The Curious Case of Douglass Mackey: Targeted by Both GOP and Democrats | Truth Over News

The case of Douglass Mackey is often cited as the prime example of the Biden administration’s crackdown on Trump supporters. Mr. Mackey is the internet troll who sent out memes in 2016 that invited Hillary Clinton voters to vote via text message. He was convicted last year—seven years after the alleged offense—of conspiring to deprive people of their constitutional right to vote, and sentenced to 7 months in jail. He’s currently awaiting the outcome of his appeal.

While it is true that Mr. Mackey was arrested right after Joe Biden became president, the real story of his case and why he was arrested right after President Donald Trump left office is far more complex than simply President Biden arresting Trump supporters. In truth, Mr. Mackey was targeted not just by Democrats, but by Republicans and Democrats together. It was a swamp coproduction. That’s the untold story of the case.
