Dominion Voting Systems sued Mike Lindell, chief executive of Minnesota-based MyPillow Inc., for more than $1.3 billion in damages for defamation after the pillow salesman spread former President Donald Trump’s Big Lie while defaming one of the largest makers of voting machines in the U.S. In turn, Lindell has sued Dominion Voting Systems for $1.6 billion for its alleged “suppression of speech and attacks on the company,” according to Forbes. So, it’s no wonder that no one wants anything to do with the pillow guy with billion-dollar lawsuits flying back and forth. According to Politico, Lindell was thrown out of an event.
“The Republican Governors Association on Tuesday threw out Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and a top Trump ally after he showed up to its spring conference in Tennessee, he told POLITICO in an interview,” the outlet reports.
“Lindell said he had flown to Nashville on Monday to attend the three-day meeting starting on Tuesday, but that only a few minutes after he collected his credential at the JW Marriott Hotel, an event coordinator in the lobby told him he was not allowed at any of the official RGA events,” the report continues.
‘An RGA official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said on Tuesday night that Lindell tried to join transportation for members only for a dinner at the Tennessee Governor’s Mansion and was denied. The person added: “These events are for RGA members, and Mike Lindell is not currently an RGA member,”‘ the report continues.

However, Lindell claims that he was invited.
“Lindell on Tuesday shared a screenshot of a calendar event headlined “RGA – Nashville Meeting” with the attachment “Nashville Agenda.pdf,” and said he had been invited to the event in the last month or two,” Politico reports. “He also shared the schedule of RGA events for Tuesday and Wednesday that had the word “CONFIDENTIAL” at the bottom.”
According to the outlet, “Lindell has attended previous meetings of the RGA, including the winter 2020 meeting, where a few Republican governors encouraged him to run for governor of Minnesota.”
Lindell is a Trump sycophant who visited the White House on multiple occasions after Joe Biden clinched the necessary electoral votes to win the presidency. During one occasion, Lindell was photographed carrying a document talking about “martial law.”
