MyPillow is auctioning off hundreds of pieces of equipment and subleasing manufacturing space after several shopping networks and major retailers took the company’s products off shelves. …
Major retailers such as Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond and Slumberland Furniture all said they will no longer sell MyPillow products as Lindell continues to falsely claim that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.
“It was a massive, massive cancellation,” Lindell said in a phone interview Monday. “We lost $100 million from attacks by the box stores, the shopping networks, the shopping channels, all of them did cancel culture on us.”
[It’s tough to start complaining about ‘cancel culture’ from the Right after the defenestration of Bud Light, Target, and Disney over the past year. The Right, and especially the populist Right, has embraced boycotts — and that’s what this is. Lindell made himself a target for consumer ire in his very public advocacy for throwing out the 2020 election. He also makes a very good product; I have three MyPillows and love them. But one can’t complain about consumer-market political actions on one hand and advocate for them on the other. — Ed]
