At one level, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was only a man attempting to promote individuals utilizing actually bizarre commercials. After which he took his pillow trailer and hitched it on President Trump’s wagon and properly, let’s simply say that Lindell is that this month’s apparent winner of the FAFO award.
For the uninitiated, the FAFO award is given to those that went all in on a dictator solely to study that what they thought they have been getting isn’t what they’ve received.
Months after Trump misplaced the 2020 election, Lindell would inform anybody who would hear that voting machines have been fastened to steal the election. He even launched his “‘Show Mike Mistaken Problem,’ as a part of a ‘Cyber Symposium’ he hosted in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in August 2021, AP notes.
He even went as far as to supply a “$5 million reward by way of Lindell Administration for anybody who might show that “packet captures” and different information he launched there weren’t legitimate information ‘from the November 2020 election,’” based on AP.
I don’t know if Robert Zeidman is a drinker however I do know that he requested somebody to carry his beer as he took on Lindell’s problem and created a 15-page report that discovered that Lindell’s information didn’t “comprise packet information of any variety and don’t comprise any info associated to the November 2020 election,” AP experiences.
However right here’s the rub: the competition actually wished to award somebody who proved Lindell proper and when Zeidman had unequivocal proof that the Pillow Man’s bogus claims have been in actual fact false, they refused to reward him the cash.
Zeidman filed a lawsuit and a decide discovered that Lindell wanted to pay the person his cash plus curiosity.
Oh and about these voting machines that Lindell claimed have been rigged, a few of them are owned by Dominion Voting Programs and so they filed a defamation swimsuit in opposition to Lindell for a staggering $1.3 billion. That’s not all, the opposite voting machines are owned by an organization referred to as Smartmatic and so they’ve filed a separate defamation lawsuit in opposition to Lindell.
Life comes at you quick.
Now the CEO of MyPillow is crying in it.

“I’ve nothing to cover,” Lindell mentioned.
However that isn’t fairly true contemplating he was held in contempt of court docket final month “for failing at hand over monetary paperwork and different discovery materials within the defamation lawsuit introduced by Smartmatic,” the Impartial experiences.
“We haven’t held again something. That is all corruption,” Lindell beforehand advised The Impartial. “They need me to cease speaking about our election platforms. They’re not going to silence me.
