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 movie has NEVER been debunked because it is TRUE!”
There have been scores of articles examining the claims of 2k Mules. None of his major assertions have proven true.
Just google “debunk 2000 mules” and you can find any number that examine the allegations in great detail.
Here is one:
Also, you should notice that all of the largest conservative media organizations have not supported the movie, because they also know that it is false. Only Alex Jones or Gay Pundit believe it and they are fake news.
“The best answer right now is Trump. The fact that our Republic has just been damaged at its foundations is the one thing that will motivate people who ignored politics in their day to day lives.”
I think you are correct about this, even though I do think that he is not ingratiating himself with the Lord by compromising on abortion. I wish he would compromise on things that are not of divine concern, such as taxes, the 2020 election, or healthcare. Those would be better to move to the middle, if he really feels like he must.
Some of the drugs sold as “birth control” are abortifacients. I’m sorry but that is the truth.
I do agree that focusing on other forms of birth control should be done at the cultural level first though. The punishment of Onan does show that God does not approve of contraception though, but I am not sure how we can get to a point where society will accept this truth.
Ha! I knew you wouldn’t be able to answer my EASY and simple question.
But, but, but ... there’s this...and, that.
Blah, blah ... nothing but leftist sources, in your quivering quiver.
It’s not my fault that you don’t understand basic logic. No different than the Russiagate obsessives who imagine that Trump was installed by Putin, even though they can’t prove that at all.
What have they done to prevent a repeat of the steal in '24?
Your principles and a quarter will buy you an egg at the store.
Challenge a Democrat court and remember to write us from prison.
No, that was to show the paymaster he'd done his job.
“What have they done to prevent a repeat of the steal in ‘24?”
This is their current focus:

That is because most people have no knowledge of the facts, only the media lies.
Mark Andrews claimed without proof that he was putting in ballots for him, his wife and voting-aged children that lived at home.
See, I can do it, too. "Baseless claims". "Unfounded".
Only, I'm actually telling the truth. It's Mark Andrews' word that that's what was going on.
Do you think the Media or Rattenspewer's minions are going to actually dig deeper?
As freeper Swirl wrote: “Is that why he took pictures of the ballots as he dropped them in the collection box?”
LOL! The "legal system" in that section of Georgia [metro Atlanta] is on a par with the New York City environs.
Pull the other one.
Georgia had the ballots Andrews claimed to have submitted. They were turned in at the same time and location as his ballot. So there is confirming evidence of his statements. This is very simple, and it’s the reason that Salem gave up and paid a huge settlement and retracted the movie.
Dinesh made a big mistake and you are under no obligation to believe his retracted documentary. He is not defending it anymore either.
“Is that why he took pictures of the ballots as he dropped them in the collection box?”
The person who took the pictures you are referencing was not Mark Andrews. And if you are delivering someone’s ballot for them, why would it be wrong to send a picture of you dropping it in? I would appreciate such verification if I were the person who was being assisted in that manner.
Speculations and suspicions are not arguments or proof of anything. They are evidence of your own feelings, but they are not facts.
You send them (trillions of bytes of them) from internet connected select precincts to Scytl (Spanish company) servers in Italy, add to the numbers and send them back via satellite net connections. Cyber Command (at that time under Acting SecDef Miller) has, or had all the digital captures of the signal traffic. No doubt NSA has them as well.
That’s how— main point is the numbers exceed the census for the precincts involved. Proof of digital “vote” stuffing by non-existent voters.
Lara Trump would prove your statement wrong about mail in ballots. They are getting this done. So you are wrong about this, as well.
Was not the landmark SCOTUS decision a huge victory? You focus on abortion, because the demonrats last gasp focuses on this— and you do it because “it’s not enough”. Generationally, FRiend, it is way more than enough- and put a world of hurt on Planned Parenthood, which in turn puts a world of hurt on the illegal alien open borders to make a new voter block out of the formerly aborted new generations that they foolishly removed. To prop up their social agenda— and also to fund 5th column Marxist fighters to take down our country.
Abortion is way down the list. Illegal alien open borders and giving them the vote—like Schumer the moron is screaming desperately for— that issue is high on voter priorities. We are winning the abortion issue—it’s clear the libs heads are exploding with pretzel logic over the simplicity of reversal of Roe v. Wade.
Well that settles it. If the GBI says it didn't happen, it absolutely happened. They are garbage. They are a politically driven organization that absolutely does not care about truth, and I figured this out after they brought those ridiculous prosecutions against the guys who shot that disgusting criminal who attacked them.

Reuters is lying garbage. Whatever they say, the truth is the opposite of that. Same thing with NPR, SNOPES and a whole host of garbage sites that just lie.
Washington Post and the New York times are also liars. If you cite any of these sites, you automatically lose the argument.
Amazing how fast the state of Georgia can "produce" a "ballot" when they need to - but not when Garland Favorito of VoterGA wants one.
I'm calling BS on this.
Same crew that stiff-armed Favorito, and Marc Elias was probably involved in "tidying things up" on Andrews' end, splashing a little cash around to the fams to make sure they were all on the same page.
