Mr Lindell’s livestream is hours-long, with a substantial section criticising a Facebook fact checking partner and editor in chief of LeadStories Alan Duke, who published a debunk of Mr Lindell’s “Absolute Proof” election fraud documentary. Ongoing cyber attacks are being conducted against the platform, but Mr Lindell said in a longer press release that there was a “backup plan” and the site would be active soon. The MyPillow CEO is facing a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit filed in February 2021 from Dominion Voting Systems, alleging that Mr Lindell “knew there was no real ‘evidence’ supporting his claims” that “Dominion had stolen the 2020 election”, calling the accusations a “big lie”.
