ST. PAUL, Minnesota — MyPillow, the company owned by conservative Mike Lindell, is auctioning off equipment online, with Lindell claiming the company has suffered about $100 million in losses because of his conspiratorial claims about the 2020 presidential election.
Lindell blames the company’s losses on a “cancel culture,” saying several major retailers have dropped the product as he continues to insist, without evidence, that the 2020 election was fraudulent, the Milwaukee Star Tribune reports. Among the stores that dropped MyPillow were Walmart, Kohl’s and Wayfair.
“It was a massive, massive cancellation,” Lindell tells the Star Tribune. “We lost $100 million from attacks by the box stores, the shopping networks, the shopping channels, all of them did cancel culture on us.”
The company is auctioning surplus industrial equipment on K-BID Online Auctions, USA Today reports. There are nearly 850 items up for bid, CBS News reports. MyPillow also is subleasing manufacturing space, the Star Tribune reports.
Lindell currently is being sued for defamation by Dominion Voting Systems for $1.3 billion, saying he falsely accused the company of rigging the 2020 presidential election. In April, Fox News reached a $787.5 million settlement with Dominion over how the network promoted lies about the 2020 presidential election to viewers. Lindell was a frequent guest on Fox News.
