Mike Lindell vows to take on satanic statues 'first thing' after being sworn in

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a Republican candidate for Minnesota governor, vowed to take on satanic statues immediately after being sworn in, should he win.

On Friday, War Room podcast host Steve Bannon asked the pillow executive about his agenda for the state.

"Mike Lindell, what's the first issue you're going to deal with after you take your hand off the Holy Bible after being sworn in as the governor of Minnesota?" Bannon wondered. "What's the first thing you're going to deal with?"

"We've got to ban Sharia law," Lindell replied. "The Islam coming into Minnesota when we were the Trojan horse for it. I said it five years ago. Back then, they called me racist."

He also promised to bring back an old version of Minnesota's flag, which was replaced over concerns that it was offensive to Native Americans. Conspiracy theorists falsely claimed that Gov. Tim Walz (D) had selected the new flag as a tribute to Somalia.

Lindell's plans for Minnesota didn't stop there.

"Remember, Governor Walz put a satanic statue in our capital in St. Paul," Lindell asserted. "And then he got an award for it. So that's somewhere in the Capitol."

"Hang on!" Bannon exclaimed. "This is what I'm saying about these Marxists... That Minneapolis is going to be terrible because they're all Marxists up there in the public education system. This is what they do: applaud and want a satanic statue in the actual people's house in Minnesota. This is what turns them on."

"Absolutely," Lindell agreed. "You got our governor, what he said back then, he goes, well, we've got to be fair. I'm going, be fair to the devil? I go, you know, it's beyond comprehension."

According to Fox 9, the state granted Minnesota Satanists a permit to display the statue in the Capitol for about two weeks during the 2024 holiday season.
