A Minnesota judge today denied Mike Lindell’s motion to throw out a lawsuit brought by a voting technology company that claims he defamed it by pushing the false narrative that the 2020 election was stolen.

to throw out a lawsuit brought by a voting technology company that claims he defamed it by pushing the false narrative that the 2020 election was stolen.

Smartmatic also alleges that Lindell, who has advertised promo codes for MyPillow products to viewers and listeners during TV and radio segments where he pushed the false narrative that voting technology was rigged in the 2020 election, used deceptive trade practices. Lindell moved to dismiss Smartmatic’s complaint, arguing that the company failed to adequately plea the defamation claim, and that the deceptive trade practices claim fails because Lindell was acting in a personal, not professional, capacity when making statements about the 2020 election. MyPillow separately moved to dismiss Smartmatic’s complaint, arguing that it is shielded by the First Amendment and that it did not make any statements about Smartmatic.

Most of the people commenting on this should be utterly ashamed of themselves. Are you saying that the people counting our votes are beyond reproach? Should not be investigated or looked into or opened up? Welcome to the CCP!!!

I wonder if his employees know he's running the company into the ground and that they could be out of jobs very soon.

Yay

He never stopped pushing the big lie

I keep picturing Lindell like this....

Certainly hope Lindell loses every dime he’s got, then realizes he too was duped … only fitting …

I hope he's sued for everything.

Must be gods will? Guess Mike didnt pray hard enough

Quality FAFO will not be denied.

Lindell fked around, now he’s finding out.

Watch the comment section. The left is about to prove how vile and full of contemp they are. The tolerant left always celebrating the destruction of others.

He picked a bad week to stop snorting crack

Gee! That’s a shame. 😀
