MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell served with legal documents during live TV interview
Lindell has been embroiled in legal battles related to false claims he made about the 2020 presidential election.
Mike Lindell, MyPillow CEO, a candidate for Minnesota governor and a notorious ally of Donald Trump, was served with legal documents during a live TV interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Gaylord, Texas, on Thursday.
Lindell was speaking with a reporter from the far-right news outlet One America News when a woman interrupted the interview.
After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.

Maga is so incredibly good at picking the biggest possible losers to rally behind
"Keep still, Their vision is based on morons."
Theyve got the pillow guy, the couch guy, and the kid raper. Fun group.
And the puppy killer, and the douchy podcaster, and the richest man in the world that can't stop acting like he's on 4chan, Jewish space lasers lady, the woman that married the guy that exposed himself to her as a minor, and Ted Cruz
Jewish space lasers lady rage-quit because she finally got it through her dumbass skull that pedo-in-chief wasn't actually going after the pedos.
Yeah, I don't believe her. I think it's just a different grift, not a genuine change of heart.
I believe that she was a QAnon true believer, but finally getting disillusioned from that doesn't somehow redeem her from continuing to be a vile piece of shit in every other possible way.
I thought I remember reading that she wanted some kind of promotion, maybe a cabinet postition or something but was passed over, so she left that group of grifters to start her own.
She wanted to be a senator, but Donny wouldn’t endorse her over some other republican asshole, plus I think she saw some of the Epstein stuff and was offended by it. But that could be just an attempt at revenge for the lack of endorsement
She still believes all the MAGA nonsense, but her core issues were the Epstein Files and America First, and he just torched both of them. She represents a lot of MAGAs who feel betrayed.
But if Trump ran again, she would rationalize voting for him again, over even the most reasonable intelligent Democrat.
well also we all saw the space balls documentary so we know they are real.
What, you mean this? Nah, that was a Spaceball laser the Druish princess stole, not a Druish laser. Besides, I'm not convinced small-arms fire in an atmosphere counts as "space," even if it is inside a spaceship. And Druidia itself didn't appear to have any defenses at all, except the air shield.
"Druish space lasers" are 100% Spaceball propaganda, I guarantee it. Would I lie?
It just gets funner...
And whatever these two weirdos are.
Those hands in the middle, though. I can't take my eyes off them. It's like they're telling another, different story.
losers with no morals know that there is no easier, self-selecting mark for scams than the maga cult
They have no best to send.
But somehow they always find a way to lower the bar
Yeah there's really no best. It's just whoever is willing to make a fool of themselves on a national level and potentially go to prison.
And then dumping them into the river the second the Orange Jackass is done using them.
No need to wait, I assure you.
White supremacists in general.
Very cool user name, downward spiral is one of my top 5 personal favorite albums.
Same. Cheers!
NIN gang rise up! Fragile is one of my all time favorite albums.
Finally got to see them a couple weeks ago. Cool show.
Nice, I caught them a couple of times around With Teeth and had a blast!
I always thought they perhaps started from better candidates, but even after the most simple vetting those candidates somehow fail ideological purity tests ( such as "candidate is great on white supremacy but poor on abortion, NEXT!") or some other bullshit maga metric, and what remains are people like Mr Lumpy Pillow.
Ah yes, because professional process servers are "deranged leftists" now.
Oh god please let him get held in contempt for failure to appear 🤣
It’s such an open look into their way of thinking (and how they want us to think of it too); anyone holding someone on the right accountable to actual law is doing so to weaponize the law against them, due to political ideology and not you know, holding up the law.
Remember, fascists see ethics as such: law protects but does not bind them, and binds but does not protect anyone outside their preferred in-group.
Which means that's exactly what they're doing when they exercise the law against someone. Every accusation is an admission of guilt.
"What they're doing is illegal!"
"Sir, you're being served with papers for a crime you've committed"
"I don't have time for this, I'm on TV!"
Fool. He accepted the papers. No one cares that he then littered. She won.
can she prove it? Hard to say, if only he was on TV
Thats awesome! There's now video proof he was served and he can't deny he never wasn't.
Process servers take note of this. If you want your target to accept the papers, simply have a second person attempting an interview.
...only to pick the documents off the floor when the cameras were off.
Sure. He isn't an idiot. He just plays one professionally for morons. Oh, he's also an idiot.
YO MIKE
Is your boy Trump helping you out with your legal fees?
I thought you were going to get a spot in his administration for all the help you gave him.
I'm sure he'll get around to it.
Anyway, have the life you earned, cumstain.
He reminds me of Charlie's creepy lawyer uncle on Sunny! Little thiccer in the midsection but there you have it
Pillow CEO in legal trouble in conservative conference in Gaylord, Texas.. Man this timeline just getting lazy
Is it me, or is there something inherently funny about CPAC being in a place called "Gaylord?"
