Gun-Grabber Hogg to Stuff Pillows with Astroturf
AmmoLand ^ | 15 February, 2021 | David Codrea

These are the fellow Americans of all backgrounds and affinities, gun-grabbers like David Hogg, and rope-selling capitalists like Kohl’s and Bed, Bath & Beyond who are willing to see losing their jobs as collateral damage in their campaign to destroy MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell for his political beliefs. (MyPillow/Facebook)

“Parkland survivor David Hogg [is] taking on MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell,” the New York Post reports. “[H]e’ll team up with the progressive tech entrepreneur William LeGate in an effort to create a rival pillow firm.”

This development coincides with the announcement that Hogg is taking a leave of absence from March for Our Lives.

“[LeGate] and I can and will run a better business and make a better product all with more happy staff than Mike the pillow guy while creating US based Union jobs and helping people,” the story quotes a Hogg tweet. “We also hope to hire formerly incarcerated people, vets and the workers from my pillow in the case we put them out of business.”

Hogg’s qualifications to run a business are left unstated because his experience at doing a startup and then managing one is about the same as his experience co-authoring a book without financing and “guidance” from behind-the-scenes pros. His main claim to “fame,” although some might argue it’s to notoriety, is being a “Parkland survivor,” a status wholly due to chance, and “achieved” with neither acumen nor competence.

Anyone with factory experience, aware of the myriad interrelated disciplines required, will quickly peg this arrogant poseur as a pure Astroturf figurehead. That is quickly becoming apparent, from Hogg’s initial suggestion to “Call

A pillow company with Hogg as figurehead, is a mechanism to move dollars from ideological donors to Hogg's pocket.

The “Good Pillow” name is already taken.

Well done on your due diligence Mr. Hogg.

Hey Hogg, biting pillows doesn’t give you experience at making and selling them.

He may sell some pillows but he will never catch Mike.

I don’t think My Pillow is being impacted by all of this. I placed an order directly from their website when Kohl’s and BB&B quit selling their products. They usually ship right away, but an email I received after I placed the order said that the order would be delayed as they had such overwhelming support from customers. I still haven’t received the products, so I’m glad for the delay as it let’s me know the boycott failed and just caused an increase in business.

Is Lindell coming out with the

Hog Safety Pillow yet??

Maybe he should have some fun with this and offer a New Pillow with a built in padded holster that holds most handguns safely.

The Hog Safety Pillow!

Wow - I always forget how ugly that guy is until I see a picture.

If I looked on the mirror and saw that face, I’d stick my head in a wood chipper.

Thought for sure he’d call it the “Woke Pillow Co”.

You can bet he’ll get fat government contracts for pillows for prisons, military, etc.

I think you’re on to something.

He could call his company the “Bite Me Pillow Company”.

If this were in the "Babylon Bee", I would argue that it's too preposterous to even be funny: "

“Call it our pillow because we’re all socialists.”

“Looking to hire a consultant with experience in the United States manufacturing industry who can refer me to – and help coordinate – the manufacturing of a high-volume of union & sustainably-made, rectangular neck rests for bedtime sleep,”

“I NEED A UNIONIZED PILLOW MANUFACTURER IN THE US We’re having a hard time finding one If you know one PLEASE dm,” Hogg tweeted. He followed that up with the bright idea to hire “unemployed Theatrical Stage Employees that lost their job due to covid.”

“David & I are in the process of building a governing Board of Directors which will be largely composed of biz leaders in under-represented groups – women, people of color, sexual orientation, etc.,” LeGate tweeted. Hogg went on to announce three “advisory board” picks, an LGBT “community organizer,” a “Pulse Nightclub survivor,” and a leftwing “pollster.”

The fact that it's real makes it positively hilarious.
