During a Monday appearance on David Brody’s Real America’s Voice show The Water Cooler, Oz committed the cardinal sin of both admitting he hasn’t seen Dinesh D’Souza’s misinformation-filled “documentary” 2000 Mulesand refusing to use the words “rigged” or “stolen” when referring to the 2020 election.
