Seriously, #HillaryForPrision is actually trending on Twitter.

Supporters of GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump are apparently using a glaringly misspelled version of #HillaryForPrison, the popular hashtag used to hurl accusations at Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, because they charge the social network is censoring them.

The #HillaryForPrision hashtag was trending as high as at No. 2 on Monday with more than 115,000 tweets, which came in well behind "Happy Halloween."

Twitter declined to comment on the claims, instead directing us to a section of its FAQ stating that:

"Trends are determined by an algorithm and, by default, are tailored for you based on who you follow and your location. This algorithm identifies topics that are popular now, rather than topics that have been popular for a while or on a daily basis, to help you discover the hottest emerging topics of discussion on Twitter that matter most to you."

Clinton's campaign didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
