Donald Trump has claimed the U.S. is living in a "Weaponized Police State" following reports MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell had his cellphone seized by the FBI.
Lindell, one of the most prominent 2020 Election conspiracy theorists, said federal agents took his phone while questioning him about Tina Peters, a Colorado clerk who is under incitement over allegations of tampering with election voting equipment.
In a video posted online, Lindell said he was targeted by a "weaponized" FBI, adding what happened to him was "disgusting."
In a post on Truth Social, Trump also made a similar claim while showing support for the man who frequently backs the false claim the former president lost the last election due to widespread voter fraud.

Talk about pathetic code words designed to elicit a Pavlovian response from the cult.
