Says Paul Best for Fox Business, “MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who was permanently suspended from Twitter last year after repeatedly making the baseless claim that former President Trump won the 2020 election, created a new account on the social media platform Sunday but was banned again just hours later. ‘Hello everybody, I’M BACK ON TWITTER. My only account is @MikeJLindell! Please RT and FOLLOW to SPREAD THE WORD,’ Lindell tweeted shortly before noon. A Twitter spokesperson told Fox Business around 5:00 p.m. that Lindell’s new account had been ‘permanently suspended for violating the Twitter Rules on ban evasion.’”
