Springfield News-Leader

A weekend-long conference hosted by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and focused on conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 election kicked off Saturday morning in Springfield.

A few hundred people filed into the Springfield Expo Center to hear from Lindell, an ally of former President Donald Trump who has garnered national notoriety for his repeated claims of election fraud. Those claims have been debunked by election officials across the country and earned him legal sanctions over "frivolous" lawsuits against election systems companies.

Lindell has touted the event as his most significant yet, since before details were announced. He previously called it "the most important event in our lifetimes." Invites were sent to "grassroots" individuals and groups around the country, he said, and the weekend's events are being livestreamed on Lindell's website.

"The only way this weekend fails is if nobody watches," Lindell said in his opening remarks Saturday.

When I tuned in, there were....129 viewers online.

Most of the "evidence" was actually fringe candidates complaining that REPUBLICANS had rigged Primary elections against them.

1. I'm thinking that this has been a targeted marketing scam to sell his pillows.

Seems like he's losing, bigly.

2. In Springfield?

Only a few hundred showed up?

I think SW Missouri should be a very friendly place for them. Not good.

3. Isn't he bankrupt?

Where are the people with the large butterfly nets?
