His followers responded strongly to his sometimes outspoken and edgy material, especially his remarks regarding voting.
But what Mackey and his followers saw as “political humor” was branded as “disinformation” by the Biden Administration, which found him guilty of conspiracy against rights and sentenced him to seven months in federal prison.
With almost 58,000 followers on Twitter, Mackey rose to prominence in 2016. The MIT Media Lab placed him as the 107th most important person in the forthcoming election.
At least 4,900 distinct phone numbers texted “Hillary” to the 59925 SMS number, and Mackey humorously utilized jokes and pictures to entice people to vote for Clinton.
Supporters of Hillary Clinton were advised by Mackey’s meme to “vote by text,” which is obviously not a possibility.
The Biden Administration vigorously pursued him in spite of this. A Brooklyn federal jury convicted Mackey of Conspiracy Against Rights in 2023 for his involvement in a “disinformation campaign.”
