Dinesh D’Souza’s movie that sought to prove former President Donald Trump’s fantasy that the 2020 election was stolen from him by widespread fraud has been debunked time and time again. Now, years after its release, its executive producer is retracting the film entirely.
Following the 2020 election, D’Souza released 2000 Mules as an attempt to justify Trump’s loss to President Joe Biden. Trump famously held a screening of the movie at his Mar-a-Lago estate and MAGA supporters promoted the film during it’s release in May 2022.
The film was produced by Salem Media Group, a conservative radio juggernaut that airs the likes of Sebastian Gorka and Charlie Kirk.
In a new statement, Salem apologized for the film and said it would cease distributing it. The move came after a man featured in the movie sued Salem for defamation.
The movie featured video showing the man, Mark Andrews, putting five ballots in a drop box in Lawrenceville, Georgia in 2020. D’Souza falsely claimed in the film that Andrews’ actions were criminal, describing the votes as “fraudulent.”
The statement from Salem blamed D’Souza for the smear.
“In publishing the film and the book, we relied on representations made to us by Dinesh D’Souza and True the Vote, Inc. (‘TTV’) that the individuals depicted in the videos provided to us by TTV, including Mr. Andrews, illegally deposited ballots,” the company said in a statement. “We have learned that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has cleared Mr. Andrews of illegal voting activity in connection with the event depicted in 2000 Mules.”

I cannot refute that. It is a fact that *KNOWN LIARS* "dispute" what Dinesh said.
It is an irrelevant piece of "truth" because it is proof of nothing.
2) Many people have evaluated those statements and showed that they are false or unproveable
Now that I *CAN* refute. "Showed" in this context means "proven." They have made assertions but these are not "proof." Therefor they have *NOT* shown that these are false. Or unproveable.
3) Dinesh has not debated with these critics
Why debate liars? Would you debate Abortion with the Democrat women's caucus? Also I don't know if he has or hasn't. Perhaps he has, but there are so many of them that we don't know who he debated and who he hasn't.
4) Dinesh’s financiers said the film was going to be pulled for inaccuracies
I have your word that they said that, (Which you get information from sources I consider liars) but even if they said that, it isn't necessarily true. The movie may be absolutely accurate, but they are just saying that to avoid legal troubles, like Fox News did with their billion dollar Election machine company lawsuit.
New York courts, remember? Liars who need to be just beaten and put in prison with the other criminals.
If Dinesh had real proof, he would have debated the critics.
Why? They are paid to claim what they claim. As Upton Sinclair noted:
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it."
Either paid whores or fanatic liars, debating them is pointless. They have no honesty or integrity.
And he used a Moscow map as if it were from Georgia.
I have no idea if that is true or not. Prove it. Post a photo of his usage of a Moscow map from the movie.
This is blatant lying.
Or just a mistake, *IF* it is even true.
No one cited 2000 Mules in their court briefs, because they know it is not a solid piece of work.
Well they aren't Democrats in a biased court system. Whenever Democrats prosecute people with cellphone data, such as they did constantly in the J6 trials, that was great "evidence" of their culpability, but the corrupt courts do not use the same standards for Republicans trying to use the same sort of evidence.
If the Democrats needed to use this sort of evidence, it would be fine in court. It is only not acceptable when Republicans want to use it.
No question about it...NONE.
It was stolen and there will be consequences.
So the liars tell us, but the facts do not match. You don't get 15 million more votes by population increases. You get them only through fraud.
Millions of people were not voting for Xiden. They were voting AGAINST Trump.
So the *LIARS* tell us, but Trump got the highest *REAL VOTE* total in American history. The News liars fabricated the propaganda that he is hated, but the actual vote numbers proved he was the most popular incumbent president EVER!
They wanted him out, just as it appears people are feeling now about Xiden.
Not at all. The Disgust and hatred of that greasy nasty corrupt pervert is real, while all the Trump "hate" was fabricated by the media-lie-system. (Which I keep telling people we need to utterly stomp out of existence.)
People really do hate Biden. News Liars and celebrity propaganda mouths hate Trump. Real people don't hate Trump.
Your feeling about the total number of ballots cast is also not proof of anything.
It is absolute proof that Biden is illegitimate. In no universe is it possible for that craptastic piece of sh*t to win an election for dog catcher, let alone President.
Covid allowed them to gin up fake absentee ballots, and *THAT* is where the fraud crept in.
“Student loan voter bribery was a greater factor than election fraud.”
This is almost certainly true. Democrats are constantly offering free stuff to people and too many Republicans pretend it has no effect. It’s extremely effective. Trump has at least realized this with Social Security. I’m glad he threw away the obsession with privatizing it that Dubya, Mittens, and Paul Ryan had.
“Most baby murder is done via pills.
Pill control has a 115-year history of failure. Ask any junkie.”
That may be true, but nonetheless, drugs are still illegal and in pro-life states, so are abortion pills. Both are as they should be.
You know these intricate details of how the election liars claim to do their jobs, but you are absolutely ignorant about the massive mountain of evidence *PROVING* election fraud?
I can only come to one conclusion. You are a deliberate liar. You've expended much effort to spew their lying excuses, and *NO* effort to look at the massive mountain of evidence on the other side.
Each step of the ballot process is put onto the internet so that voters can see where their ballot is at any given step of the process.
You can lie to ignorant people, but many of us remember *ALL* the d@mn interference running by the Georgia election people when it came to doing audits or investigations on the election. They threw up every f***ing excuse to *NOT* be honest and forthcoming with the desired information, but you just accept their words on stuff they volunteer freely and without coercion?
If I didn't believe you were a deliberate liar, I would have to say you are a d@mn fool to be so easily gulled.
*ONLY* statements against interests should be believed from any of the authorities in Georgia. Kemp and Raffesperger are up to their corrupt necks in Chinese money, and nobody benefited more from the coup that removed Trump from office than the Chinese.
You seem not to realize that under the law, D’Souza’s production company had the right to the chain of custody records for the ballots of Andrews’ family members. Do you seriously believe they had that information and it affirmed D’Souza’s story but they declined to state that at all to the public or in court? This is information that was easy to look up. It’s not secret. And they had the right to it.
Yeah.
“You don’t get 15 million more votes by population increases. You get them only through fraud.”
Again, you think your personal opinions and inferences are facts. They are not. Only 55% of eligible voters cast a ballot in 2016. That means there were tens of millions of people who could have voted but did not. They were heavily mobilized by both of the parties in 2020. The anti-Trumpers came out in full force to eject him. The pro-Trumpers came out in force to support him. This is easy to understand. Just because you *feel extra hard* that something is true does not make it true.
“So the *LIARS* tell us, but Trump got the highest *REAL VOTE* total in American history. The News liars fabricated the propaganda that he is hated, but the actual vote numbers proved he was the most popular incumbent president EVER!”
This means nothing. Trump was also the most hated incumbent president EVER. End of your talking point.
“People really do hate Biden. News Liars and celebrity propaganda mouths hate Trump. Real people don’t hate Trump.”
What statistics do you have to prove this point?
“’Your feeling about the total number of ballots cast is also not proof of anything.’
“It is absolute proof that Biden is illegitimate.”
You just wrote that your feelings are “absolute proof.” This is Russiagate thinking.
Look, I don’t care if you want to believe 2020 was stolen. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Most people do not share your viewpoint. This is not a winning issue for Trump. It’s time for him to put it by the wayside and focus on Biden’s presidency rather than the past.
Anyone can read the press release from Salem that they retracted the film. Don’t be willfully ignorant.

Just because you don’t like a source does not mean it is incorrect. I’m guessing you’re one of those Jim Hoft lovers.
“What is most unusual is someone who is supposed to be concerned about Abortion, accepting the most ridiculous codswallop spewed out by the most anti-pro-life people you will ever find.”
This is so absurdly stupid that it makes no sense whatsoever. Saying that Trump should compromise on 2020 rather than taking any kind of pro-life stand is absolutely pro-life. Most people do not care about 2020 at all. And the vast majority think Biden won fairly. It’s fine if you disagree with them. But this is not a good issue for Trump. If you support him, you will focus on Biden’s corruption and inflation.
Alleged. Claimed. Asserted.
Which is what any liar would claim if he was caught. Some of you accept "proof" with no questions. Gullible people.
“Abortion and birth control are the issues conservatives need to compromise on if they want to win elections.”
I will not.
It won’t be the RNC I will be standing in front of come Judgement Day.
“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” Mark 8:36 NIV
And if conservatives compromise on the Leftist agenda in order to win elections, who has really won? Whose agenda will be implemented?
If the issue was sending all Conservatives to the gas chamber rather than abortion, would you say that Republicans should “compromise on the gas chamber” issue if they want to win elections?
My morals don’t follow my vote, my vote follows my morals.
Be well, my FRiend.
What an amusing way to say "I don't want to back up what I claimed, so I am going to pretend I am above the fray."
My point is valid. Your admonition to just believe the massive pile of lies spewed out by hundreds of liberal websites is what is foolish. It is fit for easily persuaded people of little rational ability.
Because of the media liars. I keep telling people that the linchpin of American politics is the propaganda system. Destroy that, or you will never fix what is wrong in this country.
If you could get actual abortion videos onto the mainstream media system, very nearly every person in America would demand and end to abortion. It wouldn't even be close. They only hold back the truth because of their massive censorship and lie promoting mass communications systems.
Break that propaganda system, and they will be defenseless before the wrath of the American people.
Since you don't understand how the propaganda system in this country works, let me explain it to you.
If you "google" the liberal talking point, you will get dozens of pages of *LIBERAL* liars saying the exact same thing, and linking to other pages of liberal liars saying the exact same thing.
You have to be an idiot to think the actual truth will pop out anywhere near the top of your search. Back to you.
How about *YOU* do this?
Google "Where are the records of ballots being sent to these "family members" ?
Get back to me when you've got some actual proof rather than a massive collection of liberal liar circle jerks.
We remember all the attempts by Raffensperger to cover up election issues that demonstrate the election was stolen. Why would you trust anything coming out of that office after we see what he has already done?
At this point, I will only believe things that are outside of his control.
There is an old story that makes the point quite clearly.
A bully, upon hearing there was a very wise man who lived on a hill, decided he would test the man, and make a fool of him.
So he caught a small bird, and went up the hill to the wise man, and he said "Wise old man, what do I have in my hands behind my back?"
The Wise old man replied, "My son, you have a little bird."
The bully than thought to himself, "I will ask him if it is alive or dead, and if he says it is alive, I will crush it and then show him it is dead. If he says it is "dead", I will show it to him alive, and thereby make a fool of him. "
So he asked the wise old man, "Is the bird alive or dead."
The old man responded, "My son, the bird is in your hands."
All the record evidence has long been in the hands of proven liar Brad Raffensperger, who secretly recorded Trump in a phone conversation, and then *LIED* about it. Also it was illegal.
So the records are in his and his subordinates hands, and they can make them into whatever they want.
I think your intent is to just make trouble, and nothing else. Trump is the only game conservatives have right now, and therefore I will support him and urge others to do so regardless of what pretend allies claim to think.
*I* have read massive amounts of information on this topic, and you are not going to fool me with your assertions and half truths.
I can only hope others reading your tripe are not so gullible.
