Twitter has banished My Pillow Inc. Chief Executive Officer Mike Lindell, the bedding company honcho who courted controversy after persistently tweeting Donald Trump was the real winner of the U.S. presidential race.

The company decided to ban Lindell permanently after he repeatedly violated its civic integrity policy, a spokesperson said. Twitter Inc. has invoked that policy previously to fight false claims about the vote, including the ban on Trump himself alongside more than 70,000 accounts dedicated to sharing QAnon-associated conspiracy theory content. The company representative didn’t elaborate on the move.

Calls on social media to boycott My Pillow products intensified after Trump-loyalist Lindell continued to insist the election was rigged, even after the Capitol riots of this month that left several dead. Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., Kohl’s Corp., HEB Grocery Co. and Wayfair Inc. are among those dropping its products, Lindell has said.

“I’m not backing down on these machines that stole our election,” Lindell said in a recent interview with Business Insider, referring to claims about rigged voting machines. “I’m not changing my mind on anything like that ever. I’m not going to: ‘Oh, please, don’t boycott me. Please don’t.’”

2. I just feel sorry for all the people who are going to be out of work soon

when he drives his business into the ground tilting at these windmills.

3. I see that he borrowed his clothes

from his dear leaders wardrobe. The guy is such a creep.

4. Dominion is going to put him on the street, they have threatened to sue him for defamation

I also feel sorry for the people who will be out of work, but he needs to go down like all the other liars who surrounded trump these past four years.

6. Why are they showing Ron Burgundy?

Let's hope TV also bans this douche. They got rid of the Dell kid for much less.

7. I'm beginning to think that My Pillow Guy's business

had not been doing so well prior to his "All In" public displays for Trump.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump dangled the promise of supplying all of his properties with My Pillows in exchange for his full public support. It also wouldn't surprise me that he's still making that promise and that's why this guy is not backing down.

Of course, regardless of the outcome, we know that Trump never had any intention to make good on his promise ... once again.
