'My Pillow' CEO's Comments At White house Coronavirus Press Conference Triggers The Left

Keneci Channel.

Leftists took to social media Monday to express outrage and mock Mike Lindell, the popular founder of My Pillow after his brief remarks at a White house wuhanvirus pandemic press conference.

Lindell was at the White house for a meeting President Trump had with several business executives who are joining the effort to combat the wuhanvirus pandemic. He re-purposed 75% of his company's production capacity to mass-produce masks for hospitals.

President Trump likes to call up his guests to speak at these press conferences. And of course he introduced the My Pillow founder.

Towards the end of his remarks, Lindel said, "God gave us grace on November 8, 2016, to change the course we were on....God had been taken out of our schools and lives, a nation had turned its back on God. I encourage you to use this time at home to get back in the word. Read our Bible and spend time with our families."

CNN abruptly cut away from the press conference as the My Pillow CEO began to speak. A sure sign that the far left zealots at the network were extremely triggered.

Left-wing critics didn't like what he had to say or the fact that he was at the press conference at all. They took to twitter to mock him.

Liberal MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski tweeted, "Is that the my pillow guy?? Do I need to turn the volume up. I was waiting for the doctors."

CNN's Dean Obeidallah tweeted, "Trump now has the guy from My Pillow doing a campaign commercial for Trump's 2020 campaign in the middle of a press conference about a deadly virus. How can any real news network air this BS?! #StopAiringTrump."

"Trump just called the 'My Pillow' guy up to the podium in the Rose Garden. You cannot make this stuff up," MSNBC's Ali Velshi announced to his followers.

In a sign of how unhinged it can get on the left, former MSNBC host Toure who was also mocking Lindell, was himself attacked by his comrades for tweeting, "I hate to say it but yes My Pillow is a good pillow. I’ve never woken up with a sore neck."

Reacting to the attacks from his own side, Toure tweeted, "People are mad that I conceded that MyPillow is indeed a good pillow. Huh? We in here talkin about a pillow? Not a policy, not a policy. But a pillow. Seriously, it’s not a political difference. It’s a pillow. But do you." Well Toure found out he is in a fever swamp with unhinged comrades.

Lindell had his supporters. Sane people who see a man who has just virtually offered up his company's capacity to combat the wuhanvirus outbreak. Jessica Fletcher tweeted, "I literally don’t know what a MyPillow is (aside from a pillow of sorts obviously), but I’m going to buy one today and hope it takes 4 months to get here because they are too busy making masks for our first responders."

Susan Paul tweeted, "Even on a normal day, Mike Lindell and his company, My Pillow, step up for America. Several years ago, my daughter asked them if they could help with washable pillows for her local homeless shelter. They asked where and how many — followed up by sending 300 pillows. @MyPillowUS"

Responding to the criticisms, Lindell said on Fox business Tuesday, “This isn’t a political thing....We’ve gotta get back to God and pray. … I’m so thankful everybody from all walks of life and all sides of the political aisle did get behind it against this, this evil media that’s out there. … I don’t even know why they do that. I can’t explain it. I don’t know Jim Acosta. I’ve never met him before.”

The My Pillow CEO was referring to CNN's leftist reporter Jim Acosta who charged that Lindell was using the press conference to advertise his company.

By the end of the day, many rallied behind Lindell on social media with hundreds of thousands of posts thanking him for his contribution to combating the wuhanvirus pandemic.
