Stores stop selling MyPillow over CEO Mike Lindell's political ideals

Don't say anything political as people you do business with might band you! The new America!...This could really start a precedent!

Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl's and Wayfair STOP selling MyPillow over CEO Mike Lindell's support of voter fraud theories - as Dominion Voting threatens to sue him over 'baseless lies'

Wayfair has also joined the MyPillow boycott amid public pressure he claims is being perpetrated by 'leftist groups'.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says his products have been dropped by Bed Bath & Beyond, Wayfair and Kohl's amid his continued support of election conspiracies.

How about.....Mike Lindell stops undermining the country with bogus claims of election fraud and encouraging martial law, and stops presenting himself as a leader to those trying to destabilize a legitimate government?

In other words, Ray, Lindell's words bring consequences, a Conservative principle of ever there was one. And if you're not familiar with what he said, then why defend him or criticize those opposing him? Plenty of conservatives operate freely on social media and plenty of conservative businessmen have no issues getting their products to market.

If Lindell loses sales and lays people off as a result of letting his politics gum up his business, then that's on him and his vanity.

can we apply that same principle to Apple, Google, Facebook, Starbucks, Levi's, Nike etc?

[dryheat]

Sure. I will never buy Nikes. I will try to avoid flying on American Airlines. I will never set foot in Oregon. I will shop at BBB and chick fil lay. But I think companies should stay pretty neutral when it comes to a lot of political stances.

This is Stalinism taking hold by the Marxists.

A Conservative understands that our institutions, imperfect though they may be, are all that keeps us from the mob, or the dictator. To a Conservative, tossing off half-baked claims of election fraud that directly undermine those institutions as grist for the mob is unthinkable. Hence, neither Lindell or Trump are Conservative in any meaningful sense of the word. Both are self-promoters who have targeted the that segment of the population which has been worked over for decades by AM radio and cable TV.

They're attacking election integrity? Did not know that. But sure, if the shoe fits...

Your opinion.. but as usual you're forgetting that the liberals do the same..

[rayg]

Just a thought.. Are there any conservative sites similar to face book or the other like social media sites. that band left geared posts like the conservative ones are banded?

Yes my opinion....what I'm saying is that the guys pushing the garbage on the AM radio in particular are not Conservative and never have been. They've spend a generation (30 years) stoking resentment for ratings, and so here we are. By comparison the liberals are not even in the same league. I'm yet to walk into a lab or machine shop and hear an honest-to-goodness liberal on the AM radio who can hold a candle to Rush. The last guy to try was Ed Shultz and he ended out of a job when Air America radio went out of business, and went to RT for a paycheck. So even there with him it was all a con, all an act. Meanwhile Cumulus Media and Premiere make millions getting their listeners PO'd towards everyone and everything in the country that doesn't think like them as a by-product of securing advertising revenue.

If tossing off half baked claims is only done by conservatives, does this make the Katie Couric a conservative?

Are liberals calling for the overthrow of the government, by force if necessary? That would be the test.

4 years ago?? yes

I've probably listened to two hours of Talk Radio in my life. I can't stand those guys.
