4:00Now PlayingMyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is not happy that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is now Kamala Harris’ running mate, and shortly after the announcement was made this week, Lindell ran crying to the War Room podcast where he accused Walz of somehow destroying his political career (that never even existed.) Lindell claimed that he was totally going to run for governor, but Walz attacked him so he couldn’t do it. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this bizarre and fact-free claim from Lindell.

So this week, of course, vice President Kamala Harris announced that Minnesota Governor Tim Walls, is going to be her running mate. He's going to be the guy on the ticket with her. It is officially Harris Walls, progressives, Democrats. Everybody on the left is celebrating this choice. Pretty much everybody, right? It's universal, almost consensus that this was the smartest pick for her. Republicans, on the other hand, are trying to tell us that, oh, boy, this is so easy now for us. We got 'em, right? Well, one of the people on the right who is, uh, really not happy about Harris picking walls and who believes, of course, it'll be an easy fight for Republicans, is none other than MyPillow, CEO, Mike Lindell, Lindel in an interview on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast this week, which of course is currently not being hosted by Steve Bannon because he is in prison. But Lindell went on War Room podcast to complain that Tim Walls apparently killed Mike Lindell's, non-existent political career before it could even get off the ground. Sounds weird, right? Well, Lindell's a weird guy, but here's what he said.
He made horrible
Decisions with the China virus when that came in. We had to sit out in Snow banks to eat. Yeah, I gotta stop right there and say, no, you didn't. That Tim Walls did not force anybody to go sit in the snow to eat a meal. That is not a thing that ever happened anywhere. And then Mike Lindell said that he was gonna go to church and deliver a bunch of masks to people, but Tim Wall's banned church. That also, by the way, didn't happen. He then continued, and
I was gonna run for Governor of Minnesota after the 2020 election, but Walls feared that, and he put out a hit job
On me throughout the
State, sent postcards out
Everywhere. Do
We want this guy attacking me, attacking my pillow? He's a horrible, horrible governor politician and decision maker.
He was gonna run for governor folks. Mike Lindell was gonna run for governor, but oh man, Tim Walls did a politics on him. Like Mike, I don't know, genuinely, I don't know if you know anything at all, but you do realize that a politician is going to go out there and politically attack anyone that is going to be a political opponent. It doesn't matter if it's a democrat, libertarian, republican, moderate, independent, green party, whatever. If you're running in a race against other human beings, you're gonna be attacked and you're gonna attack them. Like that's, that's literally what campaigning is in the United States. So you're telling us that you didn't get to run for governor because the man who was gonna be your political opponent allegedly went out there attacking you. Wow, that is, that is probably the first that's ever happened in this country, right? Mike Lindell is just so painfully ignorant about things that I can't help but laugh at it. I can't tell you how much joy it brings me every time I get to talk about Mike Lindell because it's so dumb. It's always just the dumbest thing imaginable, and I love it, and I'm never going to stop. Mike Lindell brings me so much joy with the level of stupidity that he has injected into American politics that I can't even describe it.
