Mike Lindell Says ‘Satan’ Rigged Voting Machines in 2020
Mike Lindell has accused “Satan” of rigging the 2020 election against President Donald Trump.
The MyPillow CEO revealed who he thinks was behind the “computer algorithm” that was “controlling” the 2020 election during a press conference outside the Denver courthouse Monday.
“When people ask me that, you’ve never heard me over the last four years bashing the Democrats,” Lindell said. “The people that did this to our country, I believe it’s four: it’s the uniparty, the Deep State, Globalists, and the CCP.”
The man the president has dubbed “THE Pillow Guy” is one of the most outspoken proponents of the conspiracy that the 2020 election was rigged against Trump, spreading the lie that the president actually won the election four years ago.
“We’re in a battle of biblical proportions, of evil and good. This isn’t a party thing. This is a thing for our country and our world,” Lindell claimed.
“And when you say who’s behind it all? Satan, there’s one,” he added. “You know, this is a nation that turned its back on God.”
The CEO claimed that the issue about who has access to these “computer algorithms” that oversee elections is “much bigger than all of us,” and that whatever happens next is “up to God.”
Lindell has been an outspoken advocate of returning to paper ballots, and reiterated this belief on Monday by blaming computers for being too “vulnerable” and having “too many backdoors.”
“By the way everybody, this is local levels too,” he added. “This is school board elections, this is anything done with computer.”
The MAGA loyalist is currently undergoing a defamation trial—which he has dubbed “the trial of the century”—stemming from a 2022 lawsuit filed by Eric Coomer, a former Dominion Voting Systems employee. The trial began Monday.
Coomer alleged that Lindell targeted him in his attack against Dominion, which produces voting machines and election software, the CEO claiming that “Eric, the Dominion guy,” rigged the election in favor of Biden in an “Antifa conference call.”
Lindell told Rolling Stone in an article published Monday that he is testifying to “help save our country,” declaring: “I want these machines gone!”
Lindell is also in an ongoing legal battle with voting systems company Smartmatic after they sued him for defamation in 2022.
“We will not stop until we have paper ballots counted and we’re going to melt down all the voting machines and turn them into prison bars,” Lindell told ABC News in March after being found in contempt by the court for not handing over evidence in the Smartmatic defamation case.
In 2020, Coomer filed a defamation suit against the right-wing media outlet Newsmax for spreading election lies and blaming Dominion, as well as Coomer, of manipulating the results.
The two parties reached a settlement after Newsmax admitted that it “subsequently found no evidence that such allegations were true,” a move Lindell claimed greatly hurt his company.
“Eric Coomer’s settlement with Newsmax has cost MyPillow in sales over $20 million dollars because Newsmax will never have me on to talk about MyPillow products anymore!” the “pillow guy” whined to Rolling Stone, asking “what did I ever do to him?”
Dominion has already won a $787 million lawsuit two years ago against Fox News for promoting lies after the 2020 election.
Susman Godfrey, the firm that represented Dominion, is also in an ongoing suit against a Trump executive order that barred the firm from federal contracts held by its clients, banned employees from federal buildings, and removed their security clearances.
