Pro-Trump conspiracy theorist and prominent pillow salesman Mike Lindell continues to peddle debunked delusions that the 2020 election was "stolen" from former President Donald Trump by Democrats and complicit Republican governors like Brian Kemp of Georgia and Doug Ducey of Arizona.

In remarks on white nationalist and former Trump official Steve Bannon's radio show, Lindell vowed to confront the governors at the three day Republican Governors Association (RGA) meeting in Nashville, Tennessee.


Lindell told Bannon:

"I hope I get [Kemp] one-on-one tonight, him and Doug, and be able to say, 'Why, why would you do this to America?'"

Kemp and a number of Republican Georgia election officials were major targets of Trump's election lies, with Trump tweeting they were "disasters for Georgia" and would "hopefully see the light." Trump urged Georgia's Republican Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, to "find" the exact number of votes needed for him to win the state, which went blue in a presidential election for the first time since 1992.

Lindell did show up to the RGA, whose meetings he had attended before, but was reportedly thrown out of the event, according to right-wing media personality Todd Starnes.

An RGA official who spoke to Politico on the condition of anonymity said:

"These events are for RGA members, and Mike Lindell is not currently an RGA member."

Lindell was met with further ridicule in response to the development.






But some of Lindell's fellow conspiracy theorists were dismayed.



These conspiracy theories likely won't subside any time soon.

The cult-favorite horror-comedy follows a meek flower shop worker whose ambitions take a deadly turn when his unusual plant develops an appetite for human flesh. South Grand Prairie High School senior Ana Mota, 17, earned the role of Seymour after four days of auditions.

That's according to Trejo's son, who says his dad was duped by Shapiro (and, from the sounds of it, his own management) into appearing in a pro-ICE movie called Pawn Shop that Shapiro is producing.

MTG Brutally Rips Trump Administration's 'Bullsh*t' Move To Try To Deport Ilhan Omar After Raid

On Monday, Markwayne Mullin's Department of Homeland Security agents searched the Washington D.C. home of Minnesota Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar under the direction of the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump. Representative Omar has been a vocal critic of Trump's overreach and illicit activities since his first term as President.

As a woman, a Muslim, a BIPOC, and a naturalized citizen who came to the United States as a child refugee of the war in Somalia, Representative Omar has been a favorite target of the racist, misogynist, White supremacist, Christian nationalist MAGA movement. She's endured repeatedly debunked lies about her background and verbal attacks, including from Trump, and physical assaults.

Supercut Of White House Press Secretary Repeatedly Calling Herself A Lawyer Goes Viral After It's Revealed She Failed Bar Exam

So there's yet another new press secretary at the White House, a Trump Administration post that has hosted some of the right's biggest and brightest lunatics.

But none of them hold a candle to Katie Zacharia, who could barely get out a sentence at her first briefing and claims to be a "lawyer" despite, well, not being. Zacharia has taken her fib so far that she claimed to the press she took the bar in China—which is not a thing.
