Hopefully this will be a lesson to multiple people, including President Donald Trump. There is no room for softness on the topic of deporting illegal aliens.
In one of the biggest examples of a mistake in Republican campaigning, three weeks before the primary election Minnesota Governor candidate Mike Lindell made the fatal mistake of advocating for greater leniency for illegal aliens, with inferred amnesty in his immigration platform. The backlash was fierce, righteous and directly targeted. Lindell was blasted.
Last night, despite the support and endorsement from President Trump, Lindell was resoundingly defeated by Lisa Demuth, the speaker of the Minnesota House.

Lindell cooked himself. Now he has no job.
Well he does still make pillows and such but I wonder how many people will be inclined to purchase them after his wobbly comments.
I’m gonna reconsider my “my slippers” order. I put some Canadanian tomatoes pack on the shelf the other day. Don’t get me started on “The Odyssey”.
The slippers are really excellent. Go ahead and purchase them. Not everything in life is political.
I have a 4 year old pair but can’t get them replaced.
They’re always out of stock.
The last time I looked, they did not come in a size 15. Too bad!
Unfortunately, that movie just made over a billion dollars.
He left the My Pillow CEO position.
Still on the Board of Directors and a minority ownership position:
On Tuesday, MyPillow announced that Lindell has stepped down as CEO after 22 years and reduced his ownership to a minority stake as he shifts his focus to the Minnesota governor’s race.
Lindell will remain a shareholder and a member of the company’s board of directors.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/mypillow-guy-mike-lindell-resigns-180018954.html
he is retirement age, he won’t be hurting.
A Bud Light moment for Lindell? We will have to wait and see.
I have needed to replace my My Pillow towels, sheets, and bed topper for a while now.
After the Epstein Files exposure that Steve Bannon plotted with Epstein to take down PDJT, I watched to see who continued to go onto the Bannon War Room show. Lindell did. I gave him some slack because candidates need to reach people for votes.
When I heard his comments about his New Kind of Amnesty (yeah, right) that’s when I decided that he will never get another dime from me. He didn’t even have the political smarts to lie to MAGA and then betray us after he was sworn in.
Deporting illegals is paramount to save this country. They need to go home by their own volition or else with our assistance. Period.
My husband likes my pillow, but I do all down, much more comfortable
As someone who WAS going to vote for Mike yesterday and then “declined the opportunity” I understand your frustration with his comments. And maybe this is stupid thinking, but I will (1) no longer support Mike politically AND simultaneously (2) intend to purchase products from him, as I have in the past.
I separate his political statements from how he runs his business. But if he goes fully over to the dark side on the illegal issue, then I am done supporting his business.
Side note: does anyone else find it demoralizing to realize you are simply voting against candidates at nearly every election?
I think someone got to him.
Didn’t the feds target him a few years back? “Nice little freedom you there ole Mike. Would be a shame if you “suddenly” got indicted…”
Yep, his own ego. How many other politicians has this happened to? I’d say, countless. Every one is so busy stroking their own ego they can no longer hear their constituents (The People) nor figure out how (or want to) pass a law that would be beneficial.
Or he’s a victim of the Stockholm Syndrome, tortured and beaten by the left for so long that he now identifies with them.
BTW, his pillows sucked anyway.
Mike Lindell goes wobbly, gets defeated.
Next!
That was not wobbly. It was a clear statement. The voters responded.
The mother of idiots is always pregnant.
That has me ROFL !! Never heard that one !! lol
Yeah that made zero sense.
What is Demuth’s position on this issue?
Does any Republican candidate have a prayer in Minnesotastan?
“I will work with the federal government to deport criminal illegal immigrants instead of giving them amnesty,” she said.
Thanks! I wonder what her definition of criminal is.
Criminal illegal “immigrants “ is a redundant statement. They are all criminals.
“ Depends on what your definition of “ is “ is “ . Golden rule #1 : everything a Democrat says is opposite the truth !
She’ll say anything. She also said she’d abide by the endorsement, until she didn’t get it. The Tuxedo Underdogs were going to eke out a way to lose to the commie of the year no matter what.
