Mike Lindell claims CNN 'hit job' has sparked state inquiry launched into his charity

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell lashed out at CNN after he said the network accused him of "using promo codes to attack democracy."

During a Wednesday appearance on the War Room podcast, Lindell said that Minnesota had opened an inquiry into his charity for drug addicts a day after CNN aired a documentary about how he was funding election deniers through MyPillow.

"Yeah, the Attorney General of Minnesota two days ago, it kind of coincided with CNN," Lindell explained to War Room guest host Peter Navarro. "There was a big hit job on me on a documentary last Sunday for an hour on CNN."

"And they came after me there for, for a platform, FrankSpeech and other voices that our voices have gotten bigger and that MyPillow uses promo codes to attack democracy in this country," he complained. "It was just a disgusting documentary."

During Sunday's broadcast, CNN's Donie O'Sullivan spoke to Lindell about his effort to fund right-wing election deniers.

"MAGA influencers everywhere are using Mike's pillow codes to support the lies they are spreading," O'Sullivan explained. "Mike seems to genuinely believe the conspiracy theories that he is peddling."

"But what he is doing is dangerous," he added. "He's spreading misinformation that is undermining trust in American elections. And through his pillow codes, he's helping others do the same."
