Fallacious Trump

Happy Holidays!A while ago, especially for our Patrons, we watched convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza's 'documentary' 2000 Mules, which purports to offer evidence that the 2020 election was stolen, using a massive ballot harvesting scheme.You'll be shocked to learn the evidence doesn't hold up to even a small amount of scrutiny.However, a small amount of scrutiny isn't our style, so we instead subjected it to intense scrutiny and provided the most comprehensive fact-check of 2000 Mules on the internet.  Since the movie is basically one long Gish Gallop, and debunking claims takes longer then claiming them, it took a while, so we hope you like long breakdowns of bullshit. This is part one, and part two will be coming your way on New Year's Day.You're welcome/we're sorry. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
