On Friday, the inventor and CEO of MyPillow Mike Lindell announced his company will switch 75 percent of their production from making pillows into producing masks during the coronavirus crisis.
Lindell said he is coordinating with the Trump administration on what type of masks might be needed.
“Obviously, we specialize in cotton and we found out different materials that they didn’t want — latex,” Lindell told Fox News. “So, finally, we got the final prototype three days ago.”
The president invited a special guest to speak during his coronavirus task force briefing today: MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.

Media and Political Elites Mock Lindell
But many media elites with blue checkmarks did not like Lindell’s Rose Garden remarks. Even though he had just announced his company would begin producing 50,000 masks a day by the end of the week, Lindell was mocked for sharing his faith and encouraging Americans to look to God during this crisis.
“God gave us grace on November 8, 2016 to change the course we were on,” Lindell said. “God had been taken out of our schools and lives, a nation had turned its back on God. I encourage you to use this time at home to get back in the Word. Read our Bibles and spend time with our families.”

CNN executive editor Ram Ramgopal retweeted a video of Lindell’s remarks, adding, sarcastically, “In case you were wondering what My Pillow is doing in a time of coronavirus.”

Is the punchline that Lindell is converting a 200,000-square-foot factory into a facility to produce millions of masks for American health-care workers? Is this really a “haha” moment?
MSNBC’s Ali Velshi also mocked Lindell:
Trump just called the “My Pillow” guy up to the podium in the Rose Garden. You cannot make this stuff up.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid did the same:
So my Tiger King binge was interrupted by a text saying the CEO of MyPillow is now part of the presidential briefings on COVID19 … please tell me this is a prank.

Palmer Report chimed in:
American hospitals have refrigerator trucks full of dead bodies parked around back, but sure, let’s all hear from the My Pillow guy.

From Mediaite Senior Columnist John Ziegler:
Lets be very clear, Mike Lindell, with whom I was once forced to be on at least an hour-long conference call, is WAY more insane than Trump. It’s not even close. Even Diamond & Silk are far more credible than he is. https://t.co/EqiScTfjuP

Writer Jamie O’Grady tweeted:

Of course Never Trump nitwits Joe Walsh and Bill Kristol joined the Lindell pile-on:
Sounds like all I missed was a “My Pillow” commercial. Cool.

Lindell is a Recovered Drug Addict Whose Faith Saved Him: ‘Jesus showed up, and I did a full surrender’
Lindell is a former drug addict who today helps those recovering from substance abuse. After getting sober, he started MyPillow out of his basement and was transformed by his Christian faith.
“Jesus showed up, and I did a full surrender,” Lindell says.
This is the guy media and political elites want to mock? Even after he pledged to use his company to help his fellow Americans in this desperate time of need?
These people ought to be ashamed of themselves. They’re not.

I love it when the DNC and their filth remind us on a daily basis of their decadent, heartless, clueless and sodomite worthless lives. Build the wall then put them all up against it. Drain the swamp AND clear the sewer at the same time.
Mike Lindell has more class and moxy in his big toe than all those whiny little cowards quoted in the article. He has faced adversity and won. He turned his life around. THIS is what the left mocks. Let one of those cowards come forward with a similar story of survival.
How stupid are these democrats to intentionally miss the point? Mike Lindell was there because he is doing something to help Americans. What are all the complainers doing? Oh, that’s right……..COMPLAINING.
Anyone who had a problem with what this man said, is part of this nation’s problem.

Lindell’s factory is helping he U.S. fight the Chinavirus. All those who are jealous as hell of his success and skill at advertising his product have their noses out of joint.
Would they still attack him if he made fishing tackle ?
They can’t simply say “Thanks for helping.” Since he mentioned Christian faith, he must be attacked. …. Oooooooo ! Frightening !
He said Bible !
THREE BIG CHEERS FOR MIKE LINDELL ! Not for his pillows (I don’t have any…. yet), but for producing the masks.
And an eternity of boos for those liberal swine who bash him for helping the people of the country. And let’s face it, if he was a liberal anti-American, they’d be saying how great he was. Liberals are worse than communists.
The Dems hate religion because you are to only worship them.
t those that do not can sit around on the richer
people’s dime. It will also cancel the need for the Fed to enact MMT
(do no work, pay no taxes, print money).
That’s the plan. It is 100 times cheaper than the plan devised by Congress and it entirely solves the need to shut down the US.
The cure is already out there. It is being denied to those that are
sick by Democrats. I shudder when I think how the medical profession
wants to conduct “clinical trials” where an infected control group dies
off and those receiving the hydroxy chloroquine based drug cocktail skip
off into the sunset – CURED.

The demons worship the state. Any Christian in front of them fills them with rage and hate.
The “Arrogant Media” constitutes a foreign idology paid fro by Globalists. These talking heads were hired by the likes of Murdock who basically destroyed American Radio and TV Entertainment and reformulated it into24/7 anti American politics, along with four decades old shows cut to allow about as much advertising as worn out shows, to fill their pockets by steering unthinking Americans into a socialist/communist second China.

Wow! A private citizen speaks for a couple of minutes about his personal views of his faith, which a vast majority either follow or basically agree and support, and the left goes crazy! Separation of church & state? BS! 1. He’s a private citizen speaking his 1A right of religious freedom. And 2. Separation of C&S means the govt. cannot impose its religious views on the people (see Thomas Jefferson’s letter to the Baptist ministers). like Henry VIII tried to do with the Church of England, I believe. Once again, leave it to the left to distort and pervert our institutions…
i mostly ignore lefty thrash of all types. they are pathetic fools who should get a real job and learn what the real world is like most should be arrested.

The mainstream media (MSM) HATES Trump and they also HATE free enterprise, capitalism, American individualism, and especially the “evil rich!” This guy Mike Lindell is a champion of free enterprise and capitalism and produces an EXCELLENT line of products. He also happens to be a practicing Christian! He is one of the MSM’s favorite target of hate! They (the MSM) are full of $HIT!

Yea…More jerkedoffidness going around in the media. Give it a rest loosers.
Made in USA
He would make a terrible leftist on all 3 counts!
Mike Lindell had a difficult life, as I read some time ago.
He found God and straighten himself out with His help and always is generous with other people.
One great guy and so are his pillows. I have several !

Amen Mike. This is making us slow down. Hopefully it will make people really search themselves and see that only Jesus can give them hope and comfort in this time.

Two successful business individuals who enjoy being sued for misrepresentation.
I’d like to say something nice but you don’t deserve it.
what folks might take issue with is a full blown political endorsement of a president most view as self-serving, dishonest and a con-man that too many have been taken in by, done at a press conference that must be apolitical. While he has a right to say and believe whatever he wants to, the comments were completely inappropriate at a briefing directed at the country at large on a national issue, not a political rally.
