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.
