MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell asks if Fox News is 'in on' a conspiracy against him, despite being one of the biggest advertisers on the network
- MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell went after Fox News in a bizarre radio interview.
- Lindell's company is one of the most frequent advertisers on the network.
- The pillow magnate wondered aloud whether the network was conspiring against him.
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell turned his ire toward Fox News in a bizarre radio interview on Monday.
Lindell, who has grown increasingly outspoken in the aftermath of the 2020 election as he has pushed false claims that it was stolen from President Donald Trump, accused the network of conspiring against him with other nefarious actors.
"I want to say one thing here - here's things that don't make sense," Lindell said, almost shouting after comparing the election to a world war. "Let's just talk about Fox. You're already sued! It's too late to close the gate. The cows are already out of the barn!"
Lindell has framed himself as a crusader seeking to expose what really happened in the 2020 election, telling Insider in February that he was happy to get sued by Dominion Voting Systems and even lose money over his claims of fraud.
In his interview on the "Eric Metaxas Radio Show," Lindell complained that he's unable to go on Fox News to talk about the "absolute proof" he's found, even though similar claims made by the Trump legal team fell short in court in dozens of cases.
"Why can't people go on there and say their free speech then?" Lindell continued in the interview. "You're already sued, Fox. What do you have - are you going to get double sued? What's the matter with you?"
In recent years, Lindell's company has undertaken a substantial role in advertising throughout daytime and evening programming on Fox News, with MyPillow becoming the leading advertiser of the network's most viewed show, "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
As Lindell appeared to get more irritated in between listing off all of the social-media platforms that had taken action against his accounts for spreading misinformation, he questioned whether Fox News was actually getting sued or whether it was a false flag as part of some sort of conspiracy.
"What are they, in on it?" Lindell said. "I don't get it. Is it a fake lawsuit?"
