MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell continues to push the false and repeatedly debunked claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump.

Lindell specifically asserts that President Joe Biden didn't truly win Georgia, despite the fact that conservative Republicans Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger have both confirmed Biden's victory in the state was legitimate.

Recently, Lindell faced ridicule on Twitter after an incident where he yelled at Knowa, a 12-year-old attendee of the Democratic National Convention, about Georgia's 2020 election results. Lindell shouted that "257,000 votes" in Georgia were "missing from the 2020 election" and angrily insisted, "This just came out. You're behind…. You need to read your news."

The encounter sparked reactions online, with Rolling Stone's Nikki McCann Ramirez commenting, "Republicans literally fighting children at the DNC," and law professor Anthony Michael Kreis questioning, "Why is the pillow guy harassing children about Georgia elections?" Washington Post columnist Philip Bump humorously likened Lindell's behavior to having a "Marilyn Manson Now Going Door-To-Door Trying To Shock People energy."
