President Donald Trump’s endorsement wasn’t enough to power Mike Lindell to the Republican nomination for governor in Minnesota. The former MyPillow CEO is projected to lose to Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth in Tuesday’s Republican primary.
Lindell is a conspiracy theorist and strong supporter of Trump and his outlandish claims that voter fraud corrupted the 2020 presidential election. His advocacy made him a target for a series of defamation lawsuits but won Trump’s support.
“Mike Lindell deserves a BIG WIN IN MINNESOTA today,” Trump said Tuesday on his Truth Social platform. “Nobody has worked harder, and given up so much, in fighting for free and fair Elections.”
Though he had support from the national leader of the Republican Party, Minnesota Republicans wanted someone else to be their standard-bearer in the governor’s race, endorsing health care industry executive Kendall Qualls.
Minnesota Republican Party chairman Alex Plechash said Minnesota Republicans were surprised when Trump endorsed Lindell in July.
“We strongly support the President and his agenda, but Minnesota Republicans must choose the candidate best positioned to defeat Amy Klobuchar,” Plechash said in a statement last month
Mike has gone from snorting cocaine to snorting cocaine cut with baking soda to now snorting baking soda cut with Ajax cleaner. God speed lumpy pillow guy.
Oh darn, the guy who chopped up discarded mattresses and put them in pillows had another setback. Don't worry, I am sure Trump will just appoint him to some important position soon.
haha Republicans are such morons. They voted for a health care industry executive as their "standard bearer" because of course they did. Not this this shitbird would have been better, just sayin'.
In a parallel universe, Billy Mayes is here as the hypeman for Bernie Sanders, and following Bernie's 2 terms, he went on to become governor of Pennsylvania.
