"When Dinesh D’Souza’s movie 2,000 Mules arrived on the scene in 2022, it was an immediate MAGA smash—a 'masterpiece of meeting market demand,' as WaPo’s Philip Bump put it earlier this year. ...

Now its distributors are retracting it."

"The movie’s claims were immediately debunked as so patently absurd that even Fox News wouldn’t cover them. That did not stop Trump from airing the film at Mar-a-Lago and touting it as proof that he’d rightfully won the presidency in 2020. And in his bid to keep his bar license in DC, Rudy Giuliani even cited the movie as evidence that his election fraud claims were true. (Spoiler Alert: LOL.)"

"The producer of the Dinesh D’Souza 2020 election conspiracy film '2,000 Mules' will cease its distribution and remove it from its platforms apparently as part of a settlement of a defamation lawsuit brought by a Georgia man whom the film falsely depicts as illegally voting."

~ David Kurtz

Because the film's a pack of lies, and given the chance to defend those lies, True the Vote ran and hid.

We all knew this, of course but #TrueTheVote had *nothing* - no evidence of voter fraud whatsoever.

Yet #Trump harped on about them so much, ~40% of America *to this day* believes that there was voter fraud in the 2020 election.

We have internalised the maxim "there's no smoke without fire" and it's utter bollocks. I never want to hear that phrase again.

The conspiracy-peddling nonprofit made loans to founder Catherine Engelbrecht and issued contracts to longtime director Gregg Phillips that may have violated state and federal law, a watchdog complaint filed with the IRS alleges.

Promoters of Election Lies Also Hyped a Hospital for Ukraine.

That Never Happened Either.

True the Vote, a group that spread discredited election conspiracy theories, “abandoned” The Freedom Hospital in April 2022, according to its lawyers. Yet board member Gregg Phillips continued to seek donations for the project for months afterward.
