During the 2022 midterm elections, in many of the most competitive, high-profile races, Americans rejected election denialism. But it’s also still true that many people have lost trust in our elections. That is because former President Trump and his allies have spent more than two years spreading lies that the 2020 election was “stolen.” Upon its release in May 2022, a film entitled “2000 Mules” became a dangerous new catalyst for spreading lies about that election.

In the latest “Swamp Stories,” Weston analyzes the film — which has been highly effective at spreading election conspiracy theories — and shows why the film is misleading, false, and holds no merit.
