On Monday, President Trump lauded various executives who have changed their companies’ agenda to help produce items in the battle against the coronavirus ravaging the United States. One of those executives was Mike Lindell of My Pillow, who has pledged to use his factories to make 50,000 N95 masks a day for healthcare professions to use.
But to the leftist media, the occasion of Trump giving honor to a man repurposing his factories to help in a time of crisis was an opportunity for them to continue their sniping at the president.
Some examples included Vox’s Aaron Rupar, who tweeted, “The My Pillow guy Mike Lindell says this: ‘God gave us grace on November 8, 2016, to change the course we were on. God had been taken out of our schools & lives, a nation had turned its back on God. I encourage you to use this time at home to get back in the word. Read our Bible.'”

CNN executive editor Ram Ramgopal was offended by the idea that Lindell spoke of the Bible; Ramgopal acted as though that was all Lindell was doing, snapping, “In case you were wondering what My Pillow is doing in a time of coronavirus.”

Newsweek columnist Seth Abramson: “Dear Trumpists, *this* is why media doesn’t want to cover your God-Emperor’s coronavirus rallies: because the g*ddamned My Pillow CEO was holding forth from the lectern on a day that 500+ Americans died and 20,000+ got sick from the virus the briefing was *intended* to focus on.”
