MyPillow Guy Loses It as CNN Reporter Tells Him: You Have 'Proof of Nothing'

For a man who claims to have uncovered watertight evidence that the 2020 election was rigged, Mike Lindell sure gets defensive when his theories comes under any kind of questioning.

In his latest embarrassing TV appearance in front of the nation, the MyPillow CEO—who has relentlessly pushed the lie that Donald Trump didn’t lose the election—made a fool of himself trying to defend his theories to CNN’s Drew Griffin.

Lindell presented some meaningless screenshots that he wrongly claimed showed that Chinese hackers switched Trump votes to Biden, but his “evidence” was ridiculed when CNN asked experts to take a look. “We sent this to our own experts,” said Griffin. “He said it doesn’t show any specific actions of any kind, election-related or not, and he said it’s proof of nothing.”

Lindell snapped back: “Oh, so he said it’s nothing, huh? Well he’s wrong, you didn’t hire a cyber expert.” Later in the interview, Lindell lost his temper, shouting at Griffin: “You’re lying!... I’m not wrong! I’ve checked it out! I’ve spent millions! You need to trust me!”

1. I really wonder if we're not seeing the long term brain damage from his crack addiction

I can't, for the life of me, understand how the Mike Lindell we are seeing, now, could ever have built and ran his, one time, very successful company.

It would be interesting to hear from people who have known him, over the years.

Personally, I don't think I would interview him unless I had a taser, right at hand. He looks and acts like he's within nano-seconds of have a total psychotic break. IMHO, of course.

[Iggo]

18. Nope. He's nuts with or without the dope.

[jaxexpat]

24. A personality disorder that sells pillows.

Though, his past self-medicating probably says much about his behavior before and after crack.

[Iggo]

35. As the saying goes...

Sometimes drugs are a problem and sometimes they’re the solution.

[Treefrog]

42. I think you're right.

Bonkers, that one is!

[brewens]

2. "You need to trust me." Maybe if I was looking to score some crack. He obviously has a line on

the good shit.

[marble falls]

21. "You need to trust me.", the thing someone you should not trust, says.

[Aviation Pro]

3. Dumbfuck

Like the three dumbfucks sitting across from me airing their fucking grievances. I switched my seat so my back isn’t to the threat.

[SledDriver]

4. No matter what, he is stuck in his delusion

[Walleye]

5. I'd say he's paid millions to his Coke dealer. His mouth movements are a dead giveaway

[area51]

6. "I've spent millions!"

A fool and his money are soon parted.

I really wish someone could do a psychiatric evaluation of him.

[ProfessorGAC]

41. Probably Not His Money

First, he has nowhere close to what he claims to have. (He lies by a factor of at least 12.)
Second, his company is hemorrhaging cash right now, and that 84% of total value creates some serious cash demand. Revenues down (by his own admission, 1/3rd) and expenses static? Cash flow crunch, defined.
Someone else might be providing the cash. I think it's clear he has doesn't have money to waste.

[Rustyeye77]

7. The guy is wired...probably Coke.

[SKKY]

8. If China had indeed found the ability to change votes in, as Mein Pillow guys states...

...in every state, I can guarantee you there would be way, way more than 1.2 Billions lines of data. I get more lines than that if I run Wire Shark on my home network for a week. I'd bet my CISSP on it.

9. CNN demeans itself every time it gives this delusional man airtime.

[Caliman73]

45. I am not so sure of that.

Framing is important.

This man is one of the chief remaining surrogates for Trump and his irrational "rigged election" claims. He goes on right wing networks and spews his non-sense. It then gets shown in clips on CNN or MSNBC where they critique it, but the garbage is still there. Doing it live on CNN and getting fact checked an put into context right then and there shows how foolish he is. He tries to steamroll with his delusional convictions but he got stopped in his tracks and resorted to "Nananana I can't hear you". People who watch CNN, which are more likely to be average consumers of news, will have seen how stupid he looked.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

46. How many live CNN viewers aren't already aware he's delusional, though?

If CNN as a network really cared about fact-checking, bullshit-spewing Rick Santorum wouldn't have been a paid commentator for so long.

[Maru Kitteh]

47. Other networks pick up and use their footage like ABC, CBS & NBC.

I've seen CNN footage on MSNBC.

The big three still reach millions of seniors every day with evening and morning news.

