The End of MyPillow and Mike Lindell? [View all]

Being a Minnesota native I still subscribe to StarTribune online. Today I saw this article. Apparently MyPillow is closing a factory and auctioning equipment after sales plummeted $100m. You may hit a paywall at StarTribune but I’ll post the headline and some other links that should be free. Is this the end?

If so I feel sorry for his employees who are supporting families while working for this guy. His craziness will end up hurting a lot of people who are just trying to earn a living.

MyPillow is auctioning off equipment after retailers pull its products
CEO Mike Lindell says annual sales fell $100 million after several big-box retailers cut ties following his election claims.
