DETROIT, MICHIGAN: Mike Lindell has been called out online after he reportedly shared his plan of deputizing conservatives during the election to ensure Donald Trump’s win.

During the Turning Point USA People's Convention in Detroit on Sunday, June 16, the CEO of My Pillow asserted, as reported by Raw Story, “I believe it's part of God's plan.”

“They're not going to know if you're going to vote early or...you're going to vote on Election Day. Everybody needs to reach out and get, get your early vote, get your ballot,” he stated.

Lindell further mentioned, “On Election Day...you will take this ballot and you will go to vote. And if they say, 'Well, you've already voted'...then we have a plan where you're going to go outside, then you're going to open that up.”

“So we're going to have you all be deputized to save our country. We all need you to deputize all of you if they steal it again like this, I, the people will demand these machines that we paid for out of our tax dollars,” he added.

The 62-year-old conspiracy theorist faced online backlash after a commenter on YouTube remarked, "The grift that keeps on grifting."

The second person wrote, “Mike continuing to give people reasons not to vote Republican.”

“Thought he was back in rehab,” an X user remarked.

Another user said, “Mike Lindell snorted coke until he started believing in God.”



 

A user added, “This guy has learned if you keep throwing out the religious phrases, simple-minded MAGA Christians start believing that you're sincere.”



 

“Mike Lindell doesn't have the authority to deputize the fish sticks in his freezer,” an individual jokingly noted.



 

Another individual spilled, “Lindell fried his brain on cocaine so much that the dealers stopped selling to him. Like many recovering addicts they trade one addiction for another. Often the new addiction is Jesus and extremist Christian thinking.”



 

“Yet another MAGAt, lost in a world of delusions. Thanks to Reagan, he can't be compelled to seek psychiatric help--unless he wants to,” read a tweet.



 



 

“#MikeLindell gave all to #DonaldTrump turns out he's a #nutcase #screwball with the fantasy of turning magas into police officers with complete autonomy to do what they want,” said another tweet.
