Election denier and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is claiming that Fox News stopped running his company’s commercials on the network, asserting that he was “canceled” in an effort to silence him, a claim that Fox denies. 

Lindell went public on Friday, sharing a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, where apart from pleading for monetary support in a time of “cancelation,” he suspected that the network is “getting rid” of “his voice.” 

In the Friday video, Lindell speculated that Fox is silencing him because his online platform TV/FrankSpeech online channel hired former Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, who recently interviewed former President Trump. Dobbs’s show was canceled three years ago. The MyPillow CEO also quipped it is because he wants to “our election platforms,” something that Fox also denies. 

Fox disputes Lindell’s claims, saying that the removal of the ads was due to financial issues. “As soon as their account is paid, we would be happy to accept their advertising,” Fox spokeswoman Irena Briganti told the Associated Press

Lindell admitted that he owes $7.7 million to Fox and that, on average, he spent $1 million a week to run his ads on the network.
