Salem Media Group, publisher of the film and book “2000 Mules,” on Friday apologized to a metro Atlanta man who was falsely accused of voting fraud in the film. The voter, Mark Andrews, filed a defamation lawsuit against Salem and the film’s producers in 2022.
By David Wickert, The Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionFILE - An election worker places a ballot in a counted bin during a hand recount of Presidential votes on Sunday, Nov. 15, 2020 in Marietta, Ga.
The film showed Andrews – face blurred – depositing five ballots in a drop box before the 2020 presidential election. “What you are seeing is a crime,” narrator Dinesh D’Souza, the film’s producer, says.” These are fraudulent votes.” In court documents, Salem and the other defendants sought to have the lawsuit dismissed. Among other things, they said Andrews was not identified in the film. But on Friday Salem apologized and said it would no longer distribute the film or the book.
