Mike Lindell's Latest Pillow Price Is Being Interpreted As A Nazi Dog Whistle
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Conspiracy theorist and pillow-pusher Mike Lindell is facing backlash online after his company marked down some of its pillows to $14.88, a figure seen as symbolic for white supremacists and neo-Nazis.

On Friday, Lindell and his MyPillow business advertised the discounted products on social media, promising consumers the “ultimate comfort upgrade.”
“Sleep like a dream with our Standard MyPillow for just $14.88!” the posts read in part.
Below an image of Lindell holding two pillows is a large graphic prominently displaying the price.
The number “1488” is a common symbol used among hate groups. The “14” is shorthand for the “14 Words,” a stand-in for a white supremacist slogan, while “88” refers to an abbreviation of “Heil Hitler,” since H is the eighth letter of the alphabet.
The posts were shared on major platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and X, formerly Twitter. As of Saturday afternoon, the posts remained online, with hundreds of comments denouncing Lindell.
A spokesperson for MyPillow did not return a request for comment. Lindell could not be reached for comment.
Lindell, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, has repeatedly boosted conspiracy theories falsely claiming that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Trump.
In 2021, Lindell offered $5 million to anyone who could win his “Prove Mike Wrong Challenge” by disproving data related to his election fraud claims.
In February, a judge confirmed that Lindell had to pay $5 million to a computer forensics expert who successfully took on Lindell’s challenge. Lindell recently handed over financial documents in the case as the expert tried to collect the money.
It HAS to be a coincidence.
Just wait till they come down to $4.20...
Nice to see you think Nazi dog whistles are funny.
I don't own a my pillow, do you?
You would have been better off saying nothing than giving that answer.
Mmmmkay....
Why isn't this a surprise?
Ridiculous. Look at the original price - would you pay $50 or even the sale price of $30 before it marked it down to his nazi special?
I'd rest my head on a sack of gravel before I gave this idiot one penny.
Lindell continues to appear and speak at Trump rallies.
They continue to put America through a clown show starring evil clowns.
It's a sure sign of stupidity that he doesn't realize that his financial ruin was Trump's doing.
That is why we always have to be careful with numbers. Never price anything at $14.88 because it will arouse the Nazis, who will leap out of their graves once again.
I don't even wave hello anymore, lest the Huffington Post declares it the Nazi salute. /s
Did 14.88 as a price come to Lindell in a dream?
$ 14.99 wouldnt have been a deep enough discount?
There is an argument to be made that $14.88 looks less obvious that the usual $14.99 PENNY SHORT OF $15.
There is no logic to the conspiracy theory that Mike Lindell is sending a signal to Nazis.
