Michael Lindell launched his new social media platform today. It did not go well.

John Fea   |  April 19, 2021

Here is Oscar Gonzalez at CNET:

Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and an ardent fan of former President Donald Trump, spent months developing a new social media platform after he was banned from Twitter due to his constant tweets regarding bogus claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. He planned for his new site to launch Monday, and it didn’t have a smooth rollout. 

Frank is Lindell’s social media platform, which was intended to go live Monday morning, but so far has consisted of him live streaming more misinformation about voter fraud. Earlier in the day, the site went down multiple times, which Lindell claimed was a “massive attack.” He also contended with multiple prank callers, including one who pretended to be Trump. 

Lindell did release a bit of news Monday morning with the launch of Frank. He said he filed a $1.6 billion lawsuit against Dominion Voting Systems for “suppression of speech and attacks on the company.” This comes two months after the company sued him for the same amount for voter fraud claims. 

Read the rest here.

Lindell talks with Roger Stone. He still thinks Trump will be back in office in August 2021:
