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.”

The claim is that he was depositing ballots for immediate family members.
It was his family members living with him.
He’s definitely a grifter, long has been. And 2000 Mules was just another effort to take money from the gullible.
People don’t like to hear it but D’Souza is a grifty foreigner who realized that there are a lot of Christians in this country who will believe anything they saw on teevee.
He constantly says moronic things and this is why he does not respond to his critics. He knows he cannot defend his stream of nonsense. All that matters to him is getting rich.
Thx.
And, many of these plants try to pose as really severe ‘conservatives’.
People do not want to hear about old elections...
WRONG.
Was the 2020 Presidential election stolen?
Stop with your Bea Ess nonsense.
You’ve lost any pretense of an argument, right there.
Do your homework, it was proven that the 5 ballots were all from family members living at the same address. It was verified with the individuals involved.
Don’t make a fool of yourself vociferously defending a verifiably false premise.
I have reviewed all the evidence presented in 2000 Mules and by Mike Lindell. Nothing they say holds up. You can never prove a negative so your question is incorrect. It should be “is there dispositive evidence that the election was stolen.” And thus far there is no such evidence.
You can believe whatever feelings you would like to though. But I prefer facts over feelings.
He’s not controlled op, he’s just a Dravidian midwit that conservatives give far too much credence.
You can’t prove a negative” is a principle of folk logic, not actual logic, for your information.
The 2020 election was stolen, provable by the cyber analysis provided in the very first live presentation of the NYTimes analysis of the vote counts vs. the real time in sequence-a presentation, graphically and numerically by Donald J. Trump.
In 6 critical Electoral States.. the vote counting stopped and then began again, at nearly the same time in the early morning following Election Day, with statistically impossible numbers being “counted” and added to the total- dramatically impossible rise in counts in each of these states. These were digital “ballots” and not votes. Votes are by each voting precinct in each county in the USA. These counties have a specific verifiable number of voters whose ballots would be possible to have been tendered. The digital vote surge post counting shutdown, exceeded more than 20% in each of the 6 key Electoral States and, spread across all of their precincts by county. A statistical and numerical impossibility— proven by the data. The so called “negative” was proven to be the CASE. There is NO question.
The only question is why a highly compromised VP Pence who wears his “biblical” religion on his sleeve, went along with the very Marxist/Leftist non-Christian/Judeo demonrat Speaker Pelosi to completely disregard the Constitutional challenges already entered into the docket on January 6th, 2021 to be considered for rejection of those State’s Electoral “votes”— to return the Elector Slates back to their states for reconsideration or substitution of Legislatively decided Electors based on the verified counts.
In your opinion there is no dispositive evidence. Not, however in point of fact. There is and it is massively proven. Peter Navarro sits in jail for not appearing before the kangaroo Benny Thompson (the deeply religious Benny) and the sociopathic daughter of former VP Dick Cheney. Peter Navarro’s published proof of the Election Steal is without question dead on accurate. And DeSouza’s production proves how ballot stuffing could have and most likely did add to the massive digital steal.
I think this guy must be Lindsay Graham. Sounds stupid like that.
Bug off. Post your hatred elsewhere.
By the way— this is Mediaite! You have any NOTION of the provenance of their headline or any facts? Salem can apologize to avoid some Lawfare harrassment suit, but it cannot retract publicly owned and distributed versions of 2000 Mules.
Also, if Mike Lindell’s work is so.... false, then why did the demorat machine and bankers and various other threatened apparatchiks of obama and comany try to destroy his business. One could say that he had convincing evidence, and uh, and even dispositive! Data speak loudly. Navarro’s particularly well, such that he, and not AG Eric Holder (a true criminal thug of obama’s )is sent to prison for Contempt of Congress. You see how this works? Is not the Bible full of righteous people imprisoned for the Truth?
Maybe because D’Souza served time forced by the Clintons over a false campaign finance violation— and is a Catholic, perhaps the Clinton kind of “Christians” (people like Joel Osteen) find reasons for attacking him. He had and still has their number, and they shake down Salem network to “get” him.
Is that you Paul Ryan?
Yep. Commie group of liars. Figures thus sick troll would cite them.
Really? I don't remember any of the dinosaur media even seriously looking at it.
Compare the county numbers and votes for Obama in 2008 and Biden's numbers in 2020 and you'll see there's no ********* way Biden won fair and square.
LOL ... very well could be Linda.
You have no respect for the civil rights of dead people—in our “democracy” they get to vote.
;-)
“What abortion compromise are you proposing that would ensure Democrats vote for Trump for president?”
I hate to break it to you, but it’s Republicans too. An extremely low percentage of EITHER party approves of limiting abortions to less than six weeks. So all talk of total bans, or setting the limit to less than six weeks - should cease immediately.
Really, with widespread public support for abortion being what it is (in BOTH parties), Republicans should be happy with the win on Roe v Wade, and just avoid the topic altogether. Outspokenly pro-life candidates who talk about restricting abortions cannot win elections at this time - there is nowhere near enough support for it.
By the way, I am strictly pro-life - and it breaks my heart that we are such a small minority - but that is the reality. I’m sorry.
If you want to save more innocent babies from the scourge of abortion-on demand, you need to elect pro-life candidates who know better than to shoot their mouth off about banning abortions. By being less vocal about it, they can fly under the radar and win elections. Then, and only then, can they make incremental changes.
Not a single baby is saved by losing elections.
