Salem Apologizes Over Book and Film Questioning 2020 Election

Radio broadcaster Salem Media apologized for releasing a film and book questioning the 2020 election results and removed both from all its platforms, Salem said in a news release Friday. The book and film are called 2000 Mules. They're the work of conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza and the organization True the Vote. In the release, Salem said it relied on representations from D’Souza and TTV that a Georgia private citizen named Mark Andrews illegally deposited ballots during the election. “We have learned that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has cleared Mr. Andrews of illegal voting activity in connection with the event depicted in 2000 Mules,” said the release. “We apologize for the hurt the inclusion of Mr. Andrews’ image in the movie, book, and promotional materials have caused Mr. Andrews and his family.”
