'Mike is a friend of this network': Newsmax anchor is forced to make grovelling apology to voter fraud conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell for storming off his own show when the MyPillow CEO barked about '100 percent proof' in a wild interview

A Newsmax anchor who stormed off during an interview with Mike Lindell made a grovelling apology to the MyPillow boss last night.

Bob Sellers expressed profuse regret at how Tuesday night's interview with Lindell had descended into a shouting match over voter fraud.

The anchor had desperately asked his producers to cut Lindell off as the CEO barked about having '100 percent proof' of manipulation by the Dominion Voting machines.

Exasperated and red-faced Sellers got out of his chair and walked off set, leaving his co-host Heather Childers to carry on without him.

'Mike is a friend of this network, and we were supposed to discuss Twitter's decision to ban him and the impacts of cancel culture on his business.

'But there was some confusion and Mike thought that we were to talk about vote fraud in the recent election. It's a topic we have covered extensively on Newsmax.

'I was frustrated that we couldn't focus on the current, very pressing issue of free speech and cancel culture and, in hindsight, there is no question that I could have handled the end of the interview differently.

Lindell was appearing on Tuesday's show after Twitter banned the corporate account for MyPillow, citing 'repeated violations of our Civic Integrity Policy'.

He’s lying. He’s done this before — became combative when a guest talked about election fraud.

It's a topic we have covered extensively on Newsmax.

It's a topic you issued an abject apology to Dominion on, in order to avoid a billion dollar law suit you mean.

Maybe he can apologize for the entire Newsmax staff and management continuing to make believe the election wasn't stolen.

No, we're NOT moving on. Fk Newsmax.

This is such bs. Bring us the producers who instructed Blob to act. exactly. the. way. he. did.

Blob has no more cognizant capability to form the necessary offensive mens rea to actually commit the offense, than the chair he was sitting in.

These freaking Millienials are just mind-numbed robots on both sides. Gonna be a reckoning, kids, and you ain't gonna like it.

Why can’t interviewers just let the interviewees speak. That’s how it works. Let the interviewee speak and let the audience decide if he’s right or wrong. The interviewer should not be part of the story.

This guy’s “apology” bothers me even more than the original incident. He needs to be fired.
