MyPillow CEO and vocal Trump supporter Mike Lindell has been one of the most frequent purveyors of former President Donald Trump's lies about the integrity of the 2020 presidential election.

Over two weeks after President Joe Biden's election, Lindell continues to spout the delusional fantasy that Trump is the genuine winner. A common target of his disinformation is Dominion Voting Systems, the election software company that Trump and other conspiracy theorists accused of working with Democrats to switch millions of Trump votes to Biden votes.

As a number of media outlets face litigation or the threat of it from Dominion, Lindell has found it harder to spew his delusions to an audience.

He was recently admonished on the pro-Trump Newsmax channel for repeating the Dominion lies.

Now—after weeks of claiming to have irrefutable proof of election fraud orchestrated by Dominion and Democrats—Lindell has released a documentary that he falsely claims will vindicate his absurd assertions.

The documentary played on the far-right One America News network for 12 hours straight—but it was preceded with one mammoth of a disclaimer.

Listen below.

The disclaimer emphasizes that Lindell paid for the airtime and that:

"Mr. Lindell is the sole author and executive producer of this program and is solely and exclusively responsible for its content. ... This program is not the product of OAN's reporting."

It continues with an attempt at justifying the broadcast of Lindell's lies:

"The results in the 2020 Presidential election remain disputed and questioned by millions of Americans who are entitled to hear from all sides in order to help determine what may have happened."

Twitter mocked Lindell for the major caveat added to his documentary.



OAN wasn't spared from backlash either.







Lindell's documentary did not result in any information corroborating the baseless claims of widespread election fraud.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
