MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — MyPillow chief executive and prominent election denier Mike Lindell said Friday that Fox News has stopped running his company’s commercials, disputing the network’s assertion that it is simply because he hasn’t paid his bills.

Lindell went public by tweeting that that Fox, which had been one of MyPillow’s biggest advertising outlets, had canceled him. He said in his tweet that he didn’t know why but that he suspected that the network was trying to silence him. Fox denied that.

Losing Fox was just the latest in a series of financial and legal setbacks for Minnesota-based MyPillow and Lindell, who continues to propagate former President Donald Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was stolen from him, in part by rigged voting machine systems. Several big-box retailers, including Walmart, have discontinued his products, and lawyers who were defending him against defamation lawsuits by voting machine companies quit.

“As soon as their account is paid, we would be happy to accept their advertising,” Fox spokeswoman Irena Briganti said.
============================================
How have the mighty fallen.

I cannot imagine a person being dumb enough to buy one of his pillows, ever-------but then, it is even MORE impossible to think of a person voting for TRUMP, so..........whatever.....

You don't know Trumpers, do you?

I think he's now advertising slippers because I see it on one of the many screens at the gym. Apparently no one is buying his pillows anymore.

My deepest sympathies to Mr. L.

I hope that it is just a matter of payment to FOX.

Hopefully, FOX has not joined the destroy-Mr. L. movement.
