Dinesh D’Souza Admits ‘2000 Mules’ Might Be A Tiny Bit Completely Wrong

Via Wonkette’s Gary Legum:

Over the weekend, “documentary” “filmmaker” Dinesh D’Souza finally admitted what has been obvious to the rest of us for years: 2000 Mules, his 2022 propaganda filmstrip alleging massive voter fraud in the 2020 election, was a whole bunch of bullshit.Of course anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together already knew this, but the “more than two brain cells to rub together” portion of the population excludes pretty much every MAGA loyalist, mountebank, toady, boot-licker, flunky, suck-up, sycophant, yes-man, lapdog, and lickspittle in the known and unknown universe.

D’Souza, a man whose judgment in all matters should have been forever disregarded the moment he and Laura Ingraham started dating each other on purpose 40 years ago, made the confession in a statement on his website. The whole thing is a hilarious jumble of finger-pointing at the people who provided the data that was supposed to prove his central point, mixed with all manner of defensive statements claiming the central premise of the film is still true. (It’s not, it never was, please go back to shilling fake Christmas trees, fewer of us will ever see the commercials and be reminded of your pathetic existence.)“2000 Mules” was based on cell phone geolocation data collected and reviewed by True the Vote. An analysis of this data revealed highly suspicious patterns of certain cell phones, which were recorded in the location of ten or more dropboxes. This data was the premise of the film.

True the Vote, you will recall, is the Texas voting rights group that has spent the last decade trying to prove that voter fraud is rampant in American elections. The fact that it has never come anywhere near the universe of proving this allegedly immutable fact has in no way slowed it down.

Isn’t that neat? Voter fraud is True the Vote’s giant whale, and everything worked out fine for Captain Ahab, didn’t it? We don’t know, we only ever read the first couple of pages.
