MyPillow Guy Begs For Donations After Saying He's 'Lost Everything'

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell came to his supporters last week with sad news. The pillow magnate told his followers that he has now "lost everything...every dime!" and he is begging them to come to save him as he faces hundreds of millions of dollars in defamation lawsuits. His legal team recently abandoned him because they said that staying on as his lawyers would put them at a severe "financial risk," so it is obvious that this is one instance where Lindell isn't bluffing. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

We've lost everything, every dime, all of it is gone. Those are the words word for word. An exact quote of MyPillow, C E o, Mike Lindell from last week. And when he says, we've lost everything, every dime he is, of course, talking about all of his money, he's got nothing. He says, all of it is gone. Mike Lindell, the c e o of MyPillow is broke according to Mike Lindell, the c e o of MyPillow. And he made this pitch to his supporters on his Lindell TV platform while begging them to send him money. Even if it's just $5, you're basically saying like, Hey, look in your couch cushions. If you've got a few, few pennies in there, send them to me because I'm fighting off hundreds of millions of dollars in defamation lawsuits. I don't even have lawyers anymore because they abandoned me two weeks ago because I couldn't pay them.

In fact, the lawyers said that it would put them at serious financial risk if they continued to represent Mike Lindell because they also know he's outta money. He can't pay them. So why are we gonna continue doing all this work when we don't even know if you're gonna be able to pay the bills? Even if you'll win, you're probably not gonna be able to pay the bills. Now, I don't like to take joy in other people's suffering. That's not true at all. Uh, but I do have to say this kind of puts a smile on my face because this was 100% and we all got to watch it in real time happened over the last couple years. Mike Lindell went from being just this, you know, obscure guy that you'd see on the commercials, hugging his pillow and, oh, I love these pillows so much.

Um, and then he got invited to the White House that one time, right? 'cause you're talking about small businesses that ended up becoming big. So the Trump White House said, Hey, let's get the MyPillow guy. He shows up at the White House, he's all flustered and confused, you know, he was nervous. It was the first time on a big stage like that, and the rest is history. He went all in for Donald Trump, which, hey, that's his prerogative. He became an outspoken supporter of the president again, your prerogative. And then after the 2020 election, you went totally back crap crazy and just doubled, tripled, quadruple down on your conspiracy theory that the election was somehow stolen. And it was at that point that just started to lose the money. Your products were pulled off the shelves of major retailers. Although, I guess a little karma for you because some of those major retailers

Like Bed Bath and Beyond, no longer exist, right? They went bankrupt. So it's actually kind of funny. So even if they hadn't pulled your products off their shelves, your products still wouldn't be being sold there because you know, they went bankrupt. You've tried to branch out, you've tried to start my coffee, you've started my slippers, but apparently you are just too toxic. Now, Mike Lindell has every right the same as you or I to go out there and voice their political opinions. And if you have a product, I mean, look, we've got Ring of Fire. That is a product. It's a political product, however, so you know what you're getting into. If you're here, it's probably because, you know, definitely somebody on the left, but Mike Lindell was selling pillows. Pillows are not political. Pillows are something that everybody needs and you use it every day.
