Tony Perkins, the head of the anti-LGBTQ hate group Family Research Council, is urging his group's followers to buy pillows for Christ.
The far-right evangelical leader is upset that MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has been permanently banned from Twitter for spreading fake claims of election fraud as retailers nationwide stop carrying the company's products. Lindell has subsequently claimed that Twitter was secretly running his account after "freezing" him out in a bizarre rant to local news.
Both Perkins and Lindell are rabid supporters of former President Donald Trump, but Lindell, in particular, was a favorite of Trump. Lindell spewed multiple conspiracy theories about COVID, the election, and just about anything else that would catch the former president's attention.
Multiple retailers have stopped carrying the MyPillow brand items following Lindell's increasingly bizarre antics. Perkins claims Lindell is a victim of "cancel culture" despite his organization's regular condemnations of various businesses and calls for boycotts.
"The cancel culture would love nothing better than to shut up Christians and drive them from the public square," Perkins wrote. "That's a lot harder to do when we refuse to live in fear of anyone but God."
"It takes a lot of courage to speak the truth when your livelihood is on the line. So when these business leaders are attacked — like Mike and [Goya CEO] Bob Unanue — we need to support them," he continued. "Maybe you don't need another pillow or mattress pad — buy one anyway. There are so many spineless and cowardly people out there."
Lindell, who is being sued by Dominion Voting Systems for falsely accusing the company of "stealing millions of votes," has a bizarre explanation for the social media site's decision to yank his account for "repeated violations" of the site's policies.
"They froze me out. Everyone thought it was still up, but I couldn't like or do anything," Lindell told Minnesota's Star Tribune . "They really had already banned me without the public knowing."
"I just couldn't do anything and they were running my Twitter like they were me," he continued.
"My friends are going you're not tweeting very much and when you do — I said I'm not doing that so I try to take it down and I got something from Germany saying these are Twitter rules and you cannot do this, so they ran my Twitter for 14 or 15 days."

Ugh!
Just another so called Christian playing the victim. Nothing new there.
Simple advice, do not support Trump's national election fraud con if you want to maintain credibility. Sensible (and honest) people might find that they no longer want to give you their business.
See, for me, when I see a pillow salesman propping up the national disgrace that Trump perpetrated I figure that someone so dishonest as to support Trump in this con is quite likely to be dishonest when it comes to his pillows. Kinda dissuades one from the company.
But, maybe that is just me.
It's not just you.
Actually TG.... I think you are in the majority with your position.
Business people who use their businesses to subvert democracy deserve what they get.
I would sleep on crushed gravel before I would buy any of his products.
Perkins is a Money Changer walking in The Shadow of The Deceiver.
Lindell is a..............uh...........religious nut bag jealous of the power wielded by the Taliban.
Perkins has more money than Lindell and Lindell is now bleeding cash.
Perkins also has the advantage of continuing cash coming in from the fleeced of his flock.
Lindell's advantage is.........actually he has none. He's hoping for MAGA cash but the main MAGA man is not one to share so Lindell's screwed. He should have read Rick Wilson's book, "Everything Trump Touches, Dies"----except he didn't and he's still screwed.
Mike Lindell is a phenomenal liar.
I thought lying was against the Ten Commandments.
Yes, Lindell is a liar--his display of 'the cross' proves it. However, he is also a dangerous liar, a christian dominionist---a christian Taliban.
Ten Commandments? Really? Putin's lackeys only use them to persecute.
Our American national life is unfolding like a series of subplots from a dark satire television series or movie, or maybe a comic book. Except it's real.
The bottom line problem is we have millions of people who actually believe insane ideas about the government and the public world around them. If Trumps cult was a couple hundred people maybe it could be relatively easily dealt with. But it's not hundreds of people it is hundreds of thousands.
A bunch of innocent people are going to get killed before all this comes to an end.
I don't approve of gay marriage, but I buy Elton John's music because I like it. I don't like Mike Lindell's politics, but I buy his products because they're good.
Doo-Whad--Na?
Gah
... just... gah...
How is Christianity not a bullshit con again?
