Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow and former President Donald Trump's biggest fan, just threw Florida Governor Ron DeSantis under the bus on his streaming show, Frank Speech—The Lindell Report.
Lindell has been incredibly enthusiastic about spreading Trump's lies about the 2020 election being rigged, and it seems he's moved on to claiming the same of other elections too.
Lindell said DeSantis winning re-election was a "deviation."
"What we’re doing now is I’m going after [Miami-] Dade County and the 2022 election."
Lindell claimed DeSantis couldn't have possibly won the election by as much as he did.
"I look at deviations, everybody. That’s a deviation. I don’t believe it."
"I’m going to find out if [Miami-] Dade County—what happened there because it’s a deviation from norm."
\u201cConspiracy theorist Mike Lindell says he is going to Florida to audit Governor Ron DeSantis' (R) historic re-election victory because there is no way DeSantis did as amazing as he did. \u201d— Ryan Saavedra (@Ryan Saavedra) 1671589037
Twitter users found the whole situation rather ridiculous.
\u201c@MarinaMedvin Absolute clown show, for sure\u201d— Ryan Saavedra (@Ryan Saavedra) 1671589037
\u201c@RealSaavedra @MarinaMedvin Who needs enemies when you have friends like this.\u201d— Ryan Saavedra (@Ryan Saavedra) 1671589037
\u201c@RealSaavedra Also, I hear @RealMikeLindell will be auditing old record boxes from Wisconsin, Oregon, Hawaii and Massachusetts to understand how President Ronald Reagan (R) won those states in November 1984.\n\n"Deviations."\u201d— Ryan Saavedra (@Ryan Saavedra) 1671589037
\u201c@RealSaavedra @MattWalshBlog What a fall from grace. From prominent conservative to the daily wire calling him a conspiracy theorist.\u201d— Ryan Saavedra (@Ryan Saavedra) 1671589037
\u201c@DarlaShine @RealSaavedra He\u2019s trying to undermine DeSantis for Trump\u2026.very bad move\u201d— Ryan Saavedra (@Ryan Saavedra) 1671589037
\u201c@1123Eth @RealSaavedra Just now, he did that?\u201d— Ryan Saavedra (@Ryan Saavedra) 1671589037
\u201c@Swags_McGee_96 @RealSaavedra Because it\u2019s only about Trump winning\u201d— Ryan Saavedra (@Ryan Saavedra) 1671589037
This is far from the first time Lindell has questioned or outright denied election results and spread conspiracy theories about election equipment.
Dominion Voting Systems filed a defamation suit against Lindell in 2021 for his continued insistence Dominion rigged the 2020 election.
Dominion CEO John Poulos said of the harm done by Lindell's claims:
"Despite repeated warnings and efforts to share the facts with him, Mr. Lindell has continued to maliciously spread false claims about Dominion, each time giving empty assurances that he would come forward with overwhelming proof."
"These claims have caused irreparable harm to Dominion’s good reputation and threatened the safety of our employees and customers."
"Moreover, Mr. Lindell's lies have undermined trust in American democracy and tarnished the hard work of local election officials."
What will be the next thing Lindell latches onto and claims is rigged?
We'll all just have to wait and see.
