‘MyPillow Guy’ Mike Lindell Says He’s Filing a ‘Class Action Lawsuit Against All Machines’

One of Donald Trump’s staunchest supporters is Mike Lindell, AKA the MyPillow guy. We’re 15 months out from the 2020 election and Lindell is still pushing the false idea that the election was “rigged” and “stolen.” Dominion Voting Systems is currently suing Lindell for $1.3 billion over his defamatory conspiracy theories and even Fox News has distanced itself from him. But Lindell refuses to stop spreading his lies and has now taken things a step further by vowing to sue machines—all machines.

Lindell appeared at a rally this weekend, stumping for far-right Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, and told the crowd he was filing “a class action lawsuit against all machines.” One might assume he meant voting machines, given his longstanding grudge against them (and indeed, that’s what he insisted to the Daily Beast that he meant) but that’s not what he said. He repeatedly said “all machines.”

“All machines,” according to Lindell, are “defective.”

Lindell’s statement gives off big “suing Skynet” vibes, which are only increased by the fact that he goes on to say: “We’re going to get rid of these machines once and for all, for any election in history.”

Yes, apparently Lindell is not just going to sue all the machines, he’s going to sue all the machines in history, which just sounds like the worst possible Terminator spin-off.

Lindell says he’s been working on the suit for five months and expects it to be officially filed this week. He called it the most important lawsuit in world history and I have to admit, if there were any chance at all that Lindell could successfully ban all machines, he would be right. (Obviously, there isn’t, and he’s a buffoon.)
