SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — MyPillow chief executive Mike Lindell says he was attacked in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on Wednesday night.

Lindell told attendees Thursday morning at an election fraud symposium that he’s hosting in the city that he was attacked at his hotel, the Sioux Falls Argus Leader reported. Lindell said he was in pain and he wants everyone to know about the evil in the world. He didn’t go into details about the incident.

Police spokesman Sam Clemens said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press that officers took a report Thursday morning of an assault in a hotel located near the symposium. He said the assault allegedly took place at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday. No one was taken to a hospital, Clemens said.

Clemens declined to identify the victim, citing Marsy’s Law, a state constitutional amendment that protects crime victims. He also declined to release the report, saying police reports are confidential under state law and declined further comment, citing an ongoing investigation.

From Huffpost:

The “antifa” attack was actually a guy posing with him for a selfie who “put his arm around and stuck his finger, it was so much pressure,” Lindell explained.

4. Pants on Fire!!!!

[RussBLib]

5. Antifa stole my stuff!

That's what I read in another story on this.

If the Pillow Fool didn't have a backup copy of his "stuff" he's an even bigger idiot than I figured.

[colsohlibgal]

6. Maybe It Happened Maybe It Didn't

No doubt he is messed up in the head though.....this is your brain on OAN.

[paleotn]

7. If it did happen...

then it was a half ass job.....um, never mind. I'm sure I'll get in trouble for voicing what I'm thinking.

[videohead5]

8. How totally unbelievable

The attack supposedly happened Wednesday night and he did not report it until the next morning. If someone had attacked me I would've not waited until the next morning to report it.

32. It took a while to develop the story.

It took a while to develop the story.

Probably took a poll to see if it would help the expose.

9. Whackjob Asshole

Is being whackjob asshole and gets punched in face?

Impossible!

[marble falls]

10. "By two guys who jumped out of an ambulance wearing white medical uniforms and ...

... carrying a large net and a syringe of sedative."

[viva la]

41. "By Dominion lawsuit!"

It beat him to a pulp!

[Bayard]

59. Seriously?

A large net for a pretty fishy guy! They forgot the straightjacket.

[marble falls]

60. Ya gotta net 'em or dart 'em before you can get a jacket on 'em. Believe me, I know ...

... don't ask me how!

[tikka]

11. "The dog ate my homework" is never believable

[smb]

13. "The Dog Ate My Packets" nt

[Warpy]

12. Only two words for this character and his wild claims: "Prove it."

I'd never attack anybody like this. He's got what appears to be some very longstanding mental health problems. He needs help.

[robertpaulsen]

14. "Attacked me ... and STOLE MY EVIDENCE! Yeah, that's the ticket!"

[BumRushDaShow]

15. "an assault in a hotel located near the symposium"

Pretty much every hotel in existence has fisheye cameras everywhere.

Looking on a map of that intersection, it is near the city's Convention Center and there appear to be 3 hotels right around there - a Sheraton (at the Convention Center), a Ramada Inn (across the street from the Convention Center) and a "Sioux Falls Inn" about a diagonal block away from the Convention Center.

[TheRealNorth]

16. What type of real American is he....

He let a bunch of soy boys push him around? Was he not armed to the teeth like a "real" American man would be....

[stillcool]

17. his symposium went bust...

and so is he. Got to gin up some attention from somewhere. I hope the South Dakota cops don't have someone in mind they can pin it on.

[ashredux]

18. Excuse to stop his shit show

[CanonRay]

19. If it isn't on film, it didn't happen.

Covering for his miserable failure

[appleannie1]

20. His eyes look like he is on something.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. I Thought He Said No Breaks

Why was he coming from his room by elevator?
Why wasn't he on the livestream for 72 hours like he said he would be?
"After I lied about not taking breaks, I took a break, and antifa beat me up."
This guy's mind has taken a walk off the map.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

22. Drug induced psychosis is a bitch.

[Jim__]

23. Even if he had been attacked, how would he know it was "antifa."

Would they tell him what group they represented?

[SoCalNative]

24. Never a good idea

to stiff your dealer.

[WhiteTara]

25. and they stole 1.6 billion dollars from him at the same time. nt

[Mr.Bill]

26. He expects us to believe him now?

Sorry, Mike. One of the side effects of your recent tom foolery is you will never have any credibility with decent people for the rest of your life. You pissed it away. Enjoy.

