Mike Lindell Accuses RNC Chair Of Money Laundering As He Tries To Take Her Job

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell might have stepped across a legal line with his latest accusations about RNC chair Ronna McDaniel. Lindell says that he may have uncovered evidence of money laundering taking place at the RNC (under McDaniel's leadership, of course.) If Lindell can't prove it, McDaniel could easily sue the pillow man, adding to his mounting legal troubles. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

MyPillow, C E o. Mike Lindell thinks he may have, possibly could have, I guess, uncovered a major money laundering operation taking place within the very Republican party itself. The Republican party that coincidentally Mike Lindell is running to run, right? He wants to unseat current R n c chair Ron McDaniel. So he has resulted to smearing her and not quite accusing her of laundering money, but also suggesting that there could be money laundering taking place at the R N C, right? He doesn't wanna go into the full blown slander and defamation part of it. He's just kind of flirting with it a little bit. So here is Mike Lindell talking about the possible money laundering taking place at the Republican party. Here he is.

There are so many problems, Steve. I've spent the last three weeks just doing due diligence within the r n fee and the money, just the money itself that it costs to, uh, um, that it costs the 40 cents for every dollar that you go out and, uh, get from big donors goes to these things. One of 'em is called data trust. It's like, to me it's like a big money laundering, uh, operation. I haven't, you know, um, don't quote me on that, but I mean, we're still digging. This is disgusting. The wasted, frivolous money that goes down the drain and, um, the big donors, they deserve better. They deserve, they, we deserve some return on our investment. I used to give a lot of money to the r and c. I won't do it, and neither will the big donors in its current condition, and it needs new leadership and it needs,

So he, he is like, don't quote me on that. Well, of course you don't want people to quote you on that because that is very, uh, uh, slanderous, I guess you would say. If you are literally accusing the chair of the Republican party of laundering money, like you're accusing them of a crime that you, by the way have no evidence to back up, then yeah, Ronna McDaniel, the R N C itself, could 100% sue you for defamation. And we know based on all of your other lawsuits you're facing, you probably don't need another one. So of course he's like, don't quote me on that. No, quote him on that. I think everybody should. You are flirting. Like you're, you're really coming very close to that line because sure, you're not outright accusing them of it, but even by suggesting it, like you could still be sued for that.

So tread lightly there, Mike Lindell, because you're like very much on that line of slanderous speech there. But here's the thing, it certainly doesn't rise to the level of money laundering, but Mike Lindell, believe it or not, and I'm kind of shocked to admit this, is hitting on a very important point with the finances of not just the R N C, but pretty much all political parties. They raise tons and tons of monies. Uh, money, not monies, but the apparatuses that they use take a good chunk out of it, right? That's not okay. We need to fix that system. Each individual party needs to go through and fix their systems so that they're not giving away half their money or even 20% of their money just to the functions used to raise that money. That's a lot of finances going straight out the door for these vendors.

And I know people gotta make money, right? You gotta get as much as you can while you can get it. But it is starving these political parties of money. And in my opinion, I do believe they're being overcharged by most of these vendors out there. But being overcharged sure as hell is not the same as money to laundering. And that's what Mike Lindell, again was, was trying to suggest there. He used the phrase money laundering. Well, paying your vendors is not laundering money. Getting overcharged for a service is not laundering money. It means you didn't shop around. It means you probably didn't find the best contractors out there, but it doesn't mean that you're stealing money from the party and putting it in your own pockets through a series of laundering activities. But of course, as I mentioned, the reason Mike Lindell is out there suggesting this about Ronald McDaniel is cuz Mike Lindell wants to run the Republican party. He wants to be the guy in charge of all of it, and he swears he's gotta clean up all of this so-called corruption.
