59925[.] Vote for [the Candidate] and be a part of history."  The fine print at the bottom of the epitome stated: "Must be 18 or older to vote. One vote per person. Must be a legal citizen of the United states. Voting past text non available in Guam, Puerto Rico, Alaska or Hawaii. Paid for by [Candidate] for President 2016."

The tweet included the typed hashtags "#Go [Candidate]" and another slogan oft used by the Candidate. On or well-nigh and before Ballot Day 2016, at least four,900 unique telephone numbers texted "[Candidate'south offset proper name]" or some derivative to the 59925 text number, which was used in multiple deceptive campaign images tweeted by the defendant and his co-conspirators.

federal law enforcement actually raided someone's home for photoshopping celebrities wearing MAGA hats. assistant republic.

This is insane. Hillary Clinton paid a foreign operative to defraud the FBI, which then defrauded a federal court, to sway the 2016 ballot. No charges at that place. But a vile cyberspace troll who peddled a dumb meme in 2016? That'south a federal crime in 2021. https://t.co/Rq322uMuTW

Liberal reporter Michael Tracey added, "Democrats have only controlled the authorities for a week and pro-Trump online trolls are already existence indicted for criminal 'conspiracies' involving the posting of memes on Twitter in 2016."

"Pretty sure office of the vast criminal 'conspiracy' entailed tweeting fake images of Taylor Swift wearing a MAGA lid," Tracey added.

"I'm not sure whether it's hilarious or scary as hell that they're essentially indicting someone making memes," wrote Donald Trump, Jr.

Sean Davis at The Federalist also shook his head in disbelief and disgust.

"This is insane. Hillary Clinton paid a strange operative to defraud the FBI, which so defrauded a federal court, to sway the 2016 ballot. No charges there. Merely a vile internet troll who peddled a dumb meme in 2016? That'due south a federal offense in 2021."

Expect, Vaugh is no saint. I'g non endorsing his views at all, only he has a right to concur those horrid views. Free speech is free speech, not matter who is saying what because this—correct hither—is pretty scary admitting a tad comical. The government arrests you lot for creating memes that liberals don't like. Y'all know a Democrat-run DOJ is going to take this for a spin. Who's adjacent? It's certainly something to continue an eye on every bit Democrats plot to enact a domestic state of war on terror agenda here at domicile that is bound to shred constitutional rights. We'll accept more on that later.
