Newsmax Anchor Flees Air After Mike Lindell Won’t Shut Up About Nonexistent Voter Fraud (Video) – By Samson Amore (The Wrap) / Feb 2 2021
On Tuesday, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell made an appearance on Newsmax’s “American Agenda” to help the network advance disingenuous claims of “cancel culture” inspired by the recent suspension of his Twitter account.
But unfortunately Lindell — a conspiracy theorist who supported the violent insurrection incited by Donald Trump — was unable to refrain from shouting the kinds of lies that got him kicked off the social media site in the first place. And it got to the point that one of the show’s co-hosts just walked off in the middle of the interview after several unsuccessful attempts to save Lindell — and Newsmax — from himself.
Now, Lindell was banned from Twitter in late January for continuing to spread conspiracy theories and lies about the 2020 election, and when he subsequently tried to use the MyPillow account to accuse Twitter of being actively involved in that nonexistent fraud, Twitter suspended that as well. Despite how cut and dry the matter is, “American Agenda” apparently decided he’d be the right person to have on air to discuss “cancel culture.” And well, that sort of backfired.
“What happened with your Twitter account and the company pages,” “American Agenda” cohost Heather Childers asked.
