| “Jack Dorsey is trying to cancel me (Mike Lindell) out,” Lindell tweeted through MyPillow's account on Sunday, in a message thanking supporters who ordered pillows after Kohl's and other major retailers stopped carrying the company's products. “We are extremely busy and hiring as fast as we can to handle all the shipping. Jack (Dorsey) will be found out and should be put in prison when all is revealed.” | “Jack Dorsey is trying to cancel me (Mike Lindell) out,” Lindell tweeted through MyPillow's account on Sunday, in a message thanking supporters who ordered pillows after Kohl's and other major retailers stopped carrying the company's products. “We are extremely busy and hiring as fast as we can to handle all the shipping.

| After the second Twitter ban, Lindell was back at it on Tuesday, repeatedly trying to bring up his allegations of election fraud in an interview with Newsmax TV about his being canceled on social media. As Lindell spoke of having “100 percent proof” that voting machines were used to perpetrate the fraud, Newsmax host Bob Sellers repeatedly tried to interject, saying the allegations regarding voting machines hadn't been verified. As Lindell continued to talk, Sellers spoke over him, reading a legal disclaimer about Newsmax accepting the election results as “legal and final.” | After the second Twitter ban, Lindell was back at it on Tuesday, repeatedly trying to bring up his allegations of election fraud in an interview with Newsmax TV about his being canceled on social media.
