Mike Lindell says he'll use parachutes to deliver pillows to the Freedom Convoy after they got stuck

The MyPillow CEO and Trump acolyte Mike Lindell said he plans to drop pillows to truckers in the Canadian "Freedom Convoy" after his overland shipments were delayed.

The "Freedom Convoy" protests against vaccine mandates and COVID-19 restrictions started in Ottawa on January 28 and have since spread across the country, disrupting services and supply chains.

Lindell, who has backed the anti-vaccination movement, announced Sunday he was sending 12,000 pillows from his Minnesota factory to the "brave truckers" blocking roads near the US-Canada border and Ottawa.

But he told Insider's Cheryl Teh on Wednesday that the ground delivery was delayed as he awaited permission from Canadian authorities.

As everyone knows, traffic always moves more smoothly when the roads are covered with debris from pillows and parachutes.

you attach a parachute to it. But I'm not a Canadian lawyer, so maybe my intuition is wrong.

He drops the pillows without permission. Canada charges him and wants him extradited. The US complies.

Pass the popcorn.

Canada doesn’t want your crappy pillows raining down on them from the sky, Mike.
