MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said he will “not be erased” by Big Tech and retail stores after Twitter permanently banned him and stores pulled his products from shelves.
“Let the truth be told. If there’s nothing to hide, let’s bring it out so we all can see it. Instead, they’re trying to erase Mike Lindell and erase MyPillow,” Lindell said on Tucker Carlson Tonight Tuesday evening.
“I’m not going to be erased … Any business, churches that supported the [former] president, that’s a whole other issue, they’re being attacked, and they’re getting to be just, you know, canceled.”
Twitter permanently banned Lindell Monday evening “due to repeated violations of our Civil Integrity Policy,” the tech behemoth said. Lindell has been an outspoken supporter of former President Donald Trump and his claims that the 2020 election was “stolen.”
“If they can do it to me, believe me, they can do it to anyone out there, but I’m not backing down. We cannot back down out of fear this time, nobody can … These aren’t real people. These are trolls and bots. The real people will buy the products and will support you. You can’t do this just because they cancel you.”
Bed Bath and Beyond and Kohls both pulled MyPillow products from their stores after claims circulated that Lindell helped fuel the siege of the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Earlier this month, Lindell floated running for governor of Minnesota while boasting that his embrace of Trump’s politics would help him in a potential run.
