MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has been permanently barred from Twitter

[Siwsan]

Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO who is a fervent supporter of former President Donald Trump, has been permanently suspended by Twitter.

Twitter cited Lindell for violating its civic-integrity policy by making repeated false claims about the 2020 US election and violating the platform's policy on misinformation.

In the aftermath of the presidential election, Lindell used Twitter to defend his close friend and suggest that the president impose "martial law" in the seven states where Trump was contesting the results of the election. He also tweeted that some Georgia voters should "go to prison" as a punishment for Joe Biden's win there.

Lindell has long been a close ally of Trump, and on Monday he told the Associated Press that the former president promised to endorse him should he run for Minnesota governor. Lindell also supported Trump's baseless election-fraud claims and helped to fund his postelection "March for Trump" bus tour.

1. Majority of shithole's supporters are . . .

absolutely insane, i.e. shithole's supporter priest exorcising I don't know what to overturn the elections.

[mucifer]

2. Morning Joe was just making fun of him calling him "mr pillow".

[Best_man23]

9. I know some on DU call him "Mein Pillow"

[spooky3]

19. LOL! Nt

[Takket]

3. Here comes another round of "freedom of speech" complaints

Fuck em all. Thanks twitter

[Dreampuff]

27. The mainstream and sane

Networks are trying to dispel all of the disinformation. I can only imagine that Newsmax and fox and Aon are still peddling their lies. Wonder when they can shut them down or how many more will have to be hurt or die before they get that accomplished.

[CaptainTruth]

31. They keep demonstrating their ignorance of the 1st Amendment.

"Congress shall make no law..."

So tell us, Mr Mein Pillow, what exactly did Congress do to restrict your speech?

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from the consequences of your words.

He spoke freely on a social media site. He violated that site's terms of service. As a consequence, he was banned from the site. He's free to exercise his freedom of speech on other sites.

[MyOwnPeace]

4. Gee, just like his "HERO!"

As "Church Lady" would say - "How special......."

[mezame]

5. If Twitter Does It...

...will Facebook, Instagram, et. al. do the same as rigorously? Fingers crossed. The new administration has their eyes on Big Tech already.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Sweet dreams

[dclarston13]

7. I wish the mainstream media

Would follow suit and quit covering these baseless election fraud claims as it they have some kind of validity.
It seems like if mr pillow claimed bigfoot voted in GA, then they would put together a panel of self proclaimed experts to discuss the possibility.

[gab13by13]

17. You must be watching a different channel than I watch.

I haven't seen any cable news anchors or journalists pushing election fraud, quite the contrary.

[dclarston13]

32. They push it by interviewing

fools with stupid ideas and making those ideas seem normal. Its how we got trump in the first place. If the news media laughed him off the stage I think it would have been different.Huffpost tried not to cover him for those reasons but that only lasted a few days.

8. Not Censorship

Media companies, who employ me, share some blame for taking the easy advertising money sponsoring the Trump circus.

Bullied by Republican co-conspirators of the right-wing, media companies were reluctant to limit hate speech for fear of being labeled censors and 1st Amendment enemies.

That bridge has been crossed by banning Trump from Twitter, and none of the Orwellian free-speech overblown fears materialized. You can ban assholes from social media, and it makes social media 73% less propagandaish.

[SergeStorms]

10. It's about damned time.

This guy wanted to make himself relevant, and what better way than to glom onto "He who shall remain un-named's" coterie of lunatics and intellectually stunted maniacs. He dedicated himself to the credo "whatever ______ thinks is exactly how I'm going to think".
He's a dangerous nut, and I hope his adherence to ______'s gonzo ideas break him monetarily, just as they've broken him mentally. I wish he'd go away.

[lagomorph777]

11. We won the pillow fight!

Loss of revenue is going to make it hard to feather his nest.

[Siwsan]

13. I expect a lot of his stuff will be showing up with BIG discount at places like Ollies and Big Lots

If they haven't already joined the stores boycotting his products.

[JohnnyRingo]

24. That is literally the bottom line.

He is now selling republican pillows.
And crazy right wing republican pillows at that.
Wouldn't want to be an investor and watch this idiot destroy the product.

[bedazzled]

25. shitty crazy republican right wing pillows

how special

[ProfessorGAC]

12. Brain Damaged Crack Addict Banned From Twitter

I fixed their headline for them.
I'm sick of seeing CEO in front of that moron's name, given it's a crappy, massively leveraged company that pays its employees above minimum wage.
So, brain damaged crack addict works better.

[liberalla]

14. This guy is repulsive!

Trump makes any idiot think they can be President.

[Diraven]

18. I wouldn't be surprised if he ran

He seems like one of those rich guys who thinks his wealth means whatever addled ideas he holds must be right and the peons should believe him. Seems like we just knew someone else like that...

[liberalla]

21. So right!

[lonely bird]

23. Actually...

Too many people in this country believe that success, defined as making a shitload of money in business, translates into being a genius in all fields including politics.

[chwaliszewski]

15. Banning MeinPillow reminds me of this movie quote...

[Diraven]

16. His own lawyer should have done it

Since he's one of the cranks getting sued for libel by Dominion voting machine company. To keep him from giving them even more evidence against him.

[Efilroft Sul]

20. Bye, Pillow

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

22. "Cancel Culture" screamed at the non-listening world...

in 3...2...1...

[Politicub]

26. I am liking this new policy.

[geardaddy]

28. Tears on MyPillow.

[colorado_ufo]

30. Excellent!

[geardaddy]

29. That fuckhead is trying to run for gov of MN.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

33. Is the bird finally picking the shit out of its nest?

Destruction of the tree in which one nests is not good for long term profits.

[Blue Owl]

34. Bwah!

I love it!
