Mike Lindell flies into a rage after 'garbage' Mike Johnson speaks at Trump trial
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was unexpectedly upset after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) spoke at Donald Trump's hush money trial in New York on Tuesday.
During remarks in Manhattan, Johnson declared that Trump was "innocent of these charges," which include falsifying business records to hide hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
That, however, did not satisfy Lindell when he spoke to podcaster Steve Bannon moments later. The pillow executive was upset because Johnson used notes while speaking. He also questioned Johnson's Christianity.
"Well, here's Mike Johnson," Lindell mocked, glancing at a note card. "This is really bad to Donald Trump. Oh, wait a minute, it says here I'm a Christian. Just hold on, let me look at my notes."

"This guy has no passion for our country!" he said of Johnson. "He has no passion for our great real president! This guy has to go."
Lindell insisted that it was "disgusting" for Johnson to use notes as a speaking aid.
"I'll tell you what's going on in our country," he opined. "Donald Trump is a uniter of the people. All people are getting united because you know what?"
"The people have seen through this garbage of like Speaker Johnson up there saying, this was really bad," Lindell added. "Really? You had to read that off your notes, Speaker Johnson, to tell you it's a bad that's up there? Pathetic, pathetic."
