Thread: MyPillow CEO and right-wing fixture Mike Lindell explained his White House visit with right-wing radio host Eric Metaxas (who tweeted hashtag martial law in support of Lindell).
The interview had deranged conspiracy theories, justifications of violence, and more.
The interview had deranged conspiracy theories, justifications of violence, and more.
The interview starts with Metaxas touting Lindell’s supposed “genuine evidence” of foreign election fraud. Lindell says it came out “ten days ago” on Twitter and starts explaining the conspiracy theory.
Lindell then clarifies that his source for this debunked lie is a conspiracy theory website. Lindell claims Trump won by 11 million votes (he did not).
Lindell lists some countries that he says were involved (China, Iran, Iraq) and then goes into the “algorithms broke” spiel that we’ve heard from Sidney Powell.
Lindell talks about some sort of apparently digital “wheel” that he says was used by foreign countries to change election results. It doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Metaxas says Trump must know all of this, and Mike Lindell says he that is using “the same sources” as Sidney Powell was using.
Metaxas segues from promoting MyPillow, to saying that Lindell is getting nothing out of his actions.
Metaxas repeats Lindell’s baseless allegations about voter totals, and Lindell segues into defending Trump’s call to Georgia’s secretary of state and then claims Trump won GA, AZ, and NV
I was thinking the exact same thing at this halfway point.
Lindell goes through election conspiracy theories at a rapid pace, including another mention of this “wheel”
Lindell pushes the QAnon conspiracy theory that Italy stole the election. mediamatters.org/qanon-conspira…
Lindell says he did “due diligence and checked into all this.” Metaxas praises Lindell in return.

Metaxas calls Lindell’s evidence “very very powerful circumstantial evidence that would trigger an investigation.” Lindell complains that MyPillow is losing vendors because of “bots and Twitters and electronic people”
Lindell says that a Lindell parody twitter account is an operation run by Twitter to discredit him, then blames his lawyer for the coup plan (“options”) he presented to the president in the Oval Office
Metaxas says that the Capitol putsch is being used as a “Reichstag fire” to silence people like him and Lindell. Metaxas suggests Trump has to act or America will go “down the drain”
Metaxas tells Lindell that he is convinced that Lindell’s evidence is “true” before saying that violence ("riots") would be justified if it was to avert the end of the country.
Anyway, this is still up on YouTube.
Dominion was explicitly mentioned once in this interview, by Metaxas.
