This "movie" was totally based on lies from the True the Vote assholes. Both D'Souza and the True the Vote assholes were sued and lost these lawsuits which is the reason for this statement

(17,604 posts)..... and an attempt to dismantle and destroy American Democracy with lies and deceit. Fraudulently claiming a fair and free election was fraudulent when you know that was categorically untrue.
Lie and cheat to achieve their fascistic agendas.

(3,687 posts)He said "We recently learned that surveillance videos used in the film may not have actually been correlated with the geolocation data". Recently learned my ass. The very first people who viewed the film who were not MAGA cult members pointed out right away that the whole thing was Bull Shit. He knew when he was making the movie it was all a pack of lies. D'Souza didn't give a damn.
And all he apologized for was misrepresenting Mark Andrews in the movie. He sort of backhandedly admits that it was all bull shit, but doesn't apologize for that. All he cared about was creating propaganda for the MAGA cult and it worked beautifully. Over the past few years, I've seen dozens of videos featuring liberals interviewing MAGAs outside Trump rallies, and anytime the 2020 election was brought up, the people always brought up this movie as proof the election was stolen. He only apologized now to avoid getting sued by Andrews for defamation. I wonder how much he paid off Andrews to settle? Hopefully it was in the millions.

They were wrong. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on a written apology from right-wing commentator Dinesh DSouza, who was responsible for making the documentary.
The producer of a documentary that falsely accused a metro Atlanta man of committing election fraud during the 2020 election has issued an apology saying his depiction was based on inaccurate information. ... I make this apology not under the terms of a settlement agreement or other duress, but because it is the right thing to do, given what we have now learned, DSouza wrote on his website over the weekend.
If this sounds at all familiar, the developments come roughly six months after NBC News reported that 2000 Mules was pulled by the publisher, Salem Media Group, and the company issued a public apology to a Georgia man who is suing the author and publisher on defamation claims after he was accused of ballot stuffing.
To be sure, brutal criticisms of the movie are not altogether new. The New York Times characterized the film as a Big Lie in a New Package, noting that even some on the right expressed discomfort with the project and its conclusions. The Associated Press said the film is burdened by gaping holes; analyses published by The Washington Post characterized its findings as dishonest and misleading; The Daily Beast said the movie is stupid; and The Bulwark found it to be so bad that its unintentionally hilarious.
