Aiexpress – According to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, his memoir has been banned from “every bookstore in the country,” including an online Christian book site.
Mike Lindell, the founder of MyPillow in 2004, has gained significant attention as a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump. He has openly endorsed Trump’s baseless allegations of voter fraud following Trump’s defeat to President Joe Biden in 2020. As a consequence of his vocal support for Trump, Lindell’s company has experienced a decline in partnerships with major retailers such as Kohl’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Walmart. Lindell maintains that this decrease in business is a direct result of his unwavering support for the former president.
During his appearance on Steve Bannon’s WarRoom podcast on Monday, Lindell discussed his memoir, What Are the Odds? He mentioned that listeners who made purchases on Bannon’s website in the recent days would receive a complimentary signed copy of his book. Described as a “raw, authentic account,” Lindell’s memoir chronicles his personal journey from struggling with drug addiction to establishing his own successful company.
During his conversation with Bannon, Lindell shared that his book recounts his personal journey “from being a crack addict to Jesus.” He emphasized that he made a conscious decision to “surrender to Jesus Christ” and embraced the Christian faith exactly seven years ago on that particular Sunday. Lindell even proudly displayed a page from his book featuring a photo of himself alongside Trump, referring to him as “the real president.”
“I didn’t change, our country changed,” Lindell declared, emphasizing that he remains the same person he was before all the events unfolded. Despite this, he finds himself under constant attack on a daily basis.
Steve, I have something to tell you. Did you know that my book has been banned from every bookstore in the country? Yes, every single one of them, including Christianbook.com. It’s been banned by everyone.
Christianbook, which began in 1987, offers a wide range of faith-based products in both print and online formats. When contacted by Newsweek via email, the company was asked to provide a comment regarding Lindell’s statement.
During previous interviews on WarRoom, Lindell revealed to Bannon that certain companies have distanced themselves from his brands due to their unwillingness to be linked to his name. Additionally, Lindell’s endorsement of Trump’s unverified election fraud allegations has resulted in legal and financial troubles of his own, such as the defamation lawsuit filed against him by Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems, the voting machine companies.
According to a source close to the matter, MyPillow faced a temporary suspension as an advertiser on Fox News. However, the reason behind this suspension was clarified by Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow. He stated that the company’s television ads were not aired due to non-payment, contrary to the claims made in January. Despite this setback, MyPillow’s advertisements have recently made a comeback on Fox News.
