Tucker Interviews Man Convicted for Posting Clinton Meme, Mackey Responds to Hillary Criticism

A man who was sentenced to prison for posting a meme mocking 👤Hillary Clinton spoke to 👤Tucker Carlson about the case in an interview released Thursday.

Douglass Mackey, who ran a popular Twitter account under the alias Ricky Vaughn, posted a spoof of a Clinton ad prior to the 2016 presidential election.

The fake ad stated, “Save Time, Avoid the Line” and suggested that people could “vote from home.” The meme, which featured an image of Clinton, also said, “Text ‘Hillary’ to 59925 and we’ll make history together.”

The obvious joke was funny until four years later when President Joe Biden took office and Mackey suddenly found himself a target of the Justice Department.

He was indicted, tried in New York City and ultimately convicted of election interference in March.

“Mackey has been found guilty by a jury of his peers of attempting to deprive individuals from exercising their sacred right to vote for the candidate of their choice in the 2016 Presidential Election,” U.S. Attorney Breon Peace stated at the time.

Mackey faced up to 10 years in federal prison for sharing the meme but was sentenced to seven months
