My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell was cut off during an interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference Sunday after he hurled wild conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and the vaccines for the virus.
Lindell was stopped in the middle of his interview with host Liz Willis of the conservative YouTube channel Right Side Broadcasting Network when he claimed that people who did not have the coronavirus were being diagnosed with it.
“You stub your toe, and they say, ‘Oh you’ve got COVID.’ Let’s pile on, you know,” Lindell told Willis — who interrupted him to quickly shut the conversation down.
“We do have to be super careful. I hate to do it. You know I love you, but due to YouTube’s guidelines, we will get our whole platform shut down if we talk about vaccines,” she interjected.
The comment was the final straw after Lindell spent much of the 17-minute interview railing about the jabs.
The CEO earlier took aim at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claiming the leader is “making the whole country” get a shot — before whining that other countries would soon follow suit.

The My Pillow founder continued, “This is our bodies, this is ‘mark of the beast’ stuff. And I don’t care. I’ll just put right out there. This is Revelations.”

Lindell’s COVID conspiracies come after he repeatedly spread baseless claims about fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
