Mike Lindell is taking his pillow and going home.
The MyPillow CEO told The Wall Street Journal on Thursday that because Fox News won't run a commercial promoting his upcoming livestream event, he is going to pull all of his ads from the network. Lindell is one of the loudest promoters of the false claim that there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, and while Lindell told the Journal the commercial wasn't going to mention this, he previously stated that he planned on using the livestream to prove electoral manipulation occurred.

In a statement to the Journal, a Fox News spokesperson said it is "unfortunate Mr. Lindell has chosen to pause his commercial time on Fox News given the level of success he's experienced building his brand through advertising on the No. 1 cable news network." The spokesperson did not say whether the network blocked Lindell's commercial.
