Anderson Cooper makes MyPillow guy look like a guy who shouldn't even be allowed to sell pillows.

Anderson Cooper destroyed this Snake Oil Salesman, My Pillow's Mike Lindell trying to promote a fake/dangerous (Oleandrin) 'cure' for Covid. Why people buy these 'As Seen On TV' products like MY Pillow is beyond me... Most of the crap these idiots peddle are dollar store quality charging premium prices to justify "As Seen On TV".

"It should be noted that Lindell, a Trump supporter, owns a financial stake in Phoenix Biotechnology, which is developing the experimental oleandrin product."

"Oleandrin is a toxic cardiac glycoside found in the poisonous plant, oleander. As a main phytochemical of oleander, oleandrin is associated with the toxicity of oleander sap "

1 - My Pillow 'F' Rating for BBB
2 - $1 million dollar settlement in California for FAKE marketing claims.
3 - Using religion (giant cross) to sell his product and come up across a holier-than-thou person.
4 - Big Time MAGA supporter
5 - comes across as a creep

In the first ads I saw of that crappy pillow, he wasn’t wearing his cross externally. Took a few months before he started that “Look at me! I be a Christian cause I gots a cross” shit.

Kind of wish normal anchor at this hour, Brianna Keilar was on. She’s been tearing apart Trumpity Dumpity supporters in past few weeks. But beating up on the My Pillow guy vs how flabbergasted Anderson was when he interviewed the Las Vegas's mayor concerning reopening the casino was fun to see.

Why do all of them wear pink shirts on TV? Are they secretly saying something?

I'm a man who would never go near PINK.

actually called him a snake oil salesman to which he replied I don't call you names . . . Do we honestly think he believes in this product ' in his Christian non-science way' or is he a huckster or both?

Yeah, he's an investor in and a board member of the company that makes Oleandrin and he's promoting it as a Covid cure to Trump who's buying it hook, line and sinker.

Trump isn't buying. He's in the business of selling. Bullshit, that is. It's just another way to liberate! people from reality.

I mean... if Republicans start taking hydroxyclorquine, injecting bleach, and this new 'cure', i don't think i could cry any tears if Republicans start dropping like flies. Seems to kinda fix the problem we are having with our political system.

It's always fun to watch psychopaths devoid of moral standards express how much they believe in themselves. And why not? Look at the money they make from suckers' paranoid fears. It's genius to sell pillows to people who want to be asleep.

Imagine the conservative panic that would ensue if a cure for insanity was found. Think of the forces that would be brought to bear to keep it from coming to market.

You gotta admit... the man has a talent for shilling overpriced pillows and making a fat profit at it.

He seems to be overextending himself with his new line of sheets, towels, and mattress toppers, though. He's going to become the next Vince Offer if he's not careful.

A while back with my sister I went into a goodwill store. Sis was donating some stuff. When I walked in I noticed what had to have been 100+ MY PILLOWS in boxes all stacked up along the wall. And even more mypillow stacked up on ceiling racks. And I realized no one is buying this crappy pillow. People are giving them to goodwill to get rid of them. Probably unwanted Christmas gifts that can’t even be re-gifted. And most of the stacks of mypillow looked new, all still in their boxes. Everyone I have ever heard of that actually purchased one of these crappy mypillows just hated the pillow and the mypillow never lasted as advertised. And washing the mypillow destroys the pillow. All of this makes sense since this salesman is buddies with Donald Trump. Cons of a feather stick together.

With 5 determined to be well below industry standards of rigidity.

Kinda reminds me of something I saw at the grocery store...

CNN shouldn't have given him the air time.
I disagree, the more these con-men(women, people?)are exposed the better it is, get them on more interviews that won't feed them softball questions. expose them for what they really are.

i think they can be exposed without providing them direct air time. show this interview to the average Faux News viewer and they'll say that Anderson was being mean to the all American, Jesus loving, Trump humping businessman. i would rather have seen a piece about just the facts of Oleandrin and Mr Pillows financial connection.

I know I mean, it's just so unfair Anderson wouldn't let him get away with "the studies are out there! people do them!" and just assuming the rest of the adults are too stupid to understand that "1000 safety studies" doesn't meet any kind of standard of a 3 phase trial.

I mean, how mean! He said all he needs to say! "The studies are out there! People are saying! You do the research; I already did!"

Like the orange menace told Jonathan Swan in the Axios interview,
"Read the manuals" when Jonathan Swan asked for proof to "who said you can test too much?"

Seriously WTF word salad.

Honestly, ask yourself what the difference is between this guy and the Republican Party. To most of us he sounds crazy but to the people who listen to Fox news, that cross sold them. (And honestly, the fact that he took his cross out to wear it over his shirt should discount him as a phony to anyone watching him).
