MyPillow CEO: During the Democratic National Convention (DNC), Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow, found himself in a contentious exchange with a 12-year-old content creator named Knowa De Brasco. Lindell, attempting to go “undercover” by shaving his moustache and donning a hat and sunglasses, approached various attendees to discuss his unfounded claims about the 2020 election.

In a video of the encounter, Lindell asserted that “257,000 votes” were unaccounted for in Georgia, a claim that Knowa challenged by asking, “So your source is ‘trust me, bro?'” Lindell’s attempts to defend his assertions were met with skepticism, leading Knowa to dismiss him with a blunt, “You’re full of crap.” This exchange quickly gained traction online, with many viewers highlighting the absurdity of a well-known figure like Lindell being outmatched in debate by a child.

Lindell’s appearance at the DNC was part of his broader strategy to infiltrate the event and promote his views, which he has framed as part of a fight against what he calls “cancel culture.” However, his efforts were met with criticism, including from DNC Chair Jaime Harrison, who expressed disapproval of Lindell’s actions towards Knowa, emphasizing that the young influencer represented the future of the party and was not to be disrespected
