(OPINION) MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is promising that a new ruling in Georgia will “expose everything” and vindicate those like him who have made claims about election fraud.
“This is going to expose everything,” Lindell told Steve Bannon on Bannon’s War Room podcast Monday. “The judge has opened the door that no man can shut.”
Earlier this month, District Judge Amy Totenberg, an Obama appointee, issued a ruling that granted a bench trial for a long-running lawsuit seeking to rid Georgia of its electronic voting machines in favor of hand-marked paper ballots.
Lindell celebrated Totenberg’s ruling, which denied the state’s request for her to rule based on the arguments and facts of the case and without a trial.
Lindell has been especially excited about a footnote in the judge’s ruling, which said that the evidence in the case “does not suggest that the Plaintiffs are conspiracy theorists of any variety” and that some of the nation’s leading cybersecurity experts and computer scientists provided evidence that Georgia’s voting system poses a threat to the constitutional rights of voters to cast their votes and have those votes accurately counted.
Lindell himself is embroiled in a series of expensive defamation lawsuits over his claims that election voting systems from Dominion Voting System and Smartmatic led to voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The system used in Georgia was purchased from Dominion in 2019.
“Anyone questioning elections or election machines are not conspiracy theorist!” Lindell said on X, formerly Twitter, in response to the ruling.
He echoed those sentiments on Bannon’s’ show, wearing a tin foil hat before removing it and declaring, “I get to take off my tin foil hat, you know, that’s what the judge said, we’re not a conspiracy guy anymore. Praise the Lord.” The symbol of a tin foil hat is often used as a symbol for a conspiracy theorist or paranoid person.
