MyPillow's Mike Lindell is turned away from Republican governors event

The Republican Governors Association on Tuesday threw out Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and a top Trump ally, after he showed up to its spring conference in Tennessee, he told POLITICO in an interview.

Lindell said he had flown to Nashville on Monday to attend the three-day meeting starting on Tuesday, but that only a few minutes after he collected his credential at the JW Marriott Hotel, an event coordinator in the lobby told him he was not allowed at any of the official RGA events.

An RGA official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said on Tuesday night that Lindell tried to join transportation for members only for a dinner at the Tennessee Governor's Mansion and was denied. The person added: “These events are for RGA members, and Mike Lindell is not currently an RGA member.”

Lindell rose to political fame in the last year as he became a top ally of then-President Donald Trump, even speaking at a White House event in the early weeks of the pandemic. Trump called him a friend during that Rose Garden press briefing. After the 2020 election, Lindell became one of the most prominent people touting Trump's falsehoods about a stolen election, and he hosted a feature-length documentary on the One America News Network about the subject.

I've been to the equivalent Democratic event; it generally only requires writing a generous check.

Lindell has reportedly contemplated running for Governor in Minnesota next year.

3. "Lindell rose to political fame"

Is that what we're calling this wackaloon's traveling road show now? And I guess having a psychotic break repeatedly in front of the cameras is now a political event???

4. He's too toxic . .....

for the toxic republican governors.

[dflprincess]

12. Which means he's the most toxic substance on earth

I mean, just how awful do you have to be for the Republican governors to lock the door and pretend they're not home when they see you coming?

5. Are Republican/Nazis pushing Mr. Lindell back to cocaine?

[Mr. Ected]

6. The stench of Mike's brand of shit would cling to the governors

They wouldn't want to be seen or photographed with him. Blows their cover.

But rest assured, they're all cut out of the same cloth. They're all going to channel their inner Mike Lindell as time goes on.

Pillownia has not yet been invited to join the union--or even the Confederacy.

...................

“These events are for RGA members, and Mike Lindell is not currently an RGA member,” the official said.

It’s not immediately clear why Lindell was at the events. However, Politico noted that the CEO had vowed earlier that day to confront Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R), who currently chairs the RGA, and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) with his debunked conspiracy theories of election fraud in the 2020 election.

Politico also noted that the pillow tycoon had attended previous RGA conferences, including one last year where several governors reportedly encouraged him to make a bid for governorship in his home state of Minnesota.

Of course, that was before Lindell made himself the face of MAGAland’s more unhinged attempts to delegitimize the 2020 election on ex-President Donald Trump’s behalf by peddling wild conspiracy theories, over which Lindell is now being sued in a massive $1.3 billion defamation suit.

[ProfessorGAC]

26. Not Sure, But What I Do Know...

...is that the fraud's entire company doesn't begin to cover the award Dominion seeks.
Like, less than 1/9th!
They get a pillow factory & the idiot still owes them over a billion!
And, he still carries the debt.
I wonder if that coke head can spell B-K-O.
