Mike Lindell claims $100 million in financial losses after election shenanigans [1] ['Daily Kos Staff', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-01-19 It’s that time. Time to talk about Mr. MyPillow himself, Mike Lindell. The Big Liar election fraud denier continues his hustle to retain relevance in the conservative movement by running for the chairperson position of the Republican National Committee. With that election coming up next week, Lindell got himself an interview with WCCO, CBS Minnesota. In the interview with Esme Murphy, Lindell explained that he believes the divisiveness in the Republican Party will create a space for him to win an election and become the next chair of the RNC. But even if that isn’t the case, “I have hundreds of millions of people, people out there, the stuff that I‘m doing,” he says. Did that make sense? Not exactly, but who cares! Murphy brings up the Dominion Voting Systems legal complaint against Lindell that includes the accusation that Lindell profited off of his Big Lie: “MyPillow’s defamatory marketing campaign—with promo codes like ‘FightforTrump,’ ’45,′ ‘Proof,’ and ‘QAnon’—has increased MyPillow sales by 30-40% and continues duping people into redirecting their election-lie outrage into pillow purchases.” Lindell, like the rest of the MAGA party, has cried about being persecuted before for his promotion of election fraud claims. None of this is true, says Lindell. The opposite is true, according to the MyPillow CEO: “Now let me tell you the facts about MyPillow. When I tried to get this out to the people, MyPillow lost $100 million in retailers. We are not up 30-40% — we are down. We are down. I had to borrow money, Esme!” It wouldn’t be an interview with a conservative running for a position of power in the Republican Party without some whining.
