Mike Lindell, the controversial founder of MyPillow and vocal ally to Donald Trump, is claiming ignorance over the neo-Nazi symbolism in his pillow prices.
Lindell’s pillow company, which he founded in 2009, is currently offering customers the “Standard Classic MyPillow” for $14.88 reduced from $49.98.
But the discount has got critics pointing out a popular neo-Nazi symbol lurking behind the price.
The numbers 14 and 88 are two popular white supremacist numeric symbols, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
The first is a nod to the “14 words” slogan, “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,” coined by David Lane – a member of the white supremacist terrorist group known as The Order.
Meanwhile, 88 is a common code meaning “Heil Hitler”, because H is the eighth letter in the alphabet.
I appreciate your candor. I don’t agree with you but I don’t think I’m going to change your opinion. I wish you would spend some time not ‘being woke’ and using buzzwords straight from Fox News that you have apparently never seen, but instead looking at your angry behavior. No one said you weren’t woke enough, but I’m really curious why you wouldn’t want to be woke? What does it mean to you to respect other people and be awake to their struggles? You may not like them, they may clash with your views, but how does it hurt you this bad?
