MyPillow guy Mike Lindell likely has no chance of becoming Minnesota's next governor, but on Wednesday morning, he received the endorsement of President Donald Trump.
President Trump this morning endorsed Mike Lindell in the GOP Primary for Minnesota Governor.

Not all conservatives are thrilled. Here was Bonchie of Twitchy sister site RedState back in December:
With what’s going on in Minnesota, it is imperative that Republicans not screw around with the My Pillow nut job as their gubernatorial nominee.

Nominate someone who can actually win. Ignore endorsements if you must. Don’t throw this opportunity away.
Headquarters, which rebranded from KamalaHQ and is run by veterans of Kamala Harris' 2024 campaign team, took the opportunity of the endorsement to point out a Nazi dog whistle in Lindell's business.
Trump has just endorsed MyPillow guy Mike Lindell for governor of Minnesota.

Lindell prices his pillows at $14.88, a common Nazi dogwhistle. pic.twitter.com/ppVj5QBL11
So a Totenkopf tattoo on your chest is a mistake you made while you were drunk during a "dark time" in your life, but $14.88 pillows are a Nazi dog whistle? The 14 alleged refers to the "fourteen words" ("We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children"), and H is the eighth letter of the alphabet, so 88 stands for HH, which of course stands for Heil Hitler.

We don't think Democrats have a lot of room right now to criticize candidates for being Nazis.
A Totenkopf is more than a dogwhistle yet you were all on in Herr Platner

I see you know your nazi stuff. Interesting. Oh but Platner having an actual Totenkopf tattoo didn't seem to worry you. Lol and you call yourself a news outlet. The Nazis are coming from within your own house.

Yeah, but you actually supported a Nazi rapist in Maine. Big difference don’t you think?

Are you seriously doing this after the Totenkopf? Lindell sucks but so do you.

If he didn't want to be accused of doing something that could be construed as a Nazi dogwhistle he should have just got a Nazi tattoo on his chest
— Daryl Robinson (@DarylRobinson23) July 15, 2026
Oh. So when did the platform shift from "Nazis OK" to "Nazis bad?" Is it based solely on who you think can win an election?

It’s also a common price to be under $15 and not have “ninety-nine” cents, which is seen as a cheap trick. A lot of retailers end their prices in 88¢ for this reason (see Walmart).
— Fred the Great (@Fred_On_X) July 15, 2026
But at this point, if he made the price $14.87 you’d say it was a political trick.

You guys know those people that are specifically trained to help people who have trouble mentally? I think they're called therapists? You should see one several times

Platner loved those pillows.

As many people are saying in the replies, if you can hear the dog whistle, that means you're the dog. We don't want to hear any "Nazi" crap from the party that voted for Graham Platner in the Democratic primary and supported him until Politico published sexual assault allegations.
