MyPillow CEO Throws On-Air Tantrum After Retailers Drop His Products Over His Support Of Capitol Riot

MyPillow CEO Throws On-Air Tantrum After Retailers Drop His Products Over His Support Of Capitol Riot
Right Side Broadcasting Network

MyPillow CEO and key Trump supporter Mike Lindell found himself, once again, on the receiving end of some serious public scrutiny. Just days after being photographed at the White House carrying documents that encouraged martial law, Lindell had an on-air meltdown during an interview.

Right Side Broadcasting Network personality Brian Glen had Lindell on his show to discuss the end of Trump's presidency—or, more to their point, how an end to Trump's presidency might be avoided.


Lindell found out retailers were dropping MyPillow products in response to his support of the Capitol riot just moments before the segment, leaving him agitated.

It absolutely spilled over on-air.

Things started with Mike Lindell calling watchdog group Sleeping Giants "the most evil people on the planet." The group encouraged advertisers to stop advertising on far-right programs.

He then went on to claim the group has been hired to attack multiple companies, including his.

First he lamented the loss of Bed Bath & Beyond as a vendor.

"I just got off the phone with Bed Bath & Beyond, they're dropping MyPillow. Just got off the phone not five minutes ago. Kohl's, all these different places."
"They're scared at like a Bed Bath & Beyond, they're scared. We were good partners, in fact I told them 'you guys come back any time you want.' "
"But it's not their fault that they're scared, cause they don't realize these are fake people."

His appeal to business owners trailed off into more Dominion voting machine conspiracy theory.

"If you're a business owner out there, don't believe in those little bots and trolls. This is the evil left. This is the evil, crazy, left deep state or whatever it is."
"This isn't a politician thing of Democrat, Republican. This is what - part of the thing attacking our country. This is the communism coming in basically. And they hired the best to attack us."
"And, and I have friends of mine that, um, they're getting, um, they've been gone after by the 'machine people! These Dominion and these SOS - SAS machines or whatever."
"They're threatening to - or they did, I think? They're going after -but you know what? Ha! That's great!
"I welcome them to come after me because I got all the evidence then we'll finally see it, right?"

The host responded "absolutely."

Mike Lindell then claimed he talks to Trump disavowed attorney Sidney Powell at least twice a day and ramblingly explained their conversations. Most of the 1:48 second clip is sentence fragments and filler words.

Here he is discussing Sidney Powell's "promise."

"She promises she's gonna keep fighting until we, until everybody knows about this. Machine fraud."
"And that other countries took this election from us.
"And that's my promise to everybody, too. There is no way we're- and she, you know she uh - do we get down?"
"Well sure we get down like everyone cause you're, ya know, if, ya know, I'm going, I had to tell Sidney we can't, we live with no fear."
"We only fear the Lord. That's all we can do. And we, ya know, we've done, we keep doing, if there's something else that comes in I do it."

Lindell then claimed he did his own math with his own numbers, which is how he knows the election was fraudulent.

In the final clip, the two men float their idea Donald Trump might remain President beyond Joe Biden's inauguration. Lindell agreed it's possible and offered parting words to that end.

He encouraged everyone to pray for Trump and not to be depressed.

He also claimed the truth would be revealed, the inauguration may be null and void and God didn't come all this way just to lose.

"Yep, yep. I want everyone out there to keep your prayers up for the President. But I will say this: 100% the truth will be revealed."
"And when it is, we don't know what happens then. So, ya know, don't, I don't want everyone out there being so depressed that, OK, what if nothing gets done and this guy just, it's not —that inauguration then would be null and void."
"I mean, it's not even real when it was done under suspicion that when this is revealed—and it will be, I give everyone my promise. It will be."
"We didn't come all this way, and God didn't do all, ya know, fighting all this evil, to lose. This is gonna be amazing."

Twitter found it amazing, alright.






Lindell likely doesn't need to worry much.

As news of retailers dropping MyPillow spread, right-wing figures began encouraging their followers to purchase products directly.

A quick Twitter search shows the movement is doing fairly well.

Trump Roasted After Sharing Quote Praising Him For Winning 'His First Nobel Prize'—And Yeah, Nope

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he published a Truth Social post in which he quoted Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who claimed this year's Nobel Prize in physics is by an extension a win for the Trump administration.

The Nobel Foundation awarded this year's physics prize to John Clarke (UC Berkeley), Michel H. Devoret (Yale and UC Santa Barbara), and John M. Martinis (UC Santa Barbara and Qolab) for “the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit."

CEO predicts society accepts robot death

In 2009, Waymo introduced its first fleet of driverless cars, sleek pods equipped with sensors, AI, and a “Sense, Solve, Go” system designed to navigate roads autonomously without human input. According to the company, its robotaxis now experience 91 percent fewer crashes and 91 percent fewer serious injuries than human drivers over the same distances.

But even as Waymo brags about its spotless stats, co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana is already bracing for the inevitable: the first fatality caused by one of its cars, and she thinks society will accept it.

Prince Harry Had The Perfect Response When Asked If He Can Do An American Accent—And It Was Actually Pretty Good

Americans are fascinated by hearing people from other countries "drop" their accents and emulate an American one.

For example, it's always interesting to see a British or Australian actor in a movie where they're portraying an American character, but while they might veil their natural accent, they sometimes emulate an American accent from a different part of the country than what would make sense for their character.

Democratic Senate Candidate Blasts Trump Administration With Reality Check Over Their Withholding Of SNAP Funding

If you ask pretty much any conservative, they will tell you that the government shutdown and all its blowback is entirely the Democrats' fault.

This includes the cancellation of SNAP benefits, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program previously known as "food stamps," beginning in November, which will cut off access to food to millions of people.