I'd like to see the traffic for Grindr there this week.
Run real fast and do equations in your head, Morty!
Poor Mike went from snorting cocaine to now snorting Ajax cleaner cut with Ajax cleaner.
I'm betting his cokehead ramblings back in the day made more sense than anything he's said in the past decade
Grapevine, Texas, at the Gaylord resort.
Yes that a real place, its near the mall. My question if this dumbfuck is running for governor of Minnesota why the fuck he doing in Texas? Also how thought all the lawsuits would have bury this motherfucker?
They keep propping him back up when he collapses? It's really weird, he must have some dirt on chief Cheeto. If he becomes governor of Minnesota, you'll know the whole game is rigged because there is not a reality on earth where they would vote that dumbass in.
Yeah if he wins we will know Musk did rigg the machines. I know he did so to help Trump.
I have zero faith in the rest of the country to feel this is true.
Sure, but this is Minnesota. We've seen them in action.
The description originally stated Gaylord, Texas, which is not a real city name. I should know, I lived there before, during and after the Gaylord Texan opened.
He took it we all saw it. His lumpiness has been served!
Weird venue choice for the homophobic fascist (but I repeat myself) party 🤔
Home of Grindr HQ. I hope they shored up their infrastructure for this. They ALWAYS crash during Conservative conventions.
When I look up ass-clown in the dictionary...
…Myke Pillow
And people say there's no good news.
Oof, this guy can't catch a break. It really sucks to be so stubbornly attached to your own insanity that you keep getting yourself sued. Good luck there buddy lol
This happened where?????
Are you one of today's 10,000 ?
I don't know, might be more than 10k on that one
This video clip is a perfect analogy for how the rich can treat our legal system. For everyone else, there's Ice killing Alex Pretti.
You just know there are people he burned in business back on the 80s that are just enjoying the absolute shit out of this guys non-stop never-ending downward spiral.
Guy hasnt had a good day since January 6th 2021. Even in this administration.
I'm not familiar with this "serving papers" thing. Can someone ELI5 (and not American)?
What's the legal aspect of having to physically give someone some documents?
It's basically "Hi, here's some documentation informing you of legal proceedings against you. You now have no excuse to say you didn't know about it and are legally required to participate in the proceedings."
The person that serves the papers stands as the witness to the specific individual receiving said papers. Rather than mailing them and the papers just being ignored and people playing dumb about it to try to get out of whatever is going on for as long as possible.
If I'm missing something someone is more than welcome to come add onto or correct me if I'm wrong.
This about sums it up. But I will add that there's also a subtype of bounty hunters who's whole job is to track folks down to serve papers. Not really much to add past that just a fun fact.
I ran into one of these a few weeks ago trying to serve papers to my neighbor. They rang my bell to ask about him. Crazy.
I'm no snitch, but I did confirm some guy lives there, but I don't know anything about him 🤷♂️
Which also happens to be mostly the truth. Couldn't even tell you the guys name.
I see them knocking on his door every few days or so, still haven't got him.
But I AM a snitch when it counts, I definitely called the police on his girlfriend for drunk driving before.
She came home, struggled to get up the stairs, struggled to unlock her door, and then complained loudly to her cats, yelling, describing how drunk she was to them. Then 10 minutes later I heard her door again, by the time I got to my window she was driving away. I dialed 911 immediately. Unfortunately nothing came of it 🤷♂️
A yes a prime example of the failures of the legal situation, seriously would it kill them to send a patrol car to the area in case something happened at a minimum. Also yeah these bounty guys are probably on the good side of the bounty hunting profession mostly cause they usually are just there to keep the court system moving, unlike their cowboy wannabe kin who just seem to cause problems.
Just the first lady you can not serve ask michael wolf
Not necessarily against you specifically being prosecuted. They can also serve a subpoena to you if you are required as a witness on a case.
That's what happened to me.
The weird part was that when I was handed the papers I thought it was about a completely different case that was going to require me as a witness. This is weird because the only two times in my entire life I was (or thought I would be) subpoenaed happened at exactly the same time on two completely unrelated cases.
It's so the court can prove the person was made aware of the case being brought against them.
So they can't say "I didn't even know this was happening because no one made me aware".
Mike is very much the type of asshole who would say that if there wasn't proof someone physically made him aware. Hell, he's the type of asshole who would say it anyway.
Otherwise people claim they never got the notice. Has to be delivered in person with a witness.
Dear Leader drained his finances, now Pillow Boy is just a convenient distraction.
This is the kind of guy that is best described by the word Dipshit.
lol. lmao even.
