This fascistic Biden junta is a disgrace. With reichleiter Garland at the DoJ.
This is what persecution looks like.
This is what persecution looks like.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote a letter on Wednesday calling for criminal charges against a man for posting a meme to be dropped and for US Attorney General Merrick Garland to resign.
Douglass Mackey, aka Ricky Vaughn, is facing criminal charges for posting a meme instructing voters casting ballots for the 2016 election to vote via text, which is not actually possible.
Greene said to Garland in the letter, "I write to you expressing my profound dismay at the Department of Justice's (DOJ) case against Douglas Mackey over his posting of memes on Twitter in 2016. Shockingly, Mr. Mackey is being charged with… a subset of the enforcement act of 1870 also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act."
...
Greene added, "First of all, it is an affront to African Americans lynched and murdered by the Ku Klux Klan that the DOJ is equating their treatment at the hands of racist terrorists to a Florida man posting memes on Twitter. That the DOJ thinks these two things are commensurate should be concerning to anyone."
"The law Mr. Mackey is accused of violating is clearly intended to criminalize physical violence and intimidation used to prevent people from exercising their rights as outlined in the Constitution, not for the sharing of memes on social media," Greene noted. "Mr. Mackey caused no one physical harm, did not threaten or intimidate anyone and certainly did not kill anyone."
Greene speculated, "The question then is whether the DOJ is deliberately contorting this statute to apply to the free speech exercise by individuals with dissenting political views. All the evidence points to this being the case."
...
Mackey’s trial was scheduled to begin this week in New York, but his attorneys have requested a two-week adjournment after the Southern Poverty Law Center reportedly intimidated a witness into withdrawing his testimony.
