Despite months of promising to file an explosive lawsuit that would pull down the 2020 presidential election results and reinstate Donald Trump to the White House, pillow-monger Mike Lindell has instead turned his election-fraud-athon into a four-day sales promotion.

I want to show you guys some Black Friday specials that were doing with MyPillow, Lindell said Friday morning, rattling off sales for pillows and sheets. Thats the lowest price in history.

He then went off on a long explanation of why his sheets were made overseas from Egyptian cotton rather than U.S.-grown cotton, with Save up to 66% off over 110 products displayed on-screen below him.

Were doing stuff thats over the top to put stuff on sale for Black Friday, Lindell said.

Lindell has been claiming since summer that he was coordinating a lawsuit among tons of state attorneys general, as many as 30, to be filed at 9 a.m. Tuesday directly with the U.S. Supreme Court and that he would spend the long Thanksgiving weekend explaining the suit during an ad-free webcast.

Instead, no lawsuit has been filed, and the show, which featured the same lies about the election Lindell has been spreading for a year, prominently featured Lindells pillow ads with its own promo code.

Were offering the best gifts ever for the best prices ever, Lindell promised in a frequently repeated ad.

His co-host on Lindell TV, Brannon Houze, even explained the purpose of the promo code it was giving: Thats how well know whos watching our 96-hour Thanks-athon.

Lindell, an informal adviser to Trump who took a memo recommending the declaration of martial law to the White House in the final days of Trumps presidency, did not respond to HuffPost queries about his failure to file the suit and the airing of advertising during his marathon webcast despite saying that he would not.

In recent days, Lindell has been claiming that the attorneys general who were going to sign on to his suit were pressured out of doing so by Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel.

Ronna McDaniel better resign today, he said Thursday.

An RNC spokesperson said McDaniel had nothing to do with Lindells failure to get attorneys general to sign on to his Supreme Court complaint. (As of late Friday, McDaniel also had not resigned.)

On Friday, Lindell appeared on Trump adviser Steve Bannons podcast, where he was asked: Where do we stand with these AGs?

Lindell did not bring up McDaniel and instead said that only one attorney general, Republican Steve Marshall of Alabama, had definitively refused to be involved in the lawsuit. Most of them have said, Mike, lets get together after this Thanksgiving week, he told Bannon.
