The Racist Guy Behind One Of The Most Influential Pro-Trump Twitter Accounts Was Arrested For Election Interference

[Crtcl Rice Theory 2,432]

Douglass Mackey, a white nationalist troll who ran a Trump-boosting Twitter account as “Ricky Vaughn,” is accused of using memes to spread misinformation and disenfranchise voters during the 2016 election.

 

Mackey, a 31-year-old from Vermont, was arrested in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Wednesday. Federal prosecutors allege he conspired with others to use memes and social media platforms to spread misinformation aimed at depriving people of their right to vote during the 2016 presidential election.

“With Mackey’s arrest, we serve notice that those who would subvert the democratic process in this manner cannot rely on the cloak of Internet anonymity to evade responsibility for their crimes,” Seth D. DuCharme, acting US attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said in a statement.

So when will some of the Tech billionaires be arrested for election interference? They certainly did alot worse than simply making memes

[Cyberfx1024 7,980]

So this is bad but having a unfounded accusation still be continously being spread by the Left ok? 

 

On Nov. 1, 2016, Mackey allegedly tweeted an image of a Black woman standing in front of a sign that said “African Americans for Hillary Clinton.” The image falsely claimed that voters could “avoid the line" and "vote from home" via text. The image was made to appear as if it had been created by the Clinton campaign, even displaying a fine print at the bottom: "Paid for by Hillary for President 2016.”

At least 4,900 telephone numbers texted the candidate’s first name to the false number that was listed in multiple deceptive campaign images tweeted by Mackey, the complaint states.

The complaint also describes how, starting in 2015, Mackey and his unidentified coconspirators used group DMs to discuss how to influence the election and disseminate political memes and hashtags, often describing their actions as “psyops.”

For instance, in December 2015, Mackey allegedly discussed making a meme to suggest that certain voters were hiding their desire to vote for their preferred presidential candidate.

This is an attempt to disenfranchise voters by deception. There's no embellishing this that it's criminal. 

 

The comedy here is the "most influential pro Trump Twitter accounts".. why have I never heard of such an apparently super important and influential account before? 🤔

  OK, he's racist, he disenfranchised people and he committed fraud, but did he really do anything wrong?

He also produced the "White Privilege Card" that this deluded Naps Valley soul thought was a license to create pipebombs

Action, intent, and consequences. 

 

This is really no different than lying to a police officer, sexually harassing people, and many, many other things. 

 

Fraudulently portraying the election date as Y instead of the correct X date is disenfranchisement and while I've posted an example of it being done to Trump supporters (as per the bureaus selective/targeted enforcement), disenfranchisement through deceptive means like this usually targets minorities. 

 

As we've seen a lot of election shenanigans target them.
