Dinesh D’Souza has Twitter meltdown over Jan. 6 committee debunking his film – By Alec Regimbal (SFGATE) / June 14, 2022
California conservative pundit Dinesh D’Souza had a Twitter meltdown on Monday after the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riots released footage of former Attorney General Bill Barr mocking a film D’Souza wrote and directed.
That film — “2000 Mules” — is a documentary that purports to show evidence that the 2020 presidential election was stolen by Democrats (the election was not stolen and “2000 Mules” has debunked repeatedly). In the footage released by the House committee, Barr dismisses the movie’s claims as bogus and laughs before he does so.
“The election was not stolen by fraud,” he said. “And I haven’t seen anything since the election that changes my mind on that, including the ‘2000 Mules’ movie.”
In response, D’Souza, who was previously convicted of a felony for campaign finance violations, sent out a barrage of tweets attacking Barr. In one of the most unhinged tweets, D’Souza uses an analogy comparing Barr’s defense of the election’s legitimacy to a small-town sheriff who lets their city get robbed.
