On the right-wing TV channel Newsmax My Pillow, CEO Mike Lindell was repeatedly asked to stop citing conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
Video transcription
HEATHER CHILDERS: Twitter apparently permanently suspended the MyPillow account, the company’s account, after its CEO Mike Lindell used the page, they say, to continue posting. This was when Twitter permanently banned Lindell’s personal account last week. Joining us now to discuss is the founder and CEO of MyPillow and the author of the book “What Are the Odds”, Mike Lindell. Mike, thank you so much for joining us. Welcome.
MIKE LINDELL: Well, thanks for having me.
HEATHER CHILDERS: So what happened? What happened to your Twitter account and company page?
MIKE LINDELL: Well, first, mine was removed because we have all the electoral fraud with these Dominion machines. We have 100% proof, and then when they withdrew about three weeks ago –
BOB SELLERS: Mike– Mike–
MIKE LINDELL: And then [INAUDIBLE] back, my people – I put it – [? was– ?]
BOB SELLERS: Mike, thank you very much. Mike– Mike, you’re talking about machines that we at Newsmax haven’t been able to verify any of these types of claims. We just want people to know that there is nothing significant that we have seen. And let me read you something – although there was some clear evidence of some cases of electoral fraud and electoral irregularities, the election results in all states have been certified, and Newsmax accepts the results as legal and final.

HEATHER CHILDERS: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
BOB SELLERS: – allegations you are making, Mike, because we understand where you are. So, let me ask you this.
MIKE LINDELL: [INAUDIBLE]
BOB SELLERS: Do you think this should be temporary because it seems to be permanent? Could you argue that it is temporary?
MIKE LINDELL: What?
HEATHER CHILDERS: [LAUGHS]
BOB SELLERS: Could you argue that this could be a temporary rather than a permanent ban?
MIKE LINDELL: No. I want it to be permanent because you know what? They did this because I am reviewing all the evidence on Friday of all the electoral fraud with these machines. So, I’m sorry if you think not, but it’s real.
BOB SELLERS: IT’S OK. Mike, can I ask our producers – can we get out of here, please? I don’t want to have to keep thinking about it –
HEATHER CHILDERS: In fact, Mike –
BOB SELLERS: We at Newsmax were unable to verify any of these allegations –
HEATHER CHILDERS: Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
BOB SELLERS: –that you are–
HEATHER CHILDERS: Mike, wait a second. Everyone, wait a second. Mike. Mike, wait a second. Let’s talk a little –
