'Defeated' Mike Lindell Ends 96-hour TV Marathon After Failing to Gain Support
Source: Newsweek
Mike Lindell ended a 96-hour online marathon entitled, Thanks-a-thon, after failing to gain strong support for his Supreme Court case. The MyPillow CEO has long been a fervent supporter of former President Donald Trump and has continued to make baseless claims that the 2020 election was rigged in favour of President Joe Biden and that he would file a lawsuit. Despite providing no evidence for widespread election fraud, Lindell claimed he would have the support of multiple states' attorneys in general as he hoped to take this issue to the Supreme Court. The 60-year-old claimed he would have this support by Thanksgiving, a deadline he set himself, but he did not receive it and the lawsuit was not filed.

36. "On the Youtube stream of the event, only a dozen people were watching the event."
|
During the stream, Newsweek also reported on the low number of viewers despite the claim by Lindell that millions were watching. On the Youtube stream of the event, only a dozen people were watching the event.
Posted on Lindell's Youtube channel, Freedom Patriot Network, the stream ended with 9,164 views. The exact viewing figures are unclear as the event was also being streamed on Lindell's own platforms, Frank Speech, and Lindell TV where viewing figures are not shared publicly. On Wednesday, Lindell held a protest outside the Fox News headquarters in Manhattan in the hopes the network would start covering his election fraud case. Only a handful of protesters joined the pillow salesman in the rally, where they could be seen on camera chanting ""Shame on Fox, shame on Fox."

29. He should pay Jim Bakker to come on and do the get-down-on-his-knees trick.
|
I watched Bakker do that back in the late 70s on late-night TV during a long night of drinking. That was long before he got busted. He got on his knees and begged people to call in and donate $500 each to his church grift.
I suspect tRump, Lindell, Bakker, Swaggart, Robertson and Graham are all cast from the same rotten mold in the mental sense. Does the MyPillow pillow resists tear stains?.....  ..... |
