MyPillow CEO says aggressive poke led to attack claim

August 13, 2021

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — MyPillow chief executive Mike Lindell says he was aggressively poked by someone seeking a selfie in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, this week, which led him to say he was attacked.

Lindell, who hosted an election fraud symposium in the city this week, told the conservative talk show FlashPoint that he was approached by a man who wanted a photo on Wednesday night.

“He put his arm around and stuck his finger, it was so much pressure, I just knew if I did anything something more was coming,” Lindell said, gesturing to his side. “He jammed it in where it was just piercing pain.”

Lindell had told the crowd Thursday at the election fraud symposium that said he was still in pain and wanted everyone to know about the evil in the world, the Sioux Falls Argus Leader reported.

1. He is mentally ill.

I would not be surprised if there is a serious mental crisis in the near future, one requiring hospitalization. The man is very sick.

5. For whatever reason, he overplayed his hand and now the walls are collapsing in on him.

To claim a poke was an attack sounds like a Karen move.

4. "Aggressive Poking: The Underreported Crime"

I'm sure Fox or OAN or Newsmax or Alex Jones is going to have an expose shortly about this new crime epidemic sweeping the country. No one is safe. Roving gangs of aggressive pokers have been reported in all major cities. Be afraid.

6. So a fan, seeking a selfie, bumps into the man and it becomes an Antifa attack.

That sounds about right. Hey! Mike! poke this .!.

7. OK but where is the data?
