Mike Lindell Says His Employees Are Freaking Out As MyPillow Goes Under - Ring of Fire



During a segment on his Lindell TV platform, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell whined about the fact that his employees are suffering and unsure of their future due to his crazy antics. He blames the media for all of this, but the reality is that he showed the world how unhinged he truly is, and that is always going to come back and bite the company in the end. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

I'll bet every one of his employees will appreciate not working for a traitorous crazy person.

... I'd say My Pillow buys manufacturers' foam cut-offs (the foam trimmings left over from furniture manufacturers, like Bassett and La-Z-Boy) at essentially refuse prices, then shreds it to make their pillows. Great way to turn a byproduct into something useful so it doesn't wind up in landfills. But to charge $45 or $50 for the pillows? Kind of a con, really.

He isn't worried about his employees. He is the one who let them down. They can, and will find other work. Mike is worried about his own wealth that is slipping through his fingers. He is a loser and now the world knows it, it will be hard to make a comeback, but easy to slip back into addiction. That is the price he is going to have to pay for supporting Fascism.

He needs to listen to Jimmy Buffet; he is blaming it on the media, blaming it on the judges, blaming it on the liberals, He blew out his flip flops and stepped on a pop-top, and we know, it's his own damn fault.
