Sebastian Gorka Cuts Off the ‘MyPillow Guy’ for Spouting Voting Machine Conspiracies and It’s Amazing

Former White House adviser and Trump-loving radio host Seb Gorka leaped into damage control mode when fellow MAGA fan Mike Lindell trotted out another baseless conspiracy theory centered around a voting machine company.

Gorka, guest-hosting Monday on the Newsmax program on Greg Kelly Reports, was discussing President Donald Trump’s election loss when the My Pillow CEO, immediately launched into a false claim about Dominion voting machines, even though this claim has been widely debunked by a slew of news organizations. Heck, it’s even been thoroughly debunked by Fox & Friends’ Steve Doocy, Mediaite reports. Newsmax found itself in a bit of hot water last week, when another voting machine company, Smartmatic sent a compliance letter threatening the outlet with legal action for spreading false claims on the air. That spurred Newsmax to run a lengthy series debunking its own claims.

But despite the fact that this has been thoroughly debunked, Lindell waded waist-deep into the batsh*ttery.

“I’ll tell you what, nobody realizes something, but a miracle we had on Election Night,” Lindell said, having also proclaimed he is “100% sure Trump will be president for four more years. “At 11:15, you know you talked about all this fraud, doctor, the biggest fraud is the Dominion machines and, at 11:15 on election night our great president because…”

And Gorka jumped right in.

“Mike, Mike, I don’t want to discuss, Mike we’re not, we’re not going to get into the minutiae of the details,” he said, diverting Lindell before he could cause further legal fun for Newsmax.

Before Lindell could respond, Gorka jumped in with a question.

“I want to ask you because this show is about courage…” he said.

“Right,” Lindell responded.

“It’s hosted by a former Marine,” Gorka said. “I want to know why you, Mike Lindell, are supporting the president in these legal cases.”

Lindell used that moment to plod on with his baseless theory.

“Because everything’s on the line here, everything’s on the line, our freedoms, my American dream that I’ve lived, everybody’s American dream,” he said, only to again promote the widely and successfully debunked Dominion conspiracy theory that votes had somehow been switched. “If you let them steal this, which I 100 percent know that’s what they went on. This is over six million votes that got flipped, over six million.”

I don’t know if that’s going to wind up getting Newxmax in even more trouble but you can watch the almost unbelievable segment below.
