Mike Lindell was choked up opening the final day of his “symposium,” claiming that he was “attacked” at his hotel last night. He later claimed it was “Anifa,” but gave no details.

They're also claiming that Antifa is outside trying to break in to the symposium. A reporter present took this video after the claim.

With Mike Lindell’s organizers claiming that “antifia” is trying to infiltrate their event, I decided to go outside, and all I saw in the parking lot were people preaching and deep in song.

I think it's fair to assume Lindell has moved onto hallucinogenics.

Given the 3 day clown show performance and his new legal reality, I think that's the antifa he is referring to.

We should alert the police and pull the security footage from the hotel!

I’m betting “antifa “ is just the prostitute he threw out of the room after not paying trying to get back in for her money.

SHOCKER! Mike Lindell’s Own Cyber Expert Announces His Election Fraud Conspiracies Are Baseless

Mike Lindell’s cyber symposium might be about to take a turn for the worse since the investigative expert he hired apparently cannot confirm the MyPillow chief’s 2020 election conspiracy theories.

The Washington Times reports that Lindell hired cyber expert Josh Merritt to analyze his so-called “irrefutable” evidence that hackers backed by China broke into electronic voting systems and swung the election for President Joe Biden. This comes while Lindell is hosting his three-day cyber symposium in South Dakota, his latest attempt to push his debunked claims that the election was stolen from Donald Trump through mass voter fraud, and the former president will somehow be restored to the White House. There is no mechanism in the country to make that happen.

Wouldn't surprise me at all that he were trying to get out of having to show his "Absolute Proof."

Lindell used a hammer to break through his hotel room wall so he could pop out in the next rooms medicine cabinet to sell a pillow.

The guy in the next room took umbrage at this and called Lindell a nincompoop.

Lindell has secret proof the guy is antifa, but he is not releasing the evidence at this time.
