According to reports, MyPillow CEO and voter fraud conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell bailed from the stage of his cyber symposium this Wednesday right around when news broke that Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.3 billion lawsuit against him would move forward.
From Insider:
Lindell attempted to have the defamation lawsuit dismissed during a hearing in June. But US District Judge Carl J. Nichols on Wednesday ruled the three defamation lawsuits against Lindell and the pro-Trump lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani could proceed in full. The suits are seeking more than a billion dollars in damages from each party.
As Insider points out, when the news broke around 6pm on Wednesday that the lawsuit was going forward, Lindell got up from his chair and scurried off the stage.
During Lindell’s absence, the livestream of his event was replaced by a video reel showing news articles touting voter-fraud claims next to an image of Lindell hugging a pillow, Insider reports.

According to Salon’s Zachary Petrizzo, enthusiasm for the 72-hour symposium seemed to peter out on the second day.
“As Mike Lindell talks about his “evidence” on day two, the crowd wasn’t having it and has mostly left,” Petrizzo tweeted along with a photo of the room with scattered attendance.
