Lindell has been embroiled in legal battles related to false claims he made about the 2020 presidential election.

Mike Lindell, MyPillow CEO, a candidate for Minnesota governor and a notorious ally of Donald Trump, was served with legal documents during a live TV interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Gaylord, Texas, on Thursday.

Lindell was speaking with a reporter from the far-right news outlet One America News when a woman interrupted the interview.

After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.

      Maga is so incredibly good at picking the biggest possible losers to rally behind

      I always thought they perhaps started from better candidates, but even after the most simple vetting those candidates somehow fail ideological purity tests ( such as “candidate is great on white supremacy but poor on abortion, NEXT!”) or some other bullshit maga metric, and what remains are people like Mr Lumpy Pillow.

    Ah yes, because professional process servers are “deranged leftists” now.

      It’s such an open look into their way of thinking (and how they want us to think of it too); anyone holding someone on the right accountable to actual law is doing so to weaponize the law against them, due to political ideology and not you know, holding up the law.

      Remember, fascists see ethics as such: law protects but does not bind them, and binds but does not protect anyone outside their preferred in-group.

        Which means that’s exactly what they’re doing when they exercise the law against someone. Every accusation is an admission of guilt.

    “What they’re doing is illegal!”

    “Sir, you’re being served with papers for a crime you’ve committed”

    “I don’t have time for this, I’m on TV!”

    Fool. He accepted the papers. No one cares that he then littered. She won.

    Thats awesome! There’s now video proof he was served and he can’t deny he never wasn’t.

    Process servers take note of this. If you want your target to accept the papers, simply have a second person attempting an interview.

    YO MIKE

    Is your boy Trump helping you out with your legal fees?

    I thought you were going to get a spot in his administration for all the help you gave him.

    I’m sure he’ll get around to it.

    Anyway, have the life you earned, cumstain.

      Is it me, or is there something inherently funny about CPAC being in a place called “Gaylord?”

      I’d like to see the traffic for Grindr there this week.
