Mike Lindell announces telethon to pay his legal bills, calls Stephen Colbert a 'scumbag'

For the past two years, Minnesota pillow magnate Mike Lindell has been trying to convince us that a dude who has the personality of Hitler’s id and sounds like a pod of elephant seals getting sucked into a jet engine couldn’t have possibly lost the 2020 presidential election. That election was obviously “stoled,” as Mike so folksily puts it, and there’s literally nothing that will convince him otherwise.

In fact, he’s so wedded to his frowzy narrative that he’s bet the farm pillow company on his conviction that he’s the only one who can secure our elections going forward. And now, having spent around $60 million on his election integrity fight—according to one extremely unreliable source named Mike Lindell—he claims he’s out of money and can no longer pay the lawyers working to defend him and his company against the billion-dollar-plus defamation lawsuits two voting machine companies have brought against him. 

It’s a ridiculous situation, of course, which is why late-night comedians—along with dozens of other wits and wags—are ridiculing it. After all, Donald Trump, destroyer of worlds, has utterly ruined this poor yutz’s life, and he can’t begin to see it.
