In a recent interaction at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), a mustache-less Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and a prominent advocate of election fraud conspiracy theories, found himself challenged by an unlikely source: a kid reporter. The brief but revealing exchange showcased Lindell’s continued reliance on vague and unfounded claims about the 2020 election, specifically regarding supposed missing votes in Georgia, while the young reporter expertly dismantled his arguments in real-time.
During the exchange, Lindell made a startling claim: “They just found 252,157 thousand votes. A judge ruled in Georgia that are missing from the 2020 election.” He asserted that this information had surfaced “last week” and that it was widely available in Georgia’s local news. However, Lindell provided no concrete evidence or sources to support his bold statement. The kid reporter, unimpressed, responded with a straightforward critique, mocking Lindell’s lack of substantiation by saying, “So your source is trust me, bro. That’s your source.”
The interaction took a more awkward turn when Lindell failed to provide any further details to back up his claims, repeatedly insisting that the information was available in “Georgia news” and encouraging the young reporter to “read your news.” However, when pressed for additional details—such as the name of the judge involved or more specific sources—Lindell could only reiterate his vague assertion, offering no clarity.
This video serves as a clear example of the ongoing problem with conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 election. Lindell, who has been at the forefront of pushing baseless claims of voter fraud, continued his pattern of making sweeping statements without providing credible evidence. Despite having ample opportunity to substantiate his argument, he failed to do so, leaving his claims to crumble under scrutiny from a kid reporter. The fact that Lindell could not answer basic follow-up questions highlights the weakness of the conspiracy theories that have lingered since the election.

The kid reporter’s calm but pointed responses, such as “You haven’t given any last name,” further underscore the absurdity of Lindell’s claims. This interaction shows that even when pressed by young individuals, those who peddle election conspiracies struggle to provide factual support for their assertions.
