What was the reason behind the boycott of MyPillow? 

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell said several companies stopped selling his products after he insisted on exposing baseless allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election, according to a widely shared photo of Lindell’s notes for the meeting when he entered the White House.

CEO of MyPillow said he believes he will lose as much as $65 million this year as retailers boycotted his store after repeatedly making unsubstantiated claims about the 2020 presidential election being stolen from former President Trump.

The photo ignited an outburst on social media. Many have urged retailers to get rid of MyPillow products, and some Trump supporters said they would boycott stores that stop selling MyPillow.

What were Mike Lindell’s thoughts on the boycott?

In an interview, Lindell said that Kohls doesn’t understand and is scared, like a Bed Bath & Beyond who cut off its ties with MyPillow. He said they were good partners and told them to go back anytime they wanted.

He said the companies were dropping MyPillow down unnecessarily, relying on social media campaigns he claimed were being perpetrated by leftist organizations.

According to earlier sources, few companies have said they would drop Lindell because of slumping MyPillow sales, not politics.
