Mike Lindell, who started as a pillow seller and now wants to be governor of Minnesota, has already spent half of his campaign money in just two weeks. He did this by buying a lot of copies of his own self-help book, *What Are the Odds? From Crack Addict to CEO*. The book is basically a story about how he turned his life around, and Lindell is giving it out for free at his campaign events. The money from these book sales goes straight back to his company, My Pillow, which he owns.
Lindell used to be an addict and became a CEO, and now he’s trying to win the Republican nomination in Minnesota, where he’s running against a real politician named Lisa Demuth.
He wants to challenge another Democrat, Amy Klobuchar, for the governor’s seat. Lindell says his life was in ruins before he met Jesus, who supposedly helped him get back on track.
He’s also had to pay a lot of money after losing a court case where he falsely accused a Dominion Voting Systems employee.
He said he had no money left and couldn’t afford to fund his campaign on his own. But now he’s spending what little he has on books to give out to people who support him.
This isn’t new for Lindell.
He’s known for trying to blame others for his losses, like the 2020 election, where he claimed the results were rigged. He even blamed Beelzebub, which is a name for the devil. His campaign is full of shady tactics where supporters give money, and Lindell uses that money to push his own products. He’s not the only one doing this; other Republicans like Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton have also used campaign funds to buy goods for their companies.
This kind of behavior shows that Republicans often take money from supporters and use it for their own benefit, giving them nothing in return.
And it seems like people keep falling for it, no matter how obvious it is.
