MyPillow CEO Slammed For Making CPAC Attendees Remove Masks To Take Selfies With Him

MyPillow CEO Slammed For Making CPAC Attendees Remove Masks To Take Selfies With Him

Trump-obsessed conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow, is once again back in the news. This time, for telling people to go maskless at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) while taking photos with him.

Lindell was slammed online for his unsafe behavior at the conference amidst the ongoing pandemic.


The furor began after a video of Lindell greeting a fan at the annual right-wing convention surfaced online on Sunday.

The video, captured by Bloomberg journalist William Turton, showed Lindell walking maskless through the convention. A fan, whose mask was down around his chin, approached Lindell for a selfie.

Lindell then instructed the young man to go entirely maskless.

He could be heard saying:

"Stop. Take the mask off."

Lindell then took photos with four other attendees, all unmasked.

One of former Republican President Donald Trump's strongest allies and financial supporters, Lindell has a history of trafficking in pandemic-related conspiracy theories—last summer, he claimed the toxic plant oleander could cure the virus.

And just this weekend at CPAC, Lindell had to be silenced by far-right media outlet Right Side Broadcasting Network for claiming the vaccine against the virus is the "mark of the beast."

That phrase alludes to Biblical "end times" prophecy which states just before the end of the world all people will be required to pledge allegiance to Satan—to accept "the mark of the beast"—in order to participate in society and the economy, or face being martyred for their Christian faith.

On Twitter, people were angered by Lindell's bizarre militance toward pandemic safety protocols.










Lindell is currently the defendant in a $1.3 billion lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems, whom Lindell accused of rigging the 2020 election for Democratic President Joe Biden.

White House Slammed After Replacing Obama Portrait With Painting Of Trump's Assassination Attempt

The White House is facing heavy criticism after it posted a video on X showing off a new painting of President Donald Trump's assassination attempt last summer—that is now hanging where an official portrait of former President Barack Obama was once displayed.

The portrait of Obama, unveiled in 2022 during former President Joe Biden’s administration, remains on display in the White House but has been relocated. Originally hung near the staircase to the presidential residence on the State Floor, it has been moved to the opposite wall—where a portrait of former President George W. Bush once hung.
