On Tuesday evening, Illinois Review hosted MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell as the election integrity advocate addressed a packed ballroom in Bolingbrook to discuss his latest initiative as voters prepare for the most consequential election in our nation’s history in November.
Lindell is on a nationwide tour to promote his Election Crime Bureau – an initiative that he has largely self-funded that provides tools and resources to grassroots activists free of charge in an effort to secure elections in communities and cities across the country. To date, Lindell has over 300,000 volunteers nationwide, including in Illinois.
The MyPillow CEO remains a target of the progressive liberals, and his company has lost over $100 million in sales over the last few years as stores including Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond and Kohl’s have pulled MyPillow products off the shelves in protest of Lindell’s election integrity initiatives and for his continued support of President Donald Trump.
But the cancel culture will not stop Lindell, and although he has paid a big price financially, he will not back down, telling the jam packed ballroom of grassroots activists,
“God gave me this platform for such a time as this. We will not stop until we have secured our elections.”
Lindell also entertained the crowd with personal stories about his visits to the White House and the Oval Office, and about the time he gave a speech to over 200 million Americans from the White House Rose Garden as President Trump stood a few feet behind him. Lindell said that his son was shocked to learn that his father would be speaking from the presidential podium, and he could see his dad’s leg shaking on national television as the MyPillow CEO was scribbling notes on a piece of paper while sitting in the front row during President Trump’s nationwide press conference.
The event on Tuesday, which raised $50,000 for the Lindell Offense Fund served as both a fundraiser and as an opportunity to energize the grassroots, who represent the heart and soul of the Illinois Republican Party.
President Trump dominated Super Tuesday, winning more presidential primaries than any other Republican candidate in history – winning 12 of 13 primary races. On Wednesday, Nikki Haley dropped out of the presidential race and skipped out on endorsing President Trump, saying, “I wish him well.”
