Here are two of the posts he was convicted for:
I’m not surprised that Tucker chose not to show the posts’ actual content. It seems they would have been a critical piece of the story to share for any journalist worth their salt, but let’s not pretend Tucker is a journalist.
I’m not sure what Tucker is suggesting is mocking here (“The First Amendment is done. Douglass Mackey is about to go to prison for mocking Hillary Clinton on the internet.”). Note that the second counterfeit ad above says “paid for by Hillary for president,” a clear attempt to mislead. Tucker says, “Hillary Clinton […] dismisses out of hand that you have a first amendment right to make fun of her.” He goes on to quote Clinton: “people say all kinds of things about us, but his went from running a very deliberate effort to mislead people about where and how to vote in an effort to subvert the election.”
Ironically, this Clinton quote is the most sane thing said about the situation in the entire interview.
A jury of his peers found him guilty.
This was Douglass Mackey’s second conviction for attempting to suppress votes, the first being in 2016.
