Tuesday "social media censorship" segment on Newsmax ended in dramatic fashion as MyPillow founder and ardent President Donald Trump supporter Mike Lindell ranted about election fraud until one of the anchors walked off the set.
One of Newsmax's live broadcast anchors, Bob Sellers, appealed to the show's producers "can we get out of here please," after he asked Lindell whether he should be permanently or temporarily banned from Twitter. Instead of responding to the question, Lindell launched into a tirade about voting machine fraud and other false conspiracies that pulled several TV networks into legal problems late last year. Sellers could be seen removing his microphones and physically departing the set as Lindell continued yelling.
The Newsmax anchors then read a disclaimer which sought to counter Lindell's wide array of election conspiracies about President Joe Biden's victory being "illegitimate." Lindell claimed both his personal Twitter account and his MyPillow business account were taken down because he has "100 percent proof" of voting fraud during the 2020 presidential election.
Sellers interrupted Lindell's rant to tell viewers "you're talking about machines that we at Newsmax have not been able to verify any of those kinds of allegations, nothing substantive there." The anchor then read off a legal disclaimer that many TV network figures, including Fox News host Jeanine Pirro and Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, were obliged to read after receiving cease and desist orders from Smartmatic. Lindell attempted to talk over Sellers' reading of the disclaimer and appeared to accuse him of holding the line for the "status quo."
"While there was some evidence of clear voting fraud and election irregularities, the election results in every state were certified and Newsmax accepts the results as legal and final and the courts have also supported that view," Sellers said in the disclaimer.

PATRIOT PING.
“false conspiracies”
Mike should have taken the empty room and turned it into an infomercial for his product.
The election fraud is exposed every day in that it is verboten to speak of.
Verboten.
Ministry of Truth.
Dominion is probably going to own MyPillow.
Later that same day Mike Lindell went on Rob Schmitt’s show and said what a good friend Newsmax is to him. Lindell is not shunning Newsmax over this.
Posted for about the sixth or seventh time.
Claiming the ‘election was stolen’ is going to be about the equivalent of making racist statements going forward: kiss your job and reputation goodbye.
The *only* people actually saying they believe in a stolen election post here or on similar boards.
Story is from Newsweak (AKA Newsweek) so expect the story to be biased and at least partially fake news.
Sellers is a poor man’s chris wallace.....and we all know what he is.
I admire people like Mike who have balls of steel.
Unlike many here on FR!!!
Why, exactly?
The fraud was done through their systems.
I have yet to see conclusive proof that it was a free and fair election. There are just too many unaddressed charges for me to think the election was not stolen. I am happy to change my mind if a responsible person can counter all of the evidence that supports massive election fraud.
I watched it this morning. It was odd that they would ask him on to talk about getting cancelled, then cancelled him mid interview.
“he asked Lindell whether he should be permanently or temporarily banned from Twitter.”
WHAT?! kinna BS question is that?
What “Hello Mister Lindell should you be arrested for beating your wife?!” kinna question is that. Presuming guilt and asking what his punishment should be. Who are they employing at that network anyway? What did they pick them up from high school or something? They need to fire that host immediately for being an idiot.
Lindell probably lit off on him like a roman candle!
YES they have.
So what? I missed the sixth and seventh times.
I guess if I went around and claimed Mike Lindell stuffed his pillows with cancer causing material, you'd think I had balls of steel too.