Not giving Lindell a pass for putting his foot in it but this has the usual rino stench all over it.
💯🎯
Everything a Democrat says : Is opposite the truth ! Take it to the bank
we have to assume he believed that was a “middle position” for a state like MN… unfortunately i don’t think he would’ve had a chance there either way, so there is little reason to sell out your principles.
They misread the crowd… However, nice pillows!
Does anybody have the discount code?
It’s: unemployed
JOEDAN
I listed to Mike’s audio book on a long road trip. I liked the book & Mike. I was skeptical about Mike running for office and that skepticism bore some rotten fruit. Did Mike go senile?
Too bad!
But weakness in a war…..and WE ARE IN A WAR……is no way to win!
Mike should have listened and followed Trump who is a PROVEN WINNER even when every possible thing is put up against him….he still wins!
Mike either stopped paying attention…..or focused too much on himself…..it’s not about personalities…..and it’s not politics!
In a war….you strategies and you plan with many options…..but there is one focus and all those options are intended to bring victory…..sway outside of that……and the probability of loss goes up!
We ARE in a war on many fronts. And I dare say most people simply do not understand this.
All the forces of evil have amassed.
We are on the battlefield.
Armour up.
There goes your pillow business.
indeed… he teed off the marxists when he stood to be counted against the 2020 coup of the republic, and now he as isolated the right with this misguided attempt to walk the fence in a blue state he had no chance in anyway.
I think it’s a shame everyone is dancing on his grave.
At least he got in the arena.
Yeah. He screwed up on immigration. Maybe his big heart got in the way.
I’m grateful for his rare courage on 2020 and wish him well.
I’ve said before that MAGA is bigger than the president, despite what he thinks or whom he endorses. You do not ‘Make America Great Again’ by rewarding lawlessness, no matter how many hoops you surround it with for people to jump through. It stands to reason that if America was great before (it was), it wasn’t due to rationalizing and encouraging mass illegal immigration. So doing it now has nothing to do with making America great again.
As I’ve posted, Mike was not ready for prime time, and now that he’s more fully revealed his inclinations, I think he’s best positioned selling mattress covers and pillows and supporting conservative efforts from the sidelines.
It’s not like the party is hurting for more RINO-lite members.

There is something about a ShamWow personality that turns people off and Mike Lindell has an abundance of ShamWow. He has never been electable.
Agreed.
Also, he’s a “nice enough guy” alright…but we’re not looking for “nice.”
Right? His vibe (sorry for resorting to that word, but it just fits) has always been a turnoff for me. Used-car energy or something. I did my best to disregard it in light of his fight for election integrity, but it was always hard-going.
“Reach across the aisle!” Get your hand cut off!
“We must compromise with the other side!” You must sell 100% of your souls to Satan!
“We can work together to help America!” You will end up supporting the destruction of America!
You CANNOT do anything with the Communists because they are COMMUNISTS!
Mike Lindell apparently thought he could “broaden his base” and show that he was willing “to work with the other side” by playing footsy with amnesty.
And so his foot was cut off…and rightly so!
Mike should hav stayed with the slippers and not gone to the flip -flops.
Wordman ™ worthy!
The strength of Mike is on the pursuit of greater integrity in
elections
and
an ability to
improvise a business model
to survive when
the c-dems seek to
destroy with its influence operations.
Yes, in Mn. somali / fraud land, the latest amnesty notion might have been a tactic to pull votes from c-dem Klob nocker in the general elec
( but Klob was not in the gop primary ).
Did the c-dems have a primary in mn.? Or is Klob pre-annointed…?
Lady vs Lady in Mn, for gov….?
( while the news on fraud and illegals arrests in mn. is on hold or made quiet – as election season nears?
Or is something quietly happening…besset etal squeezing down the miss funding ( of fraud ) levers..? )
I do not know
The truth will out. Another wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Another of Bannon’s protégés. How much of his custom came from the Warroom posse? I bought several of his pillows to help keep his business going.
I send his campaign some coin! I’m throwing money away on “Maga” candidates.
