MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is holding an in-person rally in South Dakota on Monday to promote “Frank,” the website he billed as a social-media site but is so far a one-way platform where Lindell circulates baseless allegations of voter fraud.
The event, titled “Frank Rally,” will take place at the Corn Palace in the town of Mitchell.
Lindell first announced the event on former Donald Trump advisor Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast.
He said that the event would be free and on a first-come, first-served basis, Inforum reported.
Lindell’s rally is sandwiched between a Dakota Wesleyan University graduation ceremony and an event by the American Corn Hole Association.
Lindell told Bannon that he chose South Dakota partly because of its Republican governor Kristi Noem, who refused to introduce statewide mask mandates and lockdowns during the pandemic.
South Dakota Republican Rep. Dusty Johnson told Forum News Service that he didn’t “agree with many of [Lindell’s] debunked claims” about the 2020 election, but that “cancel culture is just as dangerous.”
“We shouldn’t stop him from coming to South Dakota just because his views are different than mine or yours,” he added.
