The Republican Governors Association (RGA) held their spring meeting yesterday night in Nashville, Tennessee to kick off their three-day conference. MYPillow CEO Mike Lindell was allegedly kicked out of the event after receiving credentials for the event at the JW Marriott Hotel.

Lindell said he flew to Nashville on Monday, and within minutes of receiving his credentials, an event coordinator approached him and informed Lindell that he was not welcome at any RGA events.
An anonymous RGA member claimed that Lindell was not a member of RGA and he was denied attendance after attempting to join RGA transportation leading to a members-only dinner at Tennessee’s Governor’s mansion. This anonymous member said, “These events are for RGA members, and Mike Lindell is not currently an RGA member.”
Lindell denies any claim that he was not invited to the event. Lindell shared documents outlying the schedule of the entire RGA conference and is said to have been invited to the event within the last two months. The schedule of events had the word “confidential” capitalized at the bottom. Lindell also had an “executive roundtable” badge presumably meant to be used at the “executive roundtable reception and dinner” on Tuesday night.
Lindell has attended RGA meetings in the past. As recent as last Winter, Lindell was in attendance and claimed to have been encouraged to run for Governor of Minnesota by multiple governors in the RGA: “They all did. Everybody encouraged me [to run].”

Lindell is a strong, polarizing supporter and ally of President Trump, especially during the midst of the election mayhem. Dominion Voting Systems sued Lindell for $1.3 billion in a defamation suit under the accusation that he repeatedly and falsely told his followers that Dominion’s voting machines “stole” the election in Biden’s favor. Lindell has counter sued Dominion for 1.6 billion for “suppression of speech and attacks on the company”.
Lindell being booted from this RGA event is a clear sign that powerful Republicans and Conservatives in the political sphere are pushing to blacklist Lindell from their circles. In February, at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Lindell’s microphone was cut off in the middle of a live interview with Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN).

Lindell was in the middle of a rant about Covid-19 vaccinations, masks and also hinted that Israel interfered in the election. RSBN cut off his mic, allegedly, to prevent being censored on Youtube on account of his potentially inflammatory comments.
