Mike Lindell is in Chicago — and he still has his mustache
CHICAGO — My Pillow Guy, Donald Trump adviser and conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell is in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention, as promised.
But, he hasn't yet fulfilled a vow he made to shave his signature mustache in order to go "incognito" at the convention where he was denied credentials.

Lindell was seen at the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago on Monday morning — fully mustached — before a scheduled press conference with Sens. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) who will be discussing "Kamala Harris’ disastrous economic policies that have led to sky-high inflation that is crushing American families," according to a release from the Trump campaign.
Lindell could be overheard saying he's planning to be unrecognizable with plans to shave the 'stache on Wednesday — something he said he's only done once in life to "play John Belushi," famous Chicago comedian and actor.

Lindell first told a conservative outlet, "Real America’s Voice," on Sunday that he would go "incognito" by shaving his famous cookie duster.
"You won’t recognize me," Lindell told Ben Bergquam at Real America's Voice on Sunday. Lindell was in the Chicago area for a Trump rally in McHenry, Ill., The Daily Beast reported.
Lindell has been outspoken about the issue of "election fraud," which has been refuted by numerous researchers and courts. Lindell has been sued for billions by Dominion Voting Systems over false 2020 election claims.
"One of the things we're doing which helps everyone is, secure your mail in ballot. Don't open it, and then when you go to vote, damn if they say you've already voted, you say, 'no, I have not," Lindell said on Monday at the Trump Tower.
