Mike Lindell was served Tuesday at his “Election Truth Rally” on Colorado’s Capitol steps.
Turns out the lawsuit was from Dominion Voting Systems’ former executive Eric Coomer, who was falsely accused of voter fraud as part of one-term president Donald Trump’s Big Lie and is now suing Lindell (among many others) for defamation.
Wednesday, on his The Lindell Report, the MyPillow guy went off on a major league rant about Eric Coomer, the former director of product strategy and security for Dominion Voting Systems.
“He served papers, everybody! Eric Coomer, you are a criminal! Eric Coomer, your lawyers better look out. I’m not putting up with this. MyPillow doesn’t even know who you are. My employees — I have 2,700 employees. Shame on you, Eric Coomer. You did a very, very stupid move, Mr. Coomer!”
“You’re number one on my list. You’re disgusting. You belong behind bars. I heard you ran into a building the other day drunk or whatever you were, you know, whatever you did. You know, allegedly! I’ll say that for the lawyers.”
“But I will accuse you of this. You’ve been part of the biggest crime this world has ever seen, Eric Coomer, president of Dominion! You’ve even said what you did or what you were going to do. You’re disgusting. You’re disgusting, you’re evil and you belong behind bars and we will not stop to you are behind bars.”
“We’re going to melt down your little machines and you’re going to hang on to your little prison bars. ‘Let me out, let me out!’ Should have thought about that, Eric Coomer, before you did crimes against the United States, the world and quite frankly all of humanity.”
Coomer alleged in the complaint that his reputation had been “irreparably tarnished” by Lindell and Frank Speech. Coomer added that Lindell had posted “numerous false statements, defamatory interviews, and other dishonest content” maligning him on Frank Speech, along with “a sales pitch for products from MyPillow.”
“Despite Defendants’ baseless claims of election fraud being disproven by credible authorities across political parties, they persist in their campaign to profit from the ‘Big Lie’ by destroying the lives of private individuals like Dr. Coomer,” the court filing said. “They have not acknowledged the harm they have caused, nor have they retracted any of their false statements.”
The filing added that Coomer received “frequent credible death threats,” which Coomer’s legal team attributed to “unwarranted distrust” inspired by what the suit called Lindell’s “lies.”
