Mike Pillow Says He’s Heading To The DNC To Convert Democrats To Trumpism

The Democratic Convention will kick off next week, and a surprise attendee at the event is going to be MyPillow founder Mike Lindell. Lindell announced that he will be going to the convention with the intention of converting Democrats into Trump supporters, which is even dumber than it sounds. Lindell is desperate for attention, and this trip to the DNC is probably going to be the wrong kind of attention for the embattled pillow magnate. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

The Democratic National Convention is set to kick off early next week. Uh, there's gonna be a ton of celebrities there, but the, you know, Harris Walls ticket is like, let's maybe tone it down with the celebrity folks, but there is gonna be one celebrity there, whether they want him there or not, and that celebrity is going to be none other than MyPillow founder and CEO Mike Lindell. But of course, Mike Lindell is not going to the DNC because he supports the Harris Walls ticket, or because he supports Democrats at all. No, in a recent interview on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast, that, of course, Steve Bannon himself is not hosting because he is in prison, but Steve, uh, uh, excuse me, Mike Lindell said that he's going to the DNC on an almost religious mission to convert people to Trumpism. Here's what Mike Lindell had to say.

Well, like our great real president always tells me, he says, Mike, he goes, you get these big applauses, but that's 'cause the people want, what, what I'm trying to get to, they want secure elections. Everybody does. I can go anywhere. I'm going to Chicago next week for the Democrat Convention to be there and to flip

Democrats. Mike Lindell, the pillow guy, Mike Pillow, whatever you want to call him, is heading to Chicago to go and convert Democrats into Trumpism. Now, let's assume for a minute, uh, that Mike Lindell is able to be persuasive enough to convert some people to Trumpism. Do you know where even the most persuasive person is not gonna have any sway trying to convert somebody's political ideology at a party's convention, whether you're a Democrat trying to convert Republicans at the RNC or a Republican trying to convert Democrats at the DNC, it's not gonna happen. Folks, the, these are not just your average everyday moderate people who show up and go to the convention. These are the hardcore folks, right? These are the party loyalists. You're, you're not going to convince anybody at the DNC with evidence, by the way, that you don't possess that they should become Trumpers.

I don't think there is a single person with a ticket to the DNC right now saying, well, I'm kind of on the fence. I don't know. I'm just waiting for a pillow man to show up and, you know, show me the light. This is bonkers. And the worst thing is with Donald Trump having his psychotic breakdown on the right. I can't even say that Mike Lindell is the craziest person on the right right now. 'cause he is not like, I don't even know at this point. Even with, as loony as Mike Lindell is, he doesn't even break the top five at this point. That is how insane the Republican party has become. Mike Lindell can make crazy statements like this, can make crazy statements like he has for the last four years, and he still is not even close to being the craziest person in the Republican party right now. That should tell you everything you need to know about where today's modern GOP stands on the crazy meter.
