LOL it’s true. He wants to drop pillows via mini parachutes.
The MyPillow CEO and Trump acolyte Mike Lindell said he plans to drop pillows to truckers in the Canadian “Freedom Convoy” after his overland shipments were delayed.
The “Freedom Convoy” protests against vaccine mandates and COVID-19 restrictions started in Ottawa on January 28 and have since spread across the country, disrupting services and supply chains.
Lindell, who has backed the anti-vaccination movement, announced Sunday he was sending 12,000 pillows from his Minnesota factory to the “brave truckers” blocking roads near the US-Canada border and Ottawa.
But he told Insider’s Cheryl Teh on Wednesday that the ground delivery was delayed as he awaited permission from Canadian authorities.
Lindell told The Daily Beast that he had since chartered a helicopter and planned to jettison the pillows over the truckers using “little parachutes” on Thursday.
“We need to get the MyPillows to the people!” he told the outlet.
“I just confirmed with them [helicopter company], and yes, this is the plan. We have the helicopter confirmed, but we are moving the time up to 11 a.m. [Thursday].”
Lindell told The Daily Beast he could not disclose the location of the pillow drop.
