Dinesh D’Souza accuses Newsmax of censorship over ‘2000 Mules’

"BTW @newsmax is also blocking coverage of '2000 Mules.' I was booked on Grant Stinchfield's Newsmax show and then the network cancelled on me. Criticize the move if you like, but why isn't this a legitimate news story? How can so-called news networks pretend it doesn’t exist?" D'Douza asked on Twitter.

Responding directly to D'Souza, Newsmax noted that the outlet has covered the documentary, including airing its trailer "dozens of times," airing comments made by President Donald Trump regarding it, and featuring it in an episode of their daily podcast.

Nearly 12 hours after D'Souza posted his tweet, Newsmax reposted an April 30 interview with D'Souza on the Newsmax Daily Rob Carson Show, in which they discuss the then-soon to be released film. The film alleges that "mules" dropped off large numbers of ballots at drop boxes, wearing gloves and stopping at numerous ballot boxes.

In response to Newsmax's post, numerous Twitter users commented, questioning why the outlet had dropped the interview with D'Souza.

Newsmax also said in response to D'Souza's tweet that "We've allowed the for-profit '2000 Mules' to run their ads on @Newsmax. We've extensively covered the 2020 election, its results, and President Trump's challenges to the race."

In response to Newsmax's reply, D'Souza said: "Look guys. I like Newsmax. I've appeared frequently on your various shows. But is this an adequate explanation of why you aren't having me on to talk about this movie? Do you not consider the biggest topic on your audience's mind to be a legitimate story?"

D’Souza's documentary dropped earlier this month, appearing in select theaters for two days and airing on the YouTube video platform alternative Rumble. It premiered in an event at Trump's Mar-a Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla.
