VIDEO-Anderson Cooper and the MyPillow Guy Got Scrappy on CNN – OutKick
If you watch television, you haven’t been able to escape MyPillow creator Mike Lindell, whose commercials are omnipresent. It appears as though he’s also an investor in oleandrin, and had the treatment pitched to President Trump.
Today, Lindell did an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN. The two got scrappy as they went back and forth about Lindell’s belief in the drug. United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson’s name also kept being brought up:
Mike Lindell, creator of MyPillow, is promoting an unproven Covid-19 treatment, and the President is said to be "enthusiastic."
In a wild live interview, @AndersonCooper challenged Lindell:
"You really are like a snakeoil salesman… telling people to drink your amazing elixir." pic.twitter.com/lCjhfkMUVZ— CNN Newsroom (@CNNnewsroom) August 18, 2020
It seems safe to say that no minds will be changed from this exchange.
