MAGA pillow magnate Mike Lindell predicted on Tuesday that the courts will toss out the billion-dollar defamation lawsuits he’s facing from voting software firms in a scene reminiscent of the 1990s comedy My Cousin Vinny.
Lindell also told The Daily Beast that while his company MyPillow has taken a significant financial hit since a number of big-box retailers now refuse to carry his products on their shelves over his election lies, he believes that Bed Bath & Beyond’s bankruptcy is the result of the store yanking his pillows off shelves.
The Star Tribune reported on Monday that Lindell’s company is auctioning off hundreds of pieces of “surplus equipment” and subleasing manufacturing space amid the ongoing boycott of MyPillow products from major retailers and cable shopping channels. Stores such as Walmart, Costco, and Bed Bath & Beyond all stopped selling the company’s merchandise in the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection and Lindell’s baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.
