These are all things that even D’Souza later admitted don’t actually don’t prove anything.
#DMESH DSOUSA BOOK FACT CHECK PROFESSIONAL#
And despite the repeated claims by the “experts” that they’ve tracked literally thousands of vote-dropping “mules”-not a single one of these supposed professional voter fraud foot soldiers is shown on screen making more than one drop. Video clips of people dropping off a few ballots are presented as unimpeachable evidence of voter fraud, even though dropping ballots for family members was also common. Surveillance footage of people taking selfies after dropping their votes in dropboxes is presented as “A-ha!” evidence-while ignoring the fact that people taking voter selfies was a mundanely common thing to do in 2020 (and for quite a few years prior). The film’s intended audience will see a rational “just asking questions” kinda guy (D’Souza) talking with some ideological allies (like Charlie Kirk, Dennis Prager, Sebastian Gorka, and Larry Elder) who are merely concerned about voter integrity in the America they love.īut the bulk of the film consists of D’Souza’s highly dramatized explainer sessions with a couple of technological “experts” (also credited as executive producers) whose claims that they’ve used geotracking data to uncover thousands of vote-harvesting mules fall apart under the barest of scrutiny. The new documentary 2000 Mules (a Dinesh D’Souza Joint), is barely more credible than your average rando conspiracy theory video on YouTube, but its production values attach to it a superficial seriousness. And they believed this incoherent charlatan. Trump had already falsely claimed a conspiracy of voter fraud in 2016 (the election he actually won), and then again for the entire 2020 presidential cycle when he blathered about unnamed forces conspiring to steal the election from him.īoth times he sent the implicit message to his supporters: No election result is valid unless I win. It’s tragic that this democracy-threatening hoax was perpetrated by a known compulsive liar-a corrupt businessman from a privileged upbringing, infamous for stiffing his working-class contractors. It was the excuse to break the previously sacrosanct American tradition of a peaceful transfer of power. It’s poisoned the minds of millions of Americans-very likely permanently-into believing our elections can’t be trusted (unless Republicans win).
There are a lot of reasons that Donald Trump’s Big Lie about voter fraud in the 2020 election is among the most despicable political acts in U.S.
