Conservative provocateur Dinesh D'Souza's book version '2,000 Mules' was pulled from shelves over an unspecific 'publishing error.' NPR got a copy and found no production errors but did find many misleading claims regarding the 2020 election.
Despite those flaws,"2,000 Mules" has emerged as a leading theory for supporters of Trump's baseless claim that he actually won the 2020 election. For Trump and some of his most diehard fans - among them candidates for public office - the project has served as"proof" of the stolen election.
One group, whose data are cited in the book, said it would request a correction. Another raised the possibility of legal action.organization called True the Vote, and the activists Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips. Both Engelbrecht and Phillips are credited as executive producers of the film. In a statement to NPR, the group distanced itself from the book.
"We will be happy to talk to you more about '2000 Mules' once it is published, but we are not commenting on questions about a recalled book," said Thomas Spence, Regnery's president and publisher, in an email.Despite the publisher's recall, NPR was able to find a copy of"2,000 Mules" at a Barnes & Noble bookstore.
Khondoker said the allegations in D'Souza's book"can be viewed as libelous," and noted that neither True The Vote nor D'Souza contacted the New Georgia Project for comment - a fundamental step for any journalistic or documentary project. "We would hope anyone looking at his nonsense can quickly see that these claims are false and designed to gin up those who persist in peddling the Big Lie about the 2020 election," said the NEA spokesperson.
The film also claimed that True the Vote used data from the nonprofit Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project to show that the ballot"mules" were leftist agitators. A spokesperson for ACLED told NPR in May,"This is not the type of analysis you can use ACLED data for, and it is highly unlikely that these conclusions have any basis in fact.
