Mike Lindell, president of My Pillow, a die-hard fan of President Trump, said Monday (Jan. 18) that his company recently received a stop-sale notice and that his products will no longer be available at major chains Kohl’s or Bed Bath & Beyond.
I just got off the phone with Bed Bath and Beyond five minutes ago,” Lindell told the media on 18 …… They are taking ‘My Pillow’ off the shelves, and a number of other different stores like Kohl’s are doing the same.”
Bed Bath & Beyond told the press, “We are continually improving our product assortment, which includes plans to offer a range of unique and proprietary private label brands beginning in spring 2021.” The company explained that they pulled the “My Pillow” product because of its “poor sales performance.
However, a company spokeswoman said the decision to stop renewing My Pillow was only a recent one.
Lindell said the actions came after left-wing activist groups like Sleeping Giant urged other companies to stop doing business with him. He spoke of how “they will be afraid that it’s not their fault because they don’t realize that these people are fake and they will say, if you don’t get off the shelf ‘My Pillow,’ we will boycott your store.”
Therefore, Lindell called on all those who support him to visit these stores and tell the managers that they support “My Pillow. He also said his company is currently doing well, with direct sales of his products up 30 to 40 percent since last Friday.
Lindell also raised eyebrows when he visited the White House last week to meet with President Trump. While there, the notes he was holding were photographed and then pictures of those notes were circulated on social media. The notes suggested that Trump declare martial law and also suggested that Kash Patel, chief of staff to acting U.S. Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, be named acting director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Patel was an aide to former U.S. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.). The current director of the CIA is Gina Haspel.
Lindell said the notes contained the advice of a lawyer who was merely the messenger. And he also said martial law was not part of the discussion in the five minutes he met with the president.
Lindell’s product has been canceled since rioters broke into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, the latest punitive measure taken against Trump and his supporters. President Trump has been banned from social media platforms and cut off from some banks, while some Trump supporters have been banned from Twitter and others have been fired from their employers.
The “sleeping giant” is still running some campaigns. They are putting pressure on right-wing companies and websites to drop their conservative and right-wing rhetoric. On Twitter, the group trumpeted the news that Bed Bath & Beyond and Kohl’s had taken down “My Pillow,” claiming that Lindell had caused the Capitol incident by questioning the outcome of the 2020 election.
