The chief executive of MyPillow Inc., one of Fox News’s big advertisers, said he is pulling his ads from the network after a disagreement over a proposed commercial.

Mike Lindell said he made the decision after Fox News declined to run a commercial linked to his efforts to promote his claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Security and election officials have said there is no proof of widespread election fraud.

“It’s unfortunate Mr. Lindell has chosen to pause his commercial time on FOX News given the level of success he’s experienced in building his brand through advertising on the number one cable news network,” Fox News said in a statement.

Fox didn’t say whether it blocked the ad.

Mr. Lindell said he wanted to cancel the ads as soon as possible and that he had told his ad buyer to inform Fox News.

Mr. Lindell said he had asked the network to air a commercial promoting a cyber symposium, which he is scheduled to live stream next month. Mr. Lindell said the commercial wouldn’t specifically mention claims of election fraud. But he has said the symposium will prove the 2020 election was stolen from then-President Donald Trump through manipulation of election machines.

It's his prerogative. Lindell feels very strongly that election fraud took place. He hasn't wavered.

I think it's fair to say that he feels very strongly about a number of things.

The guy walked away from drug addiction and built a successful company from nothing, making all of his products in America.

What the fuck have you ever done, besides don a silly hat and suit, with pointy-toed shoes?

Apart from your wife, you mean?

My kids look like me. Do your kids look like you?

Hey, there's no need to start insulting our children.

Strong feelings only work for the woke.

I dunno, I'm starting to get a pretty strong feeling about this thread -- in the region of my throwing up place stomach.

Key Trump Advisor right?

I don't give a flying fuck what he is or what you think he is. He has his beliefs. He is successful, pulling himself up from a mighty deep, dark hole. If he wants to pull $50M out of FOX, that's his business.

I get it. A lot of people feel the same way about Bobby Fisher.
