MyPillow guy Mike Lindell flipped out in connection to the news Walmart would be dropping MyPillow, Lindell’s company. Specifically, it turns out, the company’s products will no longer be available in Walmart stores, but on Walmart’s website — where third-party sellers can make items available — MyPillow will still be available, per a Walmart spokesperson.
“While we are no longer carrying them in stores, MyPillow products continue to be available on Walmart.com,” a Walmart spokesperson said. Losing out on access to in-person customers at Walmart stores is still obviously a perceptibly significant blow to MyPillow — although none of the impacts his company has sustained along these lines have apparently shaken Lindell’s commitment to promoting nonsensical claims of systematic election fraud in the 2020 presidential race. The claims haven’t exactly helped MyPillow’s profile with consumers outside the Trump base.
Lindell discussed the Walmart decision regarding his company during a podcast episode with fellow Trump goon Steve Bannon. Lindell credited an executive vice president at Walmart with informing him of the company’s move. He was apparently communicating with this Walmart executive via video call, and allegedly, this executive attributed Walmart’s decision to MyPillow failing to reach a certain level of consumer satisfaction as reflected in a customer ratings system on the Walmart website.
“All of a sudden he goes, well, we’re not ever having MyPillow again. He said, you don’t make the rating of a 4. And I go… what are you talking about? He goes, well two and a half years ago, we put in a rating system,” Lindell ranted to Bannon, discussing his conversation with a Walmart executive. After saying he told the Walmart executive (referencing the ratings), “You do realize bots and trolls attack all the time?” Lindell added that he “slammed” his computer shut. “He had this smirk on his face. I said, goodbye, you’re going to be all over the news tomorrow, and I slammed the computer. He lied, straight-up lied, it was all to slow-play Mike Lindell’s” cancellation, Lindell added on the podcast.

“This is where we’re at everybody, in this battle of epic proportions, historical proportions,” Lindell added in an appearance on the Right Side Broadcasting Network on Friday. “What happens is it takes a little bit but evil reveals itself and their true colors come out. Walmart, it just took ’til now, and they tried to just disguise it and boom, here they are… And it’s not just Mike Lindell. Remember everybody, January 7 of 2021, 1.2 million Americans got cancelled.” Lindell said that “cancellation” happened on social platforms. Maybe he’s referring to post-Capitol riot removals of accounts associated with violence or the threat of it? “It’s kinda like back in Nazi Germany,” Lindell added. No it’s not. But he continued: “You might have Walmart, and let’s say the CMO was really sincere… well then, you don’t know, maybe the board of directors, maybe the CEO — we don’t know that part. But we do know there’s an agenda behind it.” Okay Mike. And unicorns are about to fly out of the clouds and start shooting laser beams out of their eyes. Watch Lindell below:
