MyPillow Guy Swiftly Dragged After He Says He's '100% Running' For The Head Of The RNC

The MAGA businessman is hoping to unseat current RNC chair Ronna McDaniel.

MyPillow CEO and noted conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell was swiftly dragged after he said he is "100% running" to be the head of the Republican National Committee (RNC) and hopes to unseat current RNC chair Ronna McDaniel.

During a discussion with Steve Bannon—the White nationalist who served as former Republican President Donald Trump's chief strategist until a rather contentious falling out—Lindell claimed one of the RNC's "big donors" suggested that "everybody" wants to see him run the political committee.


Lindell said he had been doing his “due diligence the past few days,” meeting with donors and state leaders to highlight future plans for the committee. However, he added he had not spoken with Trump or sought his blessing, preferring this be "[Lindell's] decision."

You can hear what Lindell said in the video below.

Lindell said:

"I've been doing my due diligence the last few days. The RNC is such a big institution and it's so important and it's failed us."
"I've talked to big donors now in the last three days. I've talked to many of the state leads [sic] and everyone of them says, 'We've gotta have a different leader, a different input to get a different output.'"
"I'm learning so much about it and like, I'd do anything. I'm going to do my due diligence and then I'm going to say, 'Hey, where are the holes here and can I be that great person to fill that?'"
"When you look at the RNC like a business, they have failed us. And you've got to look at why they have failed. You've got 2018, 2020, 2022... Now, if you're CEO of any other business, you get replaced."
"The RNC's a mess. The donors are upset, they want results. All the people I've talked to within the organization, they are upset because some of them are quitting, some of them are glad they're turned out."
"It needs to be fixed and I believe it can be, will be fixed."

Lindell has no experience holding political office.

He has, however, previously advised Trump's campaign and become the subject of considerable derision for taking a more active role in supporting and financing Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 general election result by spreading disproven conspiracy theories about widespread electoral fraud.

As far as social media users were concerned, a successful Lindell candidacy would only make matters worse for the RNC at a time when the GOP is largely split over allegiance to Trumpist politics and the party's disappoining midterm election performance, which failed to bring about the "red wave" Republican pollsters and legislators were counting on.

Lindell was soundly mocked as a result.



The bumbling Lindell made headlines in September after he complained that agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seized his phone while he was in the drive-thru of a Hardee’s restaurant.

Lindell's phone was seized in connection with a 2021 breach of voting machines in Mesa County, Colorado, committed by former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who is facing felony charges for alleged tampering after sensitive voter machine data she leaked was presented at Lindell's "Cyber Symposium."

Lindell had billed the "Symposium" as a legitimate arena in which he would unveil definitive proof that the 2020 election was stolen but he ultimately failed to produce any evidence of fraud.

Awkward Typo In Elon Musk's Bizarre 'Education Department' Trump Meme Is A Total Self-Own

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after he celebrated President Donald Trump's executive order to begin to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) by posting a meme of Trump at the department's grave, only for an awkward misspelling to get all the attention.

Polling indicates that eliminating the Education Department is largely unpopular, with 60% of registered voters opposing the move, according to a Quinnipiac University survey conducted March 6-10. Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
