Trump supporter Douglass Mackey, aka “Ricky Vaughn,” was sentenced to 7 months in prison in 2023 for sharing a joke meme on social media that sarcastically told Democrats to vote for Hillary Clinton by phone in the 2016 election.

As part of the appeals process, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan, New York, ordered a lower court on Wednesday to enter a judgment of acquittal for Mackey after a trial failed to prove prosecutor claims that the pro-Trump meme creator conspired with others to influence the election.

“Hallelujah!” Mackey wrote following the ruling.

Mackey’s legal troubles stemmed from the social media post below:

Meanwhile, leftist talking head Jimmy Kimmel in 2024 was never targeted by the weaponized judicial system after he told his millions of viewers that Trump supporters should vote on Thursday or Friday when Election Day was Wednesday.

Mackey joined The Alex Jones Show last year to warn his fellow Americans that they too could become political prisoners for taking part in online meme warfare if the nation goes in the direction of nations like Britain where internet users are increasingly apprehended for controversial posts.
