MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell Is Throwing Down Big Money to Fuel Pro-Trump Election Challenges

He says he’s “not just some pillow guy” to be mocked. He knows Trump is the chosen one because he’s familiar with “numbers and charts” and soon even “Trump-haters” will see.

With a month to go until Inauguration Day, Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO and a personal friend and diehard MAGA supporter of Donald Trump, says he’s poured more than a million dollars of his own money into bankrolling efforts to nullify Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 presidential race.

According to Lindell, who served as Minnesota co-chair for Trump’s re-election campaign, he’s been in direct contact this month with pro-Trump attorneys and conservative luminaries like Michael Flynn to talk “all about fraud.” He’s launched his own private “investigations and due diligence” into voting machines. And he is financially backing the post-election work of several legal teams and Trumpist lawyers, including Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, the latter of whom is a former top member of the president’s legal team.

“For Sidney, Lin, and the other legal teams and experts [examining allegations regarding Dominion voting machines], that’s about $650,000 total over the past month, and another $450,000 I put into the rallies in DC and elsewhere, for the ‘March for Trump’ tour and the Jericho March and Prayer Rally,” the MyPillow inventor and TV spokesman told The Daily Beast.

As of Friday, Lindell says he’s convinced the sitting president will get a second term come early 2021, despite the Electoral College confirming President-elect Biden this week.

Which is probably why he's doing this.

Well that and he's basically an infomercial crap-salesman so he and Dolt45 have the same target audience, and he's getting a lot of publicity with MAGA morons with this nonsense.

It's like using a blow torch to patch the Titanic after it hit the iceberg at this point.
