MyPillow CEO Shut Down By Newsmax Over False Claims

MINNESOTA — Television network Newsmax kept MyPillow founder Mike Lindell from spreading election misinformation Tuesday despite inviting him on as a guest. Lindell appeared on the station less than 24 hours after Twitter suspended his company's account, and a week after his personal Twitter account was suspended.

Asked on Newsmax about being banned from Twitter, Lindell began talking about a debunked conspiracy theory about Dominion Voting Systems machines.

He was quickly cut off by Bob Sellers, however, who informed viewers that there is no evidence to support Lindell's claims. Since December, Newsmax has walked back claims of election fraud after Dominion threatened to sue over false information.

"Well, first mine was taken down because we have all the election fraud with these Dominion machines. We have 100 percent proof. But then they took it down ...," Lindell said.

"Mike, you're talking about machines, that we at Newsmax have not been able to verify any of those kinds of allegations," Sellers interrupted. "We just want to let people know that there's nothing substantive that we've seen. And let me read you something."

Sellers continued:

"While there were some clear evidence of some cases of voter fraud and election irregularities, the election results in every state were certified, and Newsmax accepts the results as legal and final. The courts have also supported that view."

When Lindell refused to move on, Sellers asked his producers to end the segment and eventually walked off the set. Watch the entire clip here.