[BusterMove]

10. Sucks for Mike when even the Gateway Pundit debunks his nonsense.

"we do not have any tangible, verifiable evidence showing votes being switched via a command or intervention from a foreign server. "

[bluestarone]

11. I really look forward to this asshole

Spending all his money on Dominion lawyer fees!!

[Roland99]

12. He'll either be in a mental institution or dead by suicide in a year or two

He’s very unwell

[bucolic_frolic]

13. It's all a marketing game to him

This is the kind of guy who could sell shit. Literally. To millions. And he is.

[packman]

14. "I've spent millions! You need to trust me!"

Of course I trust you. I trust anyone who spends millions.

[malaise]

15. CNN sent his shit to Nine Experts

[keithbvadu2]

23. Mike, present your experts.

Mike, present your experts.

[Celerity]

31. The are double plus super secret, lolol, Q level clearance

[AZ8theist]

16. FUCKING DELUTIONAL PILLOW TURD.

[Takket]

17. dude needs to stay in his line. newsmax, oann, and his own "network"

can't come on cnn and expect it to go well

[Caliman73]

34. It is actually good that he strays out of the bubble.

He is so confident in his delusion that he thinks that he can present information to less completely partisan audiences. I think it is good for him to keep going. It shows that Trump's argument is being carried by people who have completely lost touch with reality.

When your strongest ally is a crack smoking pillow sales man parading up and down, getting debunked by actual experts, then you are on a path to humiliation.

Notice how no Republican politicians seem to go on CNN or other less biased news networks? They know that it won't go well. They are aware enough to the fact that they are peddling bullshit to stay away from networks where they will be questioned and fact checked.

[Totally Tunsie]

19. n/m

[George II]

20. Drew Griffin does such a great job in situations like this. He's relatively soft spoken, polite...

...but never backs off. I can imagine someone being interviewed like that, ripped to shreds (like he did Lindell) and coming out of it thinking "damn, I did great!"

[harumph]

22. And why is CNN giving this insane mf airtime?

[ScratchCat]

26. Thats the only part that scares me

They know what they are doing. They know that by covering something they lend credence to it. Over the past 5 +/- years, the MSM has acted incredibly irresponsible in this arena, i.e. giving legitimacy to nonsense by covering it. Its the exact reason Trump won the GOP nomination and the election. Now, people potentially inclined to believe this nonsense sees a "the libs at a fake news channel" attacking the My Pillow guy. Again, they know what they are doing.

[Iggo]

36. Gotta shine a light on crazy every now and then.

If only for the record.

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. Voting tabulators hacked remotely, California wildfires, Jewish space lasers.

Why is no one talking about this???

[underpants]

28. It's a conspiracy I tells ya

They won’t tell anyone about the horse paste either

[BobTheSubgenius]

33. OMG

As a species, I'm not sure we're qualified to exist.

[Iggo]

37. Some standup comic years ago said we exist because the world needed plastic.

I’m sticking with that.

[BobTheSubgenius]

49. That's a pretty good line.

Grimly funny!

[keithbvadu2]

27. Does Donald have anything to do with Mike anymore?

Does Donald have anything to do with Mike anymore?

Any contact?

[AZLD4Candidate]

29. Pima County. . .here in Arizona? Lindell said the Chinese hacked my county, Pima County?

Give me a break.

32. instead of cutting lines w/ his TrumpCard, Lindell just dumped it on the ground & dove in face first

[Jim__]

38. What are the odds that Lindell's "evidence" fits hand and glove with "evidence" from the ...

... Arizona audit. That would create a lot of noise on the right.

[Darkstar53142]

39. In Pillow Guy's world...

China was able to hack into machines that weren't connected to the internet.

The cognitive dissonance would be laughable if so many didn't believe him.

[Baked Potato]

40. Ha! Ha! Ha! That last pic! 😆 nt

[Vinca]

43. This guy is just completely off his rocker. Aside from the nonsense he continues to emit,

can you imagine any sane human being voluntarily spending millions of dollars of their own money for the benefit of a pussy-grabbing egomaniac? Is there anyone in his family who is sane enough to step in and encourage him to "take a vacation at the nice hospital?"

[Treefrog]

44. This guy so wants tfg to like him.

Wants so much to be the main lapdog.

Scary to watch him.

[progressoid]

48. Another good result from this election is the vast reduction in his stupid ads on TV.

[patricia92243]

50. If he had real proof, Trump would be all over it.
