MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell labeled the media evil for coverage of his remarks at a White House coronavirus press briefing with President Donald Trump.
Appearing on Lou Dobbs show on Fox Business Tuesday night, the Bible-quoting executive tore into MSNBC host Chris Hayes, CNNs Jim Acosta and journalists as a whole.
Hayes had commented that Trumps daily coronavirus press briefings were counterproductive and dangerous from a public health perspective because of the presidents falsehoods and failure to embrace science. The cable host suggested that Trump, by calling on private company executives such as Lindell, was detracting further from the credibility of those briefings.
CNNs Acosta had similar sentiments, suggesting that presidential briefings about a global pandemic should feature more medical experts and fewer business representatives touting their companies and praising Trump.

It's a thing in some quarters now I guess.

(2,336 posts)This sort of thing doesn't seem wise in his situation. Doesn't take a whole lot to push an addict right back to using. This is not a fight he's going to win. Rumor is Trump wants him to run for some office -- what a hoot. It'll probably happen because it's just so stupid

(63,221 posts)Not that there is anything wrong with that. But then he got RELIGION and became an insufferable sober prick ever since.
He is still just as corrupt, greedy, mendacious and phony as he was as an addict, except that now he has found a group of adoring sycophants who will follow him and Trump to the gates of hell.
He, like Trump, has a messiah complex, which is why they are both in such admiration of each other. They see themselves as gods and saviors and will never be convinced otherwise.

Ive been more impressed by the creative mask-making techniques that Ive seen on the internet lately!
I dont need to see the person bragging how the mask was Made in America either. Id probably stop watching the video the second that came out of their mouth!
