Well, it looks like we’ve found someone that leftists like even less than President Trump.
It would seem that the incredible man, Mike Lindell, whose story of redemption and success should be an inspiration to every American, isn’t appreciated by some of the Resist crowd–not even when he has dedicated 75% of his factory’s production to make face masks to help protect against the spread of the novel coronavirus.
.@MyPillowUSA is proud to answer the Presidents call to action as we are producing much needed face masks to help protect our brave medical workers on the frontlines of this invisible war. It’s time for manufacturers across the USA to help @realdonaldtrump. #KeepAmericaSafe pic.twitter.com/jZEnuEap9N

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell went wildly off-script during a White House coronavirus task force briefing from the Rose Garden — calling on Americans to read the Bible and find God during quarantine.
The mustachioed friend of President Trump was invited to speak at Monday’s briefing to announce he had joined the effort to produce critically needed face masks, churning out up to 50,000 masks a day by this Friday at one of his converted pillow factories.

Lindell created a bit of a stir when he spoke some “off-the-cuff” remarks suggesting that people take their time in quarantine to read the Bible.
My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell: "God gave us grace on November 8, 2016 to change the course we were on. God had been taken out of our schools and lives. A nation had turned its back on God. I encourage you to use this time at home to get back in the Word, read our Bibles." pic.twitter.com/KlH55S3wIn

Is that the my pillow guy??Do I need to turn the volume up. I was waiting for the doctors

And of course, the most awful of the late-night (alleged) comedy shows…
My Pillow is now making highly absorbent pillows so you can cry yourself to sleep after watching this press conference.

When you use your charitable activity to make a political endorsement – and then to advise your fellow citizens to get God back in the schools – it's not just charity, it's an in-kind contribution to your candidate and your cause.
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) March 30, 2020
Millions of people are doing their duty in a difficult time without being asked to give a Trump campaign speech in the Rose Garden and then telling us we need God back in the schools.
It's supposed to be a briefing during a national emergency, not a creepy Trumper rally. https://t.co/nxpckLyd9w— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) March 30, 2020
Jerry is mad that I am castigating the expertise of Mike Lindell. Because anti-anti-Trumpism isn't at all a derangement syndrome all its own.
No more campaign ads from the Rose Garden during a national emergency isn't too much to ask. https://t.co/17AVVc6IBx
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) March 30, 2020
Remember, people, during a national emergency that threatens the lives of your family, the most important thing is to be grateful for the charitable donations of a guy who helped Trump get elected, as he tells you to read your Bible and put God back in the schools. https://t.co/bbg89jFdtY

Conservative Twitter tore these jerks a new one, and let’s face it, it was well-deserved.
While @CNN was cutting away from “The My Pillow Guy” @realMikeLindell announced that he is producing 10,000 masks a day and is aiming to start producing 50,000 per day by Friday to help in the fight against the Coronavirus.

This My Pillow episode is giving us a great opportunity to see who cares about coming together and helping those who are risking their lives to save others, and who cares more about dunking on conservatives.
You don’t have to like what he said. The guy is helping save lives.

People are ripping on companies like My Pillow for- checks notes- stepping up to help w critical supplies during a crisis.You really are a bunch of ungrateful d*cks.

It's funny that the same people who were mad that Mike Lindell was promoting his business made "My Pillow" the number one trending topic in America.

And how did Mike Lindell react to his Rose Garden appearance? He told the Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter that his factory will be producing 50,000 masks per day and they’ll be “The most comfortable mask you’ll ever own.”

It’s probably true, too.
Stay rowdy, Mike! Stay rowdy.
