    Mike Lindell Reveals MyPillow Has Lost $100M as He Auctions Off Equipment

    Mike Lindell has claimed the company "lost $100 million" after major
    retailers stopped stocking its products in response to his vocal support
    for the discredited conspiracy theory that the 2020 presidential election
    was stolen from Donald Trump.

    Due to its difficult financial situation, the company is currently selling hundreds of pieces of surplus equipment on the online auction site K-Bid,
    and subleasing manufacturing space.

    Trump is continuing to insist the 2020 presidential contest was rigged
    against him, despite the claim being repeatedly rejected in court and by independent and even Republican-leaning legal experts. Special Counsel
    Jack Smith is investigating whether Trump broke the law in his bid to
    overturn the election, including his role in the January 6, 2021, storming
    of Congress by Trump supporters.

    Speaking to the Minnesota-based newspaper Star Tribune, Lindell said
    MyPillow was hit with a "massive, massive cancellation" after his election fraud claims.


    "We lost $100 million from attacks by the box stores, the shopping
    networks, the shopping channels, all of them did cancel culture on us," he said.

    Newsweek reached out to MyPillow and Mike Lindell via the contact form on
    the official MyPillow website for comment.

    Lindell provided financial backing for legal efforts to reverse the 2020 election outcome and the MyPillow logo was included on TrumpMarch.com, a website promoting the January 6 rally that led to the riot at the U.S.
    Capitol.

    MyPillow was later dropped by a number of major retailers, including Bed
    Bath & Beyond and Kohl's.

    In response, Lindell told Star Tribune that MyPillow had shifted its focus
    to direct sales via television and email marketing and is subleasing some
    of its former manufacturing space in Shakopee, Minnesota.

    "We kind of needed a building and a half, but now with these moves we're making, we can get it down to our one building," he said.

    Some 854 pieces of equipment are currently being sold by MyPillow on K-
    Bid, ranging from vans and forklifts to sewing machines and flat boxes.
    Lindell told the newspaper that the equipment will need to be replaced if
    the major retailers "ever come back."

    Dominion Voting Systems is suing Lindell and a number of other Trump
    allies for $1.3 billion in response to unfounded claims that polling
    machines produced by the company were involved in rigging the 2020
    election. Lindell has denied any wrongdoing.
    ADVERTISING

    In April, Fox agreed to pay Dominion $787.5 million to settle a defamation lawsuit caused by Fox News hosts and guests baselessly accusing the
    company of working to rig the election against Trump.

    Responding to the verdict, Dominion attorney Justin Nelson said: "People
    across the political spectrum can and should disagree on issues, even of
    the most profound importance. But for our democracy to endure another 250
    years and hopefully much longer, we must share a commitment to facts."

    Oh, wah wah wahhhhh! Right-wingnuts are more than happy to boycott Disney and Bud Light, but when it happens to their fellow insurrectionists, they start shrieking and screaming.

    Rightists are such losers. They even unequivocaly support the pro-slavery losing side in the civil war against the USA.

    Let's hope they declare war on us again so they can finally be exterminated like insects.

    All true.

    On a lighter note, is anyone up to date on when/where this auction is being held? I saw a video recently where they said that you could get a "professional grade pillow rolling machine" for $5. I have no idea what
    such a machine is, but it looked cool in the video. I wouldn't mind
    dropping 5 bucks just to have one laying around my house.

    Similarly, Trump believes that if *he* praises Putin enough, he'll get to *be* Putin.
