Mike Lindell's chaotic rise threatened by new adversity

Just a few months ago, Mike Lindell was flying high. The pillow mogul had become a key surrogate for President Donald Trump and won legions of fans — and customers — with his ubiquitous presence on Fox News. His redemption story from cocaine to riches and Jesus was a good one as he publicly mulled a run for governor, and the chair of the Minnesota Republican Party had already endorsed him.

The intervening months have been less kind.

He became a point man for Trump’s effort to overturn the election results, even as the MAGA movement took a violent turn, overrunning and ransacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Lindell accused left-wing activists of a setup, despite a bevy of video evidence debunking the claim.
