Mike Lindell, the founder of MyPillow and a prominent ally of former President Donald Trump, was suspended from Twitter for promoting election conspiracies. A host on the conservative channel Newsmax recently walked out of an interview as the pillow salesman spouted off lies. Major retailers have begun dropping his product, and lawyers have threatened him with imminent defamation suits over his baseless allegations.

But Lindell is still pushing the debunked and dangerous claim that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, most recently in a two-hour video that he paid far-right channel One America News Network to air for 12 hours straight on Friday.

The video, called Absolute Truth (which was apparently mistakenly uploaded to YouTube as Absolue Truth), is a two-hour cavalcade of conspiracies about election fraud featuring delusional claims and discredited guests, such as Rudy Giulianis nationally mocked witness Melissa Carone. Lindell careens through baseless allegations with infomercial pitchman energy, interspersed with stock footage including arms bearing a hammer and sickle to represent Communism.

This is an attack not only on those other countries with Communism, but they had domestic traitors right here in our country. Whatever is going on right now were seeing it, theyre suppressing cancel culture, theyre trying to cancel us all out. Ive just seen churches, Christian churches, theyre being attacked, Lindell says frantically, as the video cuts between him and an animation of a rubber stamp that says cancelled.
