The conservative activist and businessman detailed that the decision will cost the company millions of dollars in annual sales.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s devastating, this is $10 million a year, minimum,\u201d Lindell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/realMikeLindell\/videos\/757832478553692\/?__cft__[0]=AZVg2xCD97_9k7v7mzFRMKRPMaUds9cpbTHGc4BP7CLmbXg0WyDIkTaEhyL6pEeFGuYaCpzeCd7Z2k1Wb3a8qd97BaYq9NMRe63Zlk4rOOe4HIRCJ151r2Qf_gMxXKSDh7DS_lM6BtbD6Fcg-JeRw62dGXMLTWeRQ5CotSG0PoGTa8aM-Tq0Pa7ugQ3TDk83JJg&#038;__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou hurt my employees, I have to find other work for them, I care about my employees \u2026 we\u2019re like a big family. I am so upset with Walmart for what they did, it\u2019s a disgrace,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In a phone conversation, the executive vice president of Walmart said to Lindell that the reason behind the product\u2019s removal is due to ratings being under four stars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, we\u2019ve got to be honest,\u201d the retailer\u2019s vice president said, <a href=\"https:\/\/100percentfedup.com\/breaking-walmart-cancels-mike-lindells-mypillow-productsheres-how-you-can-help-show-your-support-for-mike-lindell-and-save-money\/\">according to 100 Percent Fed Up<\/a>. \u201cWe have a rating system and MyPillow is under 4 [stars] and we don\u2019t accept products under 4 [stars].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lindell said Walmart\u2019s decision is \u201cshameful,\u201d explaining they have thousands of vendors from China and are pulling down U.S.-made products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI make all my pillows in Minnesota,\u201d the businessman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/mike-lindell-says-walmart-is-canceling-him-pulling-his-products-2022-6?international=true&#038;r=US&#038;IR=T\">told Insider<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cWhat they did is inexcusable! It\u2019s cancel culture,\u201d he said, adding that he\u2019ll never accept Walmart again to sell his products.<\/p>\n<p>Lindell also stated that the sales of MyPillow products have never been on a downward trend and are \u201cgold for all the box stores.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMyPillow [products] never went down because we\u2019ve sold 76 million\u00a0MyPillows, all made right here in my home state of Minnesota,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Walmart has become the latest to join the list of big-box retailers to pull MyPillow products from their stores. In 2021, Bed Bath &#038; Beyond also stopped selling the brand, also claiming the product was not selling enough. Other big-box stores that pulled down the product include Costco, Kohl\u2019s, H-E-B, and Wayfair.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the listed companies pulled the products from their stores in the days and weeks after the\u00a0Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol last year.<\/p>\n<p>Lindell has always shown support for\u00a0former President Donald Trump and was advocating for election integrity amid allegations of widespread voting irregularities and election fraud following the November 2020 general election.<\/p>\n<p>The businessman has repeatedly questioned the results of the election on social media. In January 2021, he was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/twitter-suspends-account-of-mike-lindell-ceo-of-mypillow_3671721.html\">temporarily banned<\/a> from Twitter for repeatedly violating the company\u2019s civic integrity policy.
