CAMDEN — Nearly every one of the approximately 40 people who turned out Tuesday night to watch a movie — that claims that massive voter fraud led to the 2020 presidential election being stolen from Donald Trump — said they believe the election was stolen.
The Knox County Republicans held a screening July 19 in a commercial building in Camden owned by Michael Mullins of the movie “2000 Mules.”
The nearly 90-minute movie was directed by conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza. In 2014, D’Souza pleaded guilty to allegations that he made illegal contributions to a U.S. Senate campaign and was sentenced to five years’ probation for committing campaign finance fraud. Trump gave D’Souza a presidential pardon in 2018.
After the movie, Knox County Republican Committee Chair Victoria Bucklin asked the people in attendance whether they believe the election was stolen and nearly every hand was raised.
One of the people in attendance was Roger Tranfaglia of Rockland who is seeking the Maine House District 42 seat now held by Democratic Rep. Valli Geiger. The seat represents Rockland and part of Owls Head in the Legislature.
Emails were sent Sunday, July 17 to each Republican legislative candidate in Knox County asking if they believe in the claim that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. None have responded as of Wednesday morning July 20.
