MyPillow CEO Gets Job As Election Cop At RNC

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell might have gone down in flames during his bid to become the RNC Chair last week, but he was given a pretty impressive consolation prize: According to Lindell, the RNC has agreed to let him lead an "Election Crime Unit" focused on the 2020 election. This is a bad move by the RNC for so many reasons, the biggest being that it could open them up to severe legal liability. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why the RNC is going to regret this decision very quickly.

So MyPillow, C E O, Mike Lindell last week, of course, as we all know, sadly did not win his election to be the next chair of the Republican National Committee. And we're all very sad about that. But don't worry folks, because Mike Lindell told Steve Bannon this week that he has apparently been given a consolation prize and he has now going to be running what he called an election crime unit at the Republican National Committee. So we are talking about an election crime unit that is no longer being operated by Mike Lindell on his own. This one that by the way, yes, is going to look into the 2020 election, is gonna have the full backing of the Republican Party. Now here is what Mike Lindell said to Steve Bannon this week I'll have a plan where all of you can get involved going forward, and I'm going to be going to state, Steve, I'm not missing a beat starting this week, I'm going to be flying into at least three states. We need to hold the R N C accountable. They did say, I will work with Mike Lindell. I can't wait to work with Mike Lindell. Well, when you work with me, it's election crime

Check your phrasing there bud. Not a weak word like election integrity. It's called the election crime. Later in the week, we're setting up the Election crime unit, Steve. So everybody stay tuned. It's going to be big. Now, I don't know how honest Mike Lindell is being here, right? Is this something that is really going to be taking place within the R N C? Is it going to have access to their funding, to their email apparatus to all of that? Because if so, the Republican party probably needs to go ahead and lawyer up. Here's why. If Mike Lindell goes out and about this time as a official, I guess with the Republican Party, then everything he says from that point forward is an official R N C sponsored statement. He is no longer operating on his own. He is in fact a massive legal liability. He's just shifting that legal liability from himself onto the National Party.

So if he goes out there and repeats any of the claims that have already gotten him sued from Dominion and Smart, mad Dominion and Smart Mad would then at that point be able to go ahead and add the R n C into that, uh, 1.3 billion lawsuit. All he has to do is make those statements once as an official with the R N C and boom there in the lawsuit too. So I can't imagine that the Republican National Committee would actually do this. They have to know that that liability exists and all it takes, again, is one time he says those things, repeats those things one time. As

A, a member of the R N C, they're in those lawsuits as well. Maybe they are that stupid. Maybe they're just trying to pander so hard to him and the people who think the 2020 election was stolen, that they're willing to take on that risk. It's not a smart move like the, the reward is certainly not worth the risk for them. But if what Mike Lindell is saying is true, then the Republican Party itself is about to be in massive legal problems, and that's probably not going to help them, you know, being sued for $1.3 billion when we're about to start a 2024 presidential cycle where they're gonna need every dollar they've got.
