I was skimming the live thread and someone commented if it was being reported in the LSM so I decided to see if there were any news articles (of course I would!).

There are, mostly about how the symposium had to be delayed. But I ran into this one. It appears to be based on an article at Newsweek (I know, I know) but you have to register with them now for 5 free articles and I ain’t doing it. And of course left-slanted writing. But here it is for free:

Ahead of his long-in-the-works cyber symposium, Mike Lindell is wrapped up in a conspiracy theory — and for once, he didn’t start it. Texas State Representative Steve Toth believes that the MyPillow founder is being “set up by the Left” in his futile attempts to prove that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.

“The Republican congressman reveals in a video from the Undercurrent that he’s going to re-file Texas House Bill 24 to seek an independent audit of the state’s election results,” Newsweek reports. “He compares the audit to audits currently underway in Maricopa County, Arizona and Fulton County, Georgia.” In the video, Toth (whose Twitter bio reads “#ProLife #Christian #GOP”) says, “You just follow the evidence, right? Problem is, this is not done electronically, and that’s the course that Mike Lindell is on right now with MyPillow. And the problem is, I think he’s being set up by the Left.” When someone off-camera asks whether Lindell is being fed “bad information,” the politician replies, “It’s one of these things where it’s — look what the left hand’s doing.” He begins waving his hand. “Look, look, look, look. Even though it’s the right hand.” Big if true:

“It’s always been paper,” Toth continues. “And the Democrats now are trying to create this conspiracy, that it’s electronic so that we’ll move back to paper, solely paper. And they’re foisting this scam on us, and Republicans are buying into it. It’s paper.” Toth doesn’t name which Democratic entities he believes are misleading Lindell and Republicans into examining voting machines.

The Left is setting Lindell up to fail, Toth believes, to distract from the real issue: that the election was stolen (it wasn’t) using paper ballots, not electronic ones. I almost feel bad for Lindell — then I think about it for a half-second longer and the sympathy is gone. Anyway, Toth previously appeared at a “Stop the Steal” rally in support of former-President Trump, but you probably guessed that already. Watch the video below
