Racism is a disease
Dinesh D’Souza ‘2,000 Mules’ book removed from shelves, contains potentially ‘libelous’ claims
‘It sounds like a bunch of lies committed to paper. And there are legal consequences for doing that,’ an attorney said in response to D’Souza’s claims
D’Souza claimed that his publisher, Regnery, was at fault for the recall and delay, claiming they missed a substantial error in the book.
“Somehow a significant error got missed by the publisher,” he said on Twitter.
The book makes the same arguments D'Souza laid out in his film 2,000 Mules, which claimed that left-wing nonprofits were involved in illegal ballot trafficking and paid "mules" to collect the ballots and stuff drop-boxes with fraudulent votes for Joe Biden.
Former Attorney General under Donald Trump Bill Barr called the claims made in the film “indefensible.”
In the movie, D'Souza refrains from actually naming any of the groups he's accusing of committing voter fraud — he told Megyn Kelly this was done to fast-track the movie's release and avoid lining up the legal defenses he would have inevitably needed after the nonprofits responded — but the book does contain direct allegations against individual groups.
NPR reached out to the named groups to discuss the allegations made against them and to get their responses.
An attorney for the New Georgia Project, one of the groups mentioned, called the allegations against them "malarkey and hogwash" and "conspiracy theories."
Aklima Khondoker, the Chief Legal Officer for the organisation, said the claims D'Souza made in the book "can be viewed as libelous," and noted that they were never asked for comment by D'Souza.
"It sounds like a bunch of lies committed to paper. And there are legal consequences for doing that," the attorney told NPR.
The National Education Association, a labour union also vilified in the book, told the outlet that the allegations made in the book are "trash."
"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," an NEA spokesperson told NPR.
