Mike Lindell, MyPillow.com, is trying to find out what happened during the 2020 election.
Detractors have targeted him for his efforts to investigate and document the fraud he believes occurred.
Lindell, however, has not lost heart as a patriot. He even described how he made masks accessible to those who needed them. He says that he has remained with the masks.
In an interview with The Daily Beast Lindell stated that he still owns around two million masks, but that the mask mandates have been lifted and he can no longer give them away.
“We gave away five million masks to the public, free across this country, and it cost about $4.8 million to make them. Anyone can have them now. I don’t care,” he said.
“How many of those do we have, that we ought to just burn?” he said to an aide who confirmed that it was around two million.
He stated that the main reason he couldn’t sell many of his masks was due to a variety of factors. However, one major factor was the undercutting of prices by foreign companies.
He said, “All of the sudden, there were many masks all around, almost like the industry knew it was coming, and waited for prices go up.” “Now, I’m probably getting $7 million from my pocket that we’re stuck with.”
“We were only gonna donate to VA hospitals, nursing homes, but the FDA and [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] made it that you could only use certain masks from certain factories,” he said in reference to the regulations that set the bar at N95-grade masks or higher.
Lindell was charitable and purchased the masks from other distributors, giving them away to different groups, including nursing homes, police departments, overseas ministries, and a Navajo Tribe.
“I flew down to visit the Navajo Indians in Arizona and met with the vice president of the Navajo Nation,” he said. “There were about 268,000 people in the tribe, and they really needed help, you know, and I donated a million masks to them alone.”
“I don’t know where we got them,” he said. “We got them from distributor people, so I would buy them and I would give them out. We did a lot of coordination-type stuff for people —‘you can take your mask and go over here.’ I have some of the surgical masks left.”
However, leftists continue to target retail chains that sell MyPillow.com products despite Trump’s support.
His products were removed by Kohls and Bath, Beyond.
