Filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza is voicing his frustrations today with Tucker Carlson and the conservative cable news channel Newsmax over their coverage, or lack thereof, of his debunked election conspiracy film, โ2000 Mules.โ
D'Souza tweeted this morning, alleging that both Tucker Carlson and Newsmax dictated what Catherine Engelbrecht, who provided research for D'Souza's new film, could and could not say on their air.
Engelbrecht founded True the Vote, an anti-voter fraud group, in 2009.
As Newsweek reports:
D'Souza also accusedย Newsmaxย of โblocking coverageโ of the film.
The film alleges thatย widespread voter fraudย took place during the 2020 presidential election, something that Trump and some of his closest allies have continued to say since he left office more than a year ago. However, many organizations have debunked the claims and theย Department of Homeland Securityย called the 2020 presidential election โthe most secure in American history.โ
The documentary, which was released last week, claims โmules,โ paid or unpaid political operatives, placed ballots in multiple vote drop boxes, which were used to make voting easier during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Neither Fox News nor Newsmax has responded to requests for comment.
