Mike Lindell to Spend 'Whatever It Takes' on Claims Trump Won in 2020, Already Spent $25M

My Pillow founder and CEO Mike Lindell said he will spend "whatever it takes" to continue to promote the conspiracy theory that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election.

Lindell, a staunch Trump loyalist, has been a key promoter of discredited claims that the last presidential election was "stolen" in favor of President Joe Biden. He has alleged that China hacked the election to prevent Trump from winning, but the "evidence" he has brought forward has been consistently debunked by cybersecurity and election experts. Nonetheless, the businessman plans to keep on fighting for Trump and spending his money in the process.

"I will keep spending it because there is no tomorrow. We lose our country. We either only have two paths: Either it gets changed before the 2022 election or we lose our country forever. I will spend every dime I have," Lindell told CNBC in an interview published Thursday morning.

"I will spend whatever it takes," he asserted, saying that he's already spent some $25 million.

Please proceed Mike. The more you spend the merrier.

Lindel like his hero "Trump" is much too stupid to know how to ..."Shut Up"..

Shutting Up is kind of ..."easy" if you know how to do it, and want to do it..!!!

Aside from falling under the spell of TFG he doesn’t seem like a bad sort. But he’ll be ruined, TFG will dump him, and he’ll end up going back to his bad ways. He must have brain damage from his past excesses.

People get scammed all the time. He just announced that he's a sitting target.

It's kind of hard to feel sorry for him, though.

Who is really paying for it.
Lindell was worth a maximum of $30 million.
He lies about being worth more.
It’s so improbable that it’s over $30 million, it is nearly impossible.
Again, who’s really paying for this.

can throw that much into an obvious Big Lie supporting another con man, just think how much real millionaires and billionaires are spending on right-wing think tanks and political PACs. Pretty strong head winds against us Dems.

Lindell must literally be in bed with tRump, probably supplying cheap pillows at a discount for tRump's plastic, gold spray-painted hotels and resorts.