It appears the desire to “win” in so many politicians overrides common sense, and the backbone to do the right thing becomes jelly.
His amnesty plan was softer than his pillows.
Dumbest damned move.
I supported him through his trials and travails.
Bought a bunch of his sheets, slippers, pillows, etc. (most of which I don’t even use). We do not need more two-faced scum parading as MAGA.
MAGA is America First— not India, Somalia, Haiti —while we are at it.
Big-bye Loser.
Subsidize your own work force with Americans!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
As a born again Christian who survived addiction, Mike got 2nd chances & he believes everyone should have the same.
Unfortunately he’s wrong about the path to a 2nd chance. Mistakes must be corrected & then the correct path must be pursued. That means illegal alien squatters must leave & apply to return legally. No amnesty of any kind, ever again can be tolerated.
Let this be a lesson to him so he can get past his suicidal empathy.
His immigration stance was soft as a pillow.
Hope he “leared” his lesson.
Good. No full amnesty. No six-month amnesty. Deporting illegals is the ONLY right answer.
I live in MN and I am guessing most of his employees are immigrants as white kids don’t want to work.
Most of his employees are recovering addicts.
White kids don’t want to work is a broad generalization for which there is no supporting data supplied. I suspect that the truth of the matter is far more nuanced.
We just need Miriam Adelson to get behind the no illegals and election integrity bandwagon.
Lol. Slick has a pet raccoon.
Beautiful Post as always, Sundance!
Mike is a good guy AND made a very bad position and got smacked by MAGA.
Mike works in a place (owns it actually) that probably hires illegal people, pillow factory, and has made friends with some of his employee’s, and from “heart” place, wanted to be “nice” to those people. Illegals!
But, Mike didn’t think of the BIG PICTURE, having 21-30 million unvetted people coming into country , many people that have “bad” hearts, and preying on regular US citizens is not good for the country.
Love Mike, but his “heart” was not looking at the big picture.
Sundance is Smashing home the TRUTH , as always. SAVE America (ACT) … to save our country.
Thanks Again Sundance.
Any data, evidence, proof whatsoever of your claim that My Pillow Inc. hires illegal aliens?
A few years back I went to one of the factory here in Minnesota. Yes, I saw what appeared to me to be many foreign people. All seemed to be happy, even spoke to a couple.
In my opinion, to many people posting on this story are of closed mind and not aware of the real story.
Sorry to say I can not agree with Sundance’s position on this.
Food for thought from a spiritual angle…”thou shalt not steal”…the illegals are stealing, by being here. Being grateful for second chances, I get it….Making “nice” to criminals?
I am actually going to cut him just a little slack. I think this is his moral conviction on this matter and he didn’t compromise on his values. We need more of that. Are his convictions correct? That’s another argument. Will they put him in office? Not hardly.
In the SW burbs of Chicago…there are illegals that have been here since the 1970’s and, ahora, la abuela no hable engles…after all this time.
….there is no shortage of immigration attorneys on Pulaski…almost every street corner. It can be fixed if there is the will to do it, correctly, legally.
“Sanctuary City” was the first black Chicago mayor’s initiative….ain’t no one gonna mess with that one. But this is IL not MN.
Lindell supported the criminal conquest and colonization of America and he DESERVED to lose. Good riddance.
But they make great pillows!! And I did send him money to fight the Venezuelan voting machines but that ends all that ! Wow dude you must be back on that crack !!
This is NOT about “kindness.” We came awfully close to a dreadful mistake by almost having Lindell as governor of Minnesota. He’s not a bad guy, I think he just doesn’t understand and is therefore not qualified to be governor. I respect the LIARS who know what they are doing is wrong more than stupid people who think they are doing good. The latter is far more dangerous.
LIARS who know what they are doing is wrong
more than
stupid people who think they are doing good.
..which one is klob nocker?
(ans. at times, both? …but the c-omplicit reporters shy from saying so..?)
I do not know
People know…
Looking across the ‘MAGA’ information sphere Lindell funds a whole lot of them. Shows on RSBN, OAN, RAV, countless podcasts exist on his ads. Can’t even count how many, ones most here have never heard of.
