MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell claimed victory after a jury ordered him to pay $2.3 million in damages to former voting machine executive Eric Coomer for defamation.
During an appearance on Tuesday's War Room program with Steve Bannon, Lindell said he was "victorious" in the case because his company, MyPillow, was excluded from the verdict.
"We're the first ones that went all the way to jury trial," he said of 2020 election fraud cases. "And we won. It was unanimous all the way, every single thing that they, when they brought up MyPillow, 100% victory. Now, the media is coming out and saying, well, you owe all this. Mike Lindell, you owe all this. Well, that's what appeals are for, Steve."
"But hang on a second," Bannon interrupted. "Appeals are only on points of law. What specifically in points of law are your attorneys involved — pointing to that because appeals almost, it almost never gets appealed, overturned at an appellate level."
"There was so many things they didn't let in that I wanted to bring in that my lawyers wanted to bring in," Lindell replied. "So I think that might be some of the things, because every time that happened, I'd go into kind of a panic, and they're going, Mike, this is all, if they do this, and it comes out, this is all part of the appeal process."
"It's the first victory involving his 2020 election," he insisted. "And I'm going to tell you, Steve, while it was there, you know, this all came out of Colorado media where it's going all over the country that, you know, Mike Lindell lost and all this rubbish."
"I feel very much that it was a great victory for us in our country."
