Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl's and Wayfair ban MyPillow products as CEO Mike Lindell sticks to voter fraud claims
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said on Monday, January 18, that Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl's, and Wayfair have banned the sale of his products because of his continuous support of voter fraud theories. Speaking with conservative commentator Brian Glenn, Lindell revealed, “Just got off the phone with Bed Bath & Beyond. They’re dropping My Pillow. Just got off the phone not five minutes ago. Kohl’s, all these different places. These [companies], they’re scared, like a Bed Bath & Beyond, they’re scared. They were good partners. In fact, I told them, ‘You guys come back anytime you want.’”
Lindell has been one of the few trump allies still claiming that Biden won the election as it was rigged. But a substantial pushback from various corporates and financial entities has been noticed on such claims ever since the Capitol riots on January 6.
Lindell has also received a cease and desist letter by Dominion Voting Systems for alleging their machines were “rigged” to help Joe Biden in winning the 2020 presidential election. The letter described the 59-year-old as a “prominent leader of the ongoing misinformation campaign” and stated, “Despite knowing your implausible attacks against Dominion have no basis in reality, you have participated in the vast and concerted misinformation campaign to slander Dominion.” A follow-up letter later published by the company added, “With this letter, Dominion renews its demand that you retract your defamatory accusations immediately and issue a public apology for damaging Dominion’s reputation with completely fabricated claims of fraud and corruption.
“Dominion has been forced to expend substantial monetary sums to protect the health and safety of its employees following innumerable death threats from the social media mob that your statements have agitated against Dominion. And your misrepresentations have required the company to incur substantial attorneys’ fees and to mitigate the damage you have inflicted upon Dominion’s reputation.”
In response, Lindell doubled down on his accusations, telling Axios, “I want Dominion to put up their lawsuit because we have 100% evidence that China and other countries used their machines to steal the election."
This comes after Lindell was recently snapped stepping into the West Wing of the White House. The businessman was seen holding a sheaf of paper which many speculated outlined a possible coup attempt. Washington Post photographer Jabin Botsford originally shared the images online, and within seconds, it went viral. “@MyPillowUSA CEO Michael Lindell shows off his notes before going into the West Wing at the White House on Friday, Jan 15, 2021, in Washington, DC,” Botsford posted.
Twitter user Wes Beal, with the handle @wesbeal, said that the papers in Lindell's hands translated as: “NOW as Acting National Security” for an attorney named Colon, who was dubbed at being “up to speed on election issues” and apparently based at “Fort Mead”.
Other visible sentences on the documents were, like, “Insurrection Act now as a result of the assault on the”, “martial law if necessary” and “Move Kash Patel to CIA Acting”. Soon Boycott MyPillow started trending on the internet with one user saying, “No loyal American will ever shop at a retail outlet that carries MyPillow, the official pillow of the insurrection. List them here and BOYCOTT. Retweet. Trump ally Mike Lindell of MyPillow pushes martial law at White House.” “Hi @BedBathBeyond: why are you not only carrying this seditionist's product in your stores, but also giving him a large wall display? Do you support Martial Law and insurrection?” the second user asked.