[CentralMass]

27. The truth beat the snot out of him.

[Traildogbob]

29. Perfect

Fucker been shouting wolf to the tune of billion dollar lawsuit for his lies. Now we believe him? Like we would believe a word out of trumps anal lips ever. I do understandable someone would like to beat his ass though. Maybe the invisible Sky guy, or woman, did it. Tired of him trashing the God image. God is losing followers are likes.

[louis-t]

28. Looking for sympathy.

Getting sick of seeing his commercials.

[hadEnuf]

30. Gee, did they carve "nediB" on his forehead too?

[Shellback Squid]

51. good memory

[Lasher]

31. Ha ha ha, total jackass!

This is what it looks like when nobody believes you.

[Initech]

33. "Antifa stole my stuff / beat me up" is the new "dog ate my homework".

[AverageOldGuy]

34. In a hotel . . .

. . . with security cameras covering every square inch?

Sounds like bullshit to me.

[monkeyman1]

35. should have taken a pillow to protect himself !

[TlalocW]

36. Those packets jumped out of the intertuberwebbernet

Beat me up and then jumped back in... just like that Freakazoid cartoon I would watch when doing Coke in the 90s!

39. IDryHumpMyPillow CEO is expected to make a major announcement soon.

[packman]

40. Someone found they paid a few dollars more for a 50cent pillow and got pissed

[keopeli]

42. Come on! He left right when a court said he could be sued for 1.3 B!! Then he got bad press. So,

he lies to cover up that he was freaking out at being sued for billions. Being 'attacked' is a much better excuse than 'I had to talk to my lawyers about perpetuating a lie that, by the way, all of you paid me money to come here so I can repeat that lie over and over.'

The simplest answer is often the correct answer.

[bucolic_frolic]

43. Yeah, but he sees election fraud where there is none so why believe him about this now?

They make it up as they go along because their joy is in hoodwinking the public. Must be a marketing fetish.

[Midnight Writer]

44. Maybe he mistook tourists for terrorists. He seems to have trouble telling them apart.

[aggiesal]

45. I think a dog pee'd on his shoes n/t

[durablend]

46. He beat himself up?

Who can blame him?

[Sibelius Fan]

47. 99.999999999% chance he's lying. Again.

[truthisfreedom]

49. At his hotel. At 11:30pm. There must be camera footage.

Why didn’t he have his head on a pillow safe in his room? Kinda late for a repuke to be up. Was he at the hotel bar? Are there fingernail scratches in his cheeks? Was he drinking? Americans want to know. Now. Weasel.

[C Moon]

52. It's a pillow case.

[jmowreader]

53. Officer! Officer! I saw it all!

I was standing outside the hotel just having a quiet smoke and watching cat videos on my phone when this kinda fat guy came strolling out of the front door. Yeah, he was wearing a suit, he's got a bad haircut and a cheesy mustache, and I think he was part of that TV show they're filming in there because he looked like he needed his makeup touched up. Anyway, these six guys all jumped out of a pickup and came running toward him all carrying pillows. And they were just beating him and beating him with these pillows screaming that he lied to them about bringing Trump back. Well, they knocked him out with those pillows. I guess they were trying to be nice so they stuck a pillow under his head. He woke up screaming "this is the worst pillow ever. Bring me a My Pillow." And one of the six guys screamed back "that IS a My Pillow, you dick!" And then they just left.

54. Mike, You Gotta Pay The Hooker

Otherwise she gets real mad and does stuff. I guess you forgot that from your crack days……..

[twodogsbarking]

55. He is releasing evidence to prove voter fraud

that will make Biden and Harris resign. He said he would do it today.

[Bengus81]

56. There would be video footage all over that hotel. See if he filed a false police report

Then charge his ass accordingly........

[BlueIdaho]

57. So full of shit...

I wonder if his family is considering having him committed to protect the family fortune?

[Mosby]

58. He was so coked up during that event.

The media is actively ignoring it. Cooper showed a clip, he had sweat running down his face while he ranted about some crazy qanon bullshit. He was high as a kite.

[BlueIdaho]

61. Probably attacked by disgruntled attendees

A couple of guys that forked over big bucks to attend Mikie’s Shit Show decided to get their monies worth out of his hide. I don’t blame them, they all got hosed.

[Politicub]

62. Batshit crazy fool probably believes someone is hacking his brain.

I expect he’ll launch a new tinfoil pillow to keep out the dominion energy rays.
