An online activist group has questioned major retail companies including Walmart and Amazon for selling MyPillow products, after company CEO Mike Lindell's response to last week's riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Sleeping Giants, an activist group that aims to combat hate speech and bigotry online, tweeted at Walmart, Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond and Lowes on Friday asking if they would continue to carry MyPillow products after Lindell, according to them, "called for the insurrection."
"Will you continue to carry MyPillow after their CEO called for the insurrection and played a role in supporting it last week?" the tweet read.
The group attached a video of Lindell pushing the false narrative that the presidential election was stolen due to voter fraud, and assuring voters that "Donald Trump is going to be your president for the next four years."
In the video, which was reportedly taken after the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, Lindell tells viewers to "pray for protection for everybody that's standing up to these guys."
