MyPillow continues offering ‘FightForTrump’ discount code

MyPillow, a bedding company, is still offering a “FightForTrump” discount code for its products despite other companies trying to distance themselves from President Trump following last week’s Capitol riot.

Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow, has been a longtime supporter of Trump. The “FightForTrump” discount code went up last Wednesday, the day the Capitol was attacked. 

Lindell attended the rally that Trump spoke at before the riot began. It is not clear if the “FightForTrump” code was up before then, The New York Times reports.

In an interview with Newsmax, Lindell attempted to blame the riot on antifa, the loosely organized anti-fascist movement, despite the FBI saying there were no signs of antifa at the riot. 

There were “probably some undercover antifa that dressed as Trump people and did some damage to windows and got in there,” Lindell said. He also claimed in the interview that Trump would be president for another four years, despite the electoral votes now certified for President-elect Joe Biden. 

Many other companies have made the move to distance themselves from Trump over the riot, including banks that previously lent money to Trump.  

Lindell is known for peddling the same election fraud conspiracy theories as Trump. Twitter has flagged two of his tweets since the riot for false information.

MyPillow is a prolific advertiser on conservative media. It is not clear how long MyPillow intends to keep the “FightForTrump” code active.

The Hill has reached out to MyPillow for comment.
