Mike Lindell Announces He's 'Back On Twitter' Only To Have New Account Immediately Suspended

Mike Lindell Announces He's 'Back On Twitter' Only To Have New Account Immediately Suspended

MyPillow CEO and noted conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell's attempt to circumvent his "permanent" ban on Twitter was upended almost immediately after he managed to make an account and posted a video announcing his return to the social media platform.

Twitter users reported Lindell, citing Twitter's ban evasion policy which prohibits those who use the platform from circumventing bans “including through the creation of new accounts.”


Lindell believed he might be able to remain on Twitter now that billionaire and self proclaimed free speech advocate Elon Musk was acquiring the platform.

You can hear what Lindell said in the video below.

Lindell said:

"Hello Twitter, this is Mike Lindell. I'm here to tell you about my new account here, @mikejlindell... that's the only account over here at Twitter that I'm using."
"All those other accounts are fake accounts and they've been using my name out there so we started this account."
“Please share with everybody you know, let everybody you know, so we can get the word out at Twitter in case they do take it down."
"Thanks a lot for helping out."

Twitter permanently banned Lindell in January 2021 for continuing to promote the unfounded conspiracy that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 general election.

Twitter said Lindell had violated their civic integrity policy, which was crafted in response to election disinformation on the platform.

His latest antics exposed him to significant mockery from other Twitter users.




Lindell attracted considerable attention when he held a three-day "Cyber Symposium" he billed as an arena in which he would unveil definitive proof the 2020 election was stolen. Instead, it crashed and burned when he failed to produce any evidence of fraud.

Lindell also made headlines during his own event when he dashed off stage after news outlets reported a judge allowed a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit filed against him by Dominion to proceed.

In February, Dominion sued Lindell for $1.3 billion, arguing Lindell defamed the company by promoting the baseless conspiracy theory falsely claiming Dominion conspired with foreign powers to rig voting machines to stop former President Trump from winning the 2020 election.

The company seeks more than $651 million in punitive damages as well as a further $651.7 million in compensation from Lindell.

Dominion's claim is about four times MyPillow's annual revenue.

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.
