Officers were called to check on the welfare of an adult male in one of our local neighborhoods standing motionless outside and near a home wearing no coat in the cold and hugging a pillow. Upon arriving on-scene, Officers discovered the adult male in need of possible assistance was actually a cardboard cutout of MyPillow CEO and inventor Mike Lindell. Those cardboard cutouts sure can look real from a distance and the caller certainly was not wanting to get too close thinking who is this deranged person standing outside in the cold hugging a pillow; always better to call the policeIt's still unclear why there was a MyPillow Guy cut-out left on the streets of Jordan, MN.
The real Mike Lindell spoke on that very same day (February 28th) at CPAC, where he made headlines by asserting that God personally intervened and chose President Trump to beat Hilary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election:
“As I stand before you today, I see the greatest president in history. Of course he is. He was chosen by God," Lindell told the audience. “God answered our prayers, our millions of prayers, and gave us grace, and a miracle happened on Nov. 8, 2016... We were given a second chance and time granted to get our country back on track with our conservative values and getting people saved in Jesus’s name.”I'm always curious why people like Lindell don't believe that God personally chose former presidents like President Obama or Clinton, just Republicans like President Trump. Was God distracted during the 2008 presidential campaign? Something to ponder...
