Lindell has been embroiled in legal battles related to false claims he made about the 2020 presidential election.

Mike Lindell, MyPillow CEO, a candidate for Minnesota governor and a notorious ally of Donald Trump, was served with legal documents during a live TV interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Gaylord, Texas, on Thursday.

Lindell was speaking with a reporter from the far-right news outlet One America News when a woman interrupted the interview.

After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.

    This video clip is a perfect analogy for how the rich can treat our legal system. For everyone else, there’s Ice killing Alex Pretti.

              I believe that she was a QAnon true believer, but finally getting disillusioned from that doesn’t somehow redeem her from continuing to be a vile piece of shit in every other possible way.

                I thought I remember reading that she wanted some kind of promotion, maybe a cabinet postition or something but was passed over, so she left that group of grifters to start her own.

                  She wanted to be a senator, but Donny wouldn’t endorse her over some other republican asshole, plus I think she saw some of the Epstein stuff and was offended by it. But that could be just an attempt at revenge for the lack of endorsement

              She still believes all the MAGA nonsense, but her core issues were the Epstein Files and America First, and he just torched both of them. She represents a lot of MAGAs who feel betrayed.

              But if Trump ran again, she would rationalize voting for him again, over even the most reasonable intelligent Democrat.

              What, you mean this? Nah, that was a Spaceball laser the Druish princess stole, not a Druish laser. Besides, I’m not convinced small-arms fire in an atmosphere counts as “space,” even if it is inside a spaceship. And Druidia itself didn’t appear to have any defenses at all, except the air shield.

              “Druish space lasers” are 100% Spaceball propaganda, I guarantee it. Would I lie?

      Maga is so incredibly good at picking the biggest possible losers to rally behind

      I always thought they perhaps started from better candidates, but even after the most simple vetting those candidates somehow fail ideological purity tests ( such as “candidate is great on white supremacy but poor on abortion, NEXT!”) or some other bullshit maga metric, and what remains are people like Mr Lumpy Pillow.

    YO MIKE

    Is your boy Trump helping you out with your legal fees?

    I thought you were going to get a spot in his administration for all the help you gave him.

    I’m sure he’ll get around to it.

    Anyway, have the life you earned, cumstain.

      Is it me, or is there something inherently funny about CPAC being in a place called “Gaylord?”

      It’s such an open look into their way of thinking (and how they want us to think of it too); anyone holding someone on the right accountable to actual law is doing so to weaponize the law against them, due to political ideology and not you know, holding up the law.

      Remember, fascists see ethics as such: law protects but does not bind them, and binds but does not protect anyone outside their preferred in-group.

        Which means that’s exactly what they’re doing when they exercise the law against someone. Every accusation is an admission of guilt.

    Thats awesome! There’s now video proof he was served and he can’t deny he never wasn’t.

    Process servers take note of this. If you want your target to accept the papers, simply have a second person attempting an interview.
