Lindell has been embroiled in legal battles related to false claims he made about the 2020 presidential election.

Mike Lindell, MyPillow CEO, a candidate for Minnesota governor and a notorious ally of Donald Trump, was served with legal documents during a live TV interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Gaylord, Texas, on Thursday.

Lindell was speaking with a reporter from the far-right news outlet One America News when a woman interrupted the interview.

After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.

Maga is so incredibly good at picking the biggest possible losers to rally behind

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

Theyve got the pillow guy, the couch guy, and the kid raper. Fun group.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

the kid raper

[-] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

And the puppy killer, and the douchy podcaster, and the richest man in the world that can't stop acting like he's on 4chan, Jewish space lasers lady, the woman that married the guy that exposed himself to her as a minor, and Ted Cruz

[-] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Jewish space lasers lady rage-quit because she finally got it through her dumbass skull that pedo-in-chief wasn't actually going after the pedos.

[-] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I don't believe her. I think it's just a different grift, not a genuine change of heart.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I believe that she was a QAnon true believer, but finally getting disillusioned from that doesn't somehow redeem her from continuing to be a vile piece of shit in every other possible way.

[-] School_Lunch@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

I thought I remember reading that she wanted some kind of promotion, maybe a cabinet postition or something but was passed over, so she left that group of grifters to start her own.

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

She wanted to be a senator, but Donny wouldn’t endorse her over some other republican asshole, plus I think she saw some of the Epstein stuff and was offended by it. But that could be just an attempt at revenge for the lack of endorsement

[-] MunkyNutts@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

And whatever these two weirdos are.

[-] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

"Keep still, Their vision is based on morons."

[-] BipolarSilence@lemmy.cafe 7 points 1 week ago

Pillow CEO in legal trouble in conservative conference in Gaylord, Texas.. Man this timeline just getting lazy

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Is it me, or is there something inherently funny about CPAC being in a place called "Gaylord?"

I'd like to see the traffic for Grindr there this week.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Run real fast and do equations in your head, Morty!

[-] kurmudgeon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

This video clip is a perfect analogy for how the rich can treat our legal system. For everyone else, there's Ice killing Alex Pretti.

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Poor Mike went from snorting cocaine to now snorting Ajax cleaner cut with Ajax cleaner.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Ah yes, because professional process servers are "deranged leftists" now.

[-] 4am@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Oh god please let him get held in contempt for failure to appear 🤣

[-] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

It’s such an open look into their way of thinking (and how they want us to think of it too); anyone holding someone on the right accountable to actual law is doing so to weaponize the law against them, due to political ideology and not you know, holding up the law.

Remember, fascists see ethics as such: law protects but does not bind them, and binds but does not protect anyone outside their preferred in-group.

[-] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Which means that's exactly what they're doing when they exercise the law against someone. Every accusation is an admission of guilt.

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.

Thats awesome! There's now video proof he was served and he can't deny he never wasn't.

Process servers take note of this. If you want your target to accept the papers, simply have a second person attempting an interview.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

YO MIKE

Is your boy Trump helping you out with your legal fees?

I thought you were going to get a spot in his administration for all the help you gave him.

I'm sure he'll get around to it.

Anyway, have the life you earned, cumstain.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

"What they're doing is illegal!"

"Sir, you're being served with papers for a crime you've committed"

"I don't have time for this, I'm on TV!"

[-] stickyprimer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.

Fool. He accepted the papers. No one cares that he then littered. She won.

[-] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

can she prove it? Hard to say, if only he was on TV

[-] pi3r8@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

And people say there's no good news.

[-] 0li0li@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

...only to pick the documents off the floor when the cameras were off.

Grapevine, Texas, at the Gaylord resort.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Yes that a real place, its near the mall. My question if this dumbfuck is running for governor of Minnesota why the fuck he doing in Texas? Also how thought all the lawsuits would have bury this motherfucker?

The description originally stated Gaylord, Texas, which is not a real city name. I should know, I lived there before, during and after the Gaylord Texan opened.

[-] AlexLost@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

They keep propping him back up when he collapses? It's really weird, he must have some dirt on chief Cheeto. If he becomes governor of Minnesota, you'll know the whole game is rigged because there is not a reality on earth where they would vote that dumbass in.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah if he wins we will know Musk did rigg the machines. I know he did so to help Trump.

Are you one of today's 10,000 ?

[-] Magnum@infosec.pub 1 points 1 week ago

I don't know, might be more than 10k on that one

[-] WandowsVista@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

lol. lmao even.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

You just know there are people he burned in business back on the 80s that are just enjoying the absolute shit out of this guys non-stop never-ending downward spiral.

Guy hasnt had a good day since January 6th 2021. Even in this administration.

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 0 points 1 week ago

I'm not familiar with this "serving papers" thing. Can someone ELI5 (and not American)?

What's the legal aspect of having to physically give someone some documents?

[-] suzucappo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's basically "Hi, here's some documentation informing you of legal proceedings against you. You now have no excuse to say you didn't know about it and are legally required to participate in the proceedings."

The person that serves the papers stands as the witness to the specific individual receiving said papers. Rather than mailing them and the papers just being ignored and people playing dumb about it to try to get out of whatever is going on for as long as possible.

If I'm missing something someone is more than welcome to come add onto or correct me if I'm wrong.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Not necessarily against you specifically being prosecuted. They can also serve a subpoena to you if you are required as a witness on a case.

That's what happened to me.

The weird part was that when I was handed the papers I thought it was about a completely different case that was going to require me as a witness. This is weird because the only two times in my entire life I was (or thought I would be) subpoenaed happened at exactly the same time on two completely unrelated cases.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

This about sums it up. But I will add that there's also a subtype of bounty hunters who's whole job is to track folks down to serve papers. Not really much to add past that just a fun fact.
