Mike Lindell hands out "free" pillows to Ian victims, then asks fans to pay for his donations (video) [1]

['Carla Sinclair']

Date: 2022-10-14

Pillow peddler Mike Lindell did more than send his thoughts and prayers to victims of Hurricane Ian — he also promoted his MyPillow "bible pillows" on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast while standing in front of a destroyed house in Florida.

Although the former advisor to twice-impeached Donald Trump did supposedly hand out thousands of pillows to people in Florida who lost their homes, that's a cheap price to pay for a live commercial in front of millions of MAGA viewers. Especially when he's asking said viewers to pay for his publicity stunt.

"I just want to say this — we put these up on the War Room square on mypillow.com," he said, holding up the churchly product. "So they [viewers] can get themselves one and it helps support everything today, using the promo code 'War Room.'" Because in MAGA world, charity doesn't come for free.
