A video online shows the moment MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was interrupted by a heckler as he tried to give a live TV interview last week.
The heckler, pretending to be a fan of the Trump supporter, approached him while he was on holiday and called out, "Love you man, you're a true patriot," according to Mediaite.
The man, who goes by @BillRodens on Twitter, later shared the encounter alongside the caption: "Me and Mike Lindell! I love this man!"
Lindell, who was wearing a suit and tie paired with khaki shorts, quickly responded: "I'm live on TV right now."
The man continued to give the MyPillow CEO numerous backhanded sarcastic compliments, telling him: "Don't let the libtards call you names. Don't let them call you an ethically dubious pillow pusher. Don't let them call you a marginally brain-addled corrupt goofball. You're doing great," according to Mediaite.
"Don't let them push you around or call you names like the completely clueless crazy old man who believes everything he sees on the internet," he added.
