The second half of our show tonight is dedicated to whistleblower Reality Winner, a woman who did a very brave thing––besides attending middle school with her name––and was punished harshly for it by the Trump administration’s justice system.
Remember how Russia tried to influence the 2016 election? While Reality was an NSA contractor, she saw documents that proved this fact. This incredibly upsetting thing upset her, so she did what she felt was right and leaked it to the news.
She was caught and charged under the Espionage Act of 1917, an outdated law which is SUPPOSED to be used against spies, not concerned citizens. While she has suffered greatly as a result of her leak, America made changes to our voting process that made our elections more secure.
We are all better off because Reality Winner followed her conscience and exposed blatant election meddling. She should not spend a single day longer in prison for the service she did for our country. @JoeBiden, please #FreeRealityWinner.
