Right-wing filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza accused Tucker Carlson and Newsmax on Monday of suppressing any mention of his new conspiracy theory film 2,000 Mules.
D’Souza wrote on Twitter, “I’m sorry to say Tucker Carlson and his team specifically instructed Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote NOT to mention the movie.” The controversial pundit and filmmaker also tagged Justin Wells, the executive producer of Tucker Carlson Tonight, one of Fox News’ highest-rated shows, in the tweet.

Update: Like Fox News, Newsmax is taking a dive on #2000Mules also. No current stories listed.

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?
