Mike Lindell Shows Off His Tin-Foil Hats

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell showed off a collection of tin-foil hats that he can now take off in the wake of a judge’s ruling in a Georgia voting-machine case.

Speaking on his online show, Lindell continued to celebrate the decision from U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg, who was appointed to the bench by Barack Obama. She ruled in mid-November that a case on whether Dominion Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs) should be used to count votes during elections instead of paper ballots should be decided by a bench trial.

While not involved in the case, Lindell, who is the subject of a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting System for falsely accusing the company of rigging the 2020 election in favor of Joe Biden over Donald Trump, said that the ruling vindicates him and other election-deniers accused of being conspiracy theorists. Newsweek emailed Lindell for comment on Saturday.

Totenberg said that the evidence in the case brought forward by election-security advocacy group the Coalition for Good Governance against Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and members of the State Election Board “does not suggest that the Plaintiffs are conspiracy theorists of any variety.”

“Indeed, some of the nation’s leading cybersecurity experts and computer scientists have provided testimony and affidavits on behalf of Plaintiffs’ case in the long course of this litigation,” Totenberg wrote.

During an episode of his show, The Lindell Report, the MyPillow CEO displayed a variety of tin-foil hats. He said he no longer needs them after Totenberg’s ruling to hold a bench trial in Georgia to rule on the voting-machine case, which will begin on January 9, 2024.

“If you’re tuning in, and going ‘what is going on with these tin hats?’ Well, a judge ruled in Georgia about a week that—and this is Democrat judge, everybody, a far-left-leaning, Obama-appointed judge, and these are Democrats that took this case said, ‘hey, we need to get rid of these machines’—this judge ruled that the case could go forward,” Lindell said.

“And, by the way, she said just because you question our elections and these machines, does that mean you’re a conspiracy theorist?” Lindell added. “So, it was a beautiful ruling, and I’ve been able to take off my tin hat here.”

This is not the first time Lindell has used tin-foil hats as a prop in the wake of the Georgia ruling. In a recent appearance on fellow top Trump ally Steve Bannon’s WarRoom podcast, Lindell also symbolically took off a tin-foil hat while discussing Totenberg’s decision.

“I get to take off my tin-foil hat, you know. That’s what the judge said. We’re not a conspiracy guy anymore,” Lindell said. “Praise the Lord.”

While Totenberg has arranged for a bench trial in the Georgia voting-machine case —meaning she will decide the case instead of a jury—she still said that the parties could come to an agreement before the proceedings begin in January.

“The Court cannot wave a magic wand in this case to address the varied challenges to our democracy and election system in recent years, including those presented in this case,” Totenberg wrote.

“But reasonable, timely discussion and compromise in this case, coupled with prompt, informed legislative action, might certainly make a difference that benefits the parties and the public,” Totenberg added.
