MyPillow CEO Backtracks On Claims Of Trump Being Reinstated

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is trying to convince people that he never said that Trump would be reinstated on August 13th of this year, claiming that the media twisted his words. In reality, Lindell didn't explicitly "say" that Trump would be reinstated that day, but he did claim that the election would be overturned on that day. But as the day inches closer, Lindell realizes that his claims might make him look like a fraud. Farron Cousins discusses this.

Yesterday on Steve Madden's podcast, as per usual, my pillow CEO, Mike Lindell sought to clarify his statements about when exactly Donald Trump is going to be reinstated as president, as I'm sure everybody remembers just about a week or so ago. Mike Lindell was out there trying to tell us that Donald Trump was going to be reinstated on August 13th, following a, whatever his little today on August 11th and 12th, uh, uh, info athon. I guess, if you want to call it that he's going to basically be presenting 48 hours of evidence and then taking it all to the U S Supreme court in August 13th was the day he said that Trump could be coming back, but now he says, hold up. I'd never said that. Here's what he told

Steve Bannon.

Here's what I said about a week ago. We're going to live stream to the world on the 10th, 11th and 12th of August. So I'm sorry. He's added an extra day now. Must have a lot of, uh, evidence here. But what I said was when you all see what I've seen, what I have the morning of the 13th, you're going to wake up and go, wow, what are we going to do? Everyone's going to know it. And that's when we're going to bring it to the Supreme court. I didn't say that everything's going to change the morning of the 13th, but everybody's

Going to know what I know.

Here's a problem, man. You actually did say that everything was going to change on the morning of the 13th. You said the election results were going to be overturned on August 3rd

Team. By the way, I went back, double checked what you said,

Re-read it. And you said the results of the election going to be overturned on August 13th.

You did.

Now. You're not so sure. I'll give you that much. Trying to walk back a little bit like, ah, I mean, I said the 13th because that's just the day that things are known, but no, you had said the election gets overturned on the 13th on the third day, because you had your 11th and 12th. Now you've got your 10th, 11th and 12th. Maybe you've found new evidence. You want to support the Supreme court was going to overturn at nine to zero, but not necessarily. I'll give you this much, going back, rereading your statement. You did not say Trump was going to be reinstated on the 13th. You just said that was the day the election was going to be overturned. But now you're not even saying that's the day it gets overturned. So you are backtracking. You are trying to be like, no, no, no, no, no. The 13th is just the day that we all know what

I know. I guess

If you're tuning into his live stream, but then of course he says, he takes it to the Supreme court. You get your boom, nine to zero vote, unanimous Supreme court decision. Next thing you know, Bob's your uncle, Trump's president. And that's the end of that, right? No, the Supreme court is going to laugh in his face.

If he even

Is able to bring a case to the U S Supreme court, he will be the laughingstock of the country. And I think he understands that. And I think that's why he's trying to back off. Now, here's the thing. How do you back off this? He has staked his entire reputation. I mean held the reputation of his company on overturning the results of the 2020 election. What happens? How does he react when that doesn't happen? Because by the way, that's not even a thing that can happen.

So what happens then? What happens to his credibility? Does he blame it on the liberals

On the Supreme court? Does he say that, oh no. I guess the whole systems in on it, the left and the right and the courts and the government and everybody's against us. That's the new conspiracy theory. Maybe that comes out of this when he's proven wrong. The only thing I'm hoping from this is that it does open a couple people's eyes. And honestly, I think that's the best we can hope for because we, those of us living in reality, understand what Mike Lindell is saying is going to happen. Can't possibly happen. That's not a thing that's even able to happen.
