Ann Coulter Slams ‘2000 Mules’ After Dinesh D’Souza Admits False Claims: ‘Never Trust Them Again’

Far-right author Ann Coulter expressed outrage this week after pro-Trump documentary filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza apologized for the false claims made in his controversial election fraud film 2000 Mules, admitting that the information he used was inaccurate.

“Please think back to all the people who told you to watch Dinesh’s ‘2000 Mules,’ and NEVER TRUST THEM AGAIN,” Coulter posted on X. 2000 Mules was promoted as a documentary exposing widespread election fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The film relied heavily on the claims of the voter suppression group True the Vote, which alleged that geolocation data showed individuals illegally harvesting ballots and dropping them off at multiple ballot drop boxes.

However, numerous flaws were later discovered in the data, including the fact that it didn’t conclusively prove anyone was actually dropping off ballots or that any actions were unlawful. D’Souza’s publisher was forced to retract some of the film’s claims, and D’Souza faced a defamation lawsuit from a Georgia voter who was falsely accused of being one of the “mules.”

This week, D’Souza admitted the film was based on false information. “We were assured that the surveillance videos had been linked to geolocation cell phone data, such that each video depicted an individual who had made at least 10 visits to drop boxes,” D’Souza wrote. “Indeed, it is clear from the interviews within the film itself that True the Vote was correlating the videos to geolocation data.

We recently learned that surveillance videos used in the film may not have actually been correlated with the geolocation data.” Coulter, who has become increasingly disillusioned with the MAGA movement’s competence in recent years despite supporting many of its core values, had criticized 2000 Mules even before D’Souza’s admission.

In 2022, she remarked, “Is there anyone in Trump World who isn’t trying to fleece the Deplorables? Haven’t they suffered enough?” Coulter’s remarks reflect broader frustration among some conservative voices over the misinformation spread within the MAGA movement and the harm it has caused.