And many, like Bannon, are probably controlled op. Not all. But many.
I’ve always suspected Lindell to be a stand in for the real money source, a proxy. I don’t care how many MyPillow’s he’s sold you don’t become wealthy enough to sprinkle the kind of money around that he sprinkles just from that business. Sorry, I don’t buy it. Successful, sure. But not that successful.
And remember all his tic-toc revelations like the one that Tina Peters took a fall for. He always “has the receipts.” That he NEVER has shown.
Something is off with him, his story. I credit him where credit is due, he funded platforms that I was glad to hear from, that helped keep light and hope alive in some very dark moments following 2020. But so much of it turned out to be nothing but hopium. And his willingness to step into a stinking pile of amnesty poop was the stupidest self-immolation I think I ever saw in politics. Never made sense.
When so many things don’t make sense in someone’s story something is wrong with that someone not being who they say they are.
When we said no rewards for illegals we meant it. I still voted for him because he was the lesser of the evils running.
Plugging my nose and voting for the lesser damage has become a normal way of life in Minnesota. MN GOP keep proping up duds.
I used to highly respect Mike Lindell and thought that he was more intelligent than that.
Sad to see him destroy his own character like that.
It would not surprise me in the least if his stance towards Illegal Aliens causes MAGA to stop buying his products.
Does this mean he will no longer be giving out My Pillow “PROMO CODES”? /s
The illegals are the new middle class. They are flush with our money. The replacements will keep him in business.
big sales to move a sluggish inventory.
This was a fascinating result to me. The land of the un-ending ICE protests turned out against the amnesty-promoter. Need any more proof that those protests aren’t organic? I’ll bet the dems are crying about this result, because he would have been so much easier to defeat in the general election. Will be interesting to see how much money comes pouring into the state from the Republican party now.
Hey President Trump and Lindell, do you hear us now? Evidently, he’s been to the chambers because he’s stated several times when they, congress, walk through those doors, they lose what the people want.
What a moron. He essentially spit on Trump’s endorsement. We dodged that betrayal.
I will NOT be purchasing any of his products anymore!
This happend to a guy my age who lived not far from me.
Venezuelan illegal migrant identified in fatal stabbing of 68-year-old California retiree
Can you hear us now, Markwayne Mullin??????
That’s Milquetoast Mullin for those paying closer attention.
Maybe he is Jeff Sessions’ secret son.
Good pillows; bad policy.
He now has plenty of unsold pillows to cry into.
What a stupid thing he said.
Lindell’s well intentioned, but too stupid for what is now required.
There are certain core beliefs that are not negotiable – no amnesty is one of them.
Stick to pillows, Mike.
Lindell is a businessman. Most businessmen love illegal alien labor because it means they don’t have to pay as much in wages or taxes. He let his mask slip on that issue and he lost the election.
If Lindell loves illegals that much, then force him onto the next plane for Somalia. Throw Elon Musk on there with him. I haven’t forgotten Elon telling the American people to “take a big step back and f**k your own face” rather than stop the H1B slave program. All these globalist douchebags need to take their third-world mentality and go live in a third-world country.
He can rest easy now, on one of his pillows.
Totally self inflicted. At least it was not a huge cost for the GOP to learn this lesson.
Back to the pillow factory for him
For an additional 11% off your vote tally use PROMO CODE “Si Senor”
it was always Lindell’s plan to sabotage Trump and this administration. All that time on WarRoom should be the first clue. Now it’s back to pillows.
he didn’t come up with this stupid crap himself. His “team” likely did and he went along with it. He makes good pillows and great sheets too, but he’s clueless on how wicked and backstabbing the political world is.
All of these GOP political consultants that are always pushing “the center” are there to torpedo whatever campaign they are working for. For every precious “moderate” vote you pick-up in the center, you lose thousands of true conservatives. I have always believed it’s an intentional strategy implemented by creepy backstabbers. Any real conservative that takes the bait on that hustle deserves to lose and never be heard from again.
We, the American people, are under invasion. This is a war within.
