Mike Lindell calls Ron DeSantis a ‘Trojan Horse’
The Hill ^ | 03/03/23 10:55 AM ET | BY JULIA SHAPERO

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, an ally of former President Trump, accused Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday of being a “Trojan horse,” calling into question the governor’s conservative credentials.

“The media is covering up for Ron DeSantis,” Lindell asserted while speaking on the convention center floor of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in a video shared online. “He is a Trojan Horse; he is the Trojan Horse. Do not believe anything you’re reading by the media about Ron DeSantis.”

Lindell pointed to DeSantis’s battle with Disney, which ignited after the company pushed back on the state’s Parental Rights in Education law. The law, which became known to critics as the “Don’t Say Gay” law, limited instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in elementary schools.

“Now I’ll tell you what: Ron DeSantis — and he’s got money behind him — did he do anything for Disney? Remember that was the big thing, you’re gonna go after Disney,” Lindell said. “He did nothing, they got everything they wanted, everything.”

DeSantis has long battled Disney and on Monday signed a bill ending Walt Disney World’s self-governing status and establishing a new state-controlled district, giving the governor more power over the area. The company has maintained control over the Reedy Creek Improvement District since the late 1960s.

Lindell’s criticisms of DeSantis echo those voiced by Trump, who has previously labeled the Florida governor a “RINO,” or Republican in Name Only. The former president has also attacked DeSantis’s COVID-19 response, taking aim at his decision to institute a lockdown and his support for vaccines.

No worries Mike. Desantis doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in Hell of challenging President Trump.
Desantis’ supporters are Cruz supporters. Their words give them away. When they argue against President Trump, if you pay attention, their arguments are carbon copies of Cruz supporters. In fact, their words are so nearly identical it’s uncanny.
Desantis’ benefactors will be the man’s undoing.
Desantis is funded almost exclusively by Yeb! Bush benefactors. Desantis is supported by Yeb! Bush and Paul Ryan.
Desantis is supported by the GOPe business as usual Globalist Deep State. Those people are funding him. 100%.

Bizarre logic.

And he gives the example by commenting.

Stupidest comment of the month.

Just a tad of sarcasm? The pillow and sheet biz does not make him smart about politics, admittedly a game understood by few and won by far fewer.

Indeed - someone is an expert on every issue/topic by virtue of their wealth and they founded a successful company. Extraordinary argument.

“Lindell is self made multi-millionaire, and richer than you and me and 100 other FR posters, combined. That makes him more qualified to comment than you or me.”

So I guess the Hollywood elites are more qualified to comment than anyone here based on that logic?

Of course - only flunkies would question the logic of a claim someone is an expert on every subject based on their wealth and there are automatically correct without having to substantiate or support it...makes sense.

Well, then, let’s hear what Zelensky has to say. That would also serve to get him to shut up on his never ending demands for more money and resources,

Oprah Winfrey comes to mind. No point in challenging anything she says - she’s automatically correct because of her status in life.

Not sure why Trump attracts these people.

“Mike Lindell is not, really, familiar to the story of Troy or any other Greek location.”

That is my opinion. If he has read Homer’s “Iliad,” (Achilles Rage) or “The Odyssey,” he would not use that comparison.
His heart would be changed, perhaps a common thing in the very early history of Greece.
I will give Mike a pass on this, only if he shuts up and convinces Donald Trump to shut up too.

I disagree. That sounds third-worldish.

In that case, we should listen to George Soros.

No! Because the Hollywood elites have no useful products I can use or buy. My Pillow on the other hand is the only pillow which cured my neck pain issues. Lindell is main street economy success. My hats off to this guy for using his hard earned money to help Trump.

Lindell is a walking loose canon. He is not very bright and I would say that no matter whom he was supporting. He is a bore and his success has led to him thinking he is a leader. All he can do is walk backwards grabbing his pillow.

Nope, you don’t HAVE to listen to anybody. But Soros is surely executing lot of power in United States because of his business success. Look at all the liberal AG’s he got elected all over the countrhy. Did you help elect a dog catcher in your town?
So yes, Business success means sometihng.

Lindell was invited to speak at CPAC. Were you invited?
