MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell struggled to speak as he announced his run for governor in Minnesota.

At a Thursday event at his pillow factory, Lindell appeared to have voice problems. The election denier's speech was exclusively aired on Steve Bannon's War Room broadcast.

"I'm the best person to be governor," Lindell said, insisting that he could "pull inner-city" voters.

"I love my state, I love the country, I love people," he continued. "This is where, this is where I want to be used: problem-solution. And right now you get down to Minneapolis, and it's a shame."


"I have great, you know, great things in store and not just ideas but they're all laid out of the solutions to all these problems."
