Round 'em up boys. This is from the 2016 election and is the tip of the iceberg. More arrests will be made.
"Ricky Vaughn," is accused of using memes to spread misinformation and disenfranchise voters during the 2016 election. Douglas Mackey, a white nationalist troll who ran a racist and highly influential pro-Trump account on Twitter using the name "Ricky Vaughn," has been charged with election interference. 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. If convicted, Mackey faces up to 10 years in prison. He is set to appear via videoconference at a West Palm Beach federal court on Wednesday. In 2016, Mackey amassed a huge Twitter following across multiple troll accounts using anti-Semitic memes and racist messages. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/a...-election-interference |
