Mike Lindell vows at defamation trial to keep calling Dominion execs 'traitors'

Embattled MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell doesn't regret any of his past statements, proclaiming during his defamation trial in Colorado that he would say it all again.

The case was brought by Eric Coomer, a former employee with Dominion Voting Systems, whom Lindell has baselessly accused of election-rigging. Dominion has been forced to sue a wide array of right-wing figures and groups who pushed conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election, for harm to their reputation.

Lindell has alleged that Coomer, in particular, was part of a plot to rig the election against Trump, which was promoted and amplified on his FrankSpeech platform.

Speaking in front of the jury on Tuesday, Lindell didn't seem particularly apologetic, even as he acknowledged that his conspiracies that the 2020 election was stolen had cost him everything in his professional life, according to the exchanges covered in a lengthy X thread by election security activist Ashe Epp.

"With all you’ve lost, why didn’t you stop talking about elections?" Lindell's attorney asked him.

"Because we lose everything," said Lindell. "I will never stop. We have to get rid of the machines and go to paper ballots." He confirmed he still believes everything he has said about Coomer.

"Did you hear anything in the trial that persuades you about Dr. Coomer?" asked the attorney.

"I might have been hyperbolic, but no," said Lindell. "I will probably still call them traitors and criminals."

Lindell's attorney asked only one more question before the judge dismissed the jury: whether Coomer had any interactions with him directly. To which Lindell replied, "Yesterday I was waiting for my wife outside the bathroom and he called me a piece of s---."
