Court Throws Out Conviction Of Man Sentenced For Clinton Meme

Douglass Mackey, the man sentenced to seven months in federal prison for reposting some Hillary Clinton-themed memes in 2016, told The Federalist it “feels incredible” to learn his conviction has been vacated and he will be acquitted. He was on vacation with his wife and baby and had no idea a decision was coming on Wednesday in his appeal case, which has been languishing in the United States Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit since late 2023.

It is a victory for free speech, and yet another sickening reminder of how, under former President Joe “Autopen” Biden, the Department of Justice (DOJ) spent much of its time going after average citizens for political speech, such as Catholics, Trump supporters, parents at school board meetings, and pro-lifers, as my colleague Brianna Lyman previously reported.
