The “most important First Amendment case you’ve never heard of”

Post a meme. Go to jail.

“Go To Jail” - Monopoly board

Revolver took interest in this case from day one, labeling it the “most important First Amendment case you’ve never heard of.” We saw what this case really was: a political test balloon to see how far the regime could push its censorship and lawfare agenda.

If you didn’t know about this case, here’s the backstory on Revolver:

Back in 2020, right after Joe Biden was installed in the White House, one of the very first things his weaponized DOJ did was launch a political hit job on Douglass Mackey, a conservative influencer who dared to mock Hillary Clinton with a satirical meme during the 2016 election.

The meme was obviously a joke and clearly protected speech. But that didn’t matter. What mattered was the message it sent: mock the regime, and we’ll destroy your life.

So, that’s exactly what the Biden regime did.

Many also believe the Mackey case was a test run. Because if they could twist a meme into a federal crime and throw a young guy in prison, could they also go after a former president?

Turns out, yes. They could. And they did.

The Biden DOJ dragged Douglass through years of hell, treating him like some kind of domestic terror threat. Death by satire? Seriously though, what happened to Doug was unforgivable. He missed the birth of his child, a premature baby with special medical needs, because of this disgraceful, politically driven circus. His life, his reputation, and his family were thrown into chaos, all because he shared a joke the regime didn’t like.

And now, after all the drama, the high price of fighting the Deep State, sleepless nights, trials, and piles of unimaginable stress, just like that, it’s all been tossed out.

In a stunning rebuke of Biden’s DOJ, a bipartisan panel of judges, including those appointed by left-wing presidents, vacated Mackey’s conviction. They saw the case for what it was: a political farce, built on thin air and driven by radical anti-American ideology.

Now that the case has been tossed, Mackey has hired a big legal gun:

On Donald Trump Jr.’s show, which aired Monday evening on Rumble, Mackey announced that he will be suing the US government for what was done to him. Not only that, but he’s bringing in some serious firepower. Mackey announced that he has retained attorney James Burnham, who previously served as general counsel for DOGE, as well as counsel to the president, the DOJ Civil Rights Division, and the AG’s office.
