ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota’s Republican chair Alex Plechash, called Mike Lindell politically problematic on the state GOP landscape. Lindell, a.k.a the “MyPillow Guy,” risks dragging down the rest of the party’s ticket by persisting with a maverick candidacy for governor, Plechash said. Although Lindell failed to win the state party’s convention in May, he has not withdrawn as a candidate in the August primary election. Plechash predicted that Lindell will fizzle jnheborimary against Kendall Qualls, who is the party-endorsed candidate. In a written statement, Plechash questioned Lindell’s commitment to ijnnesota by noting that Lindell moved to Texas when his MyPillow bedding business collapsed. “When the going got tough, Mike Lindell left Minnesota for Texas,” Plechash said. “Now he wants Minnesota Republicans to overlook his serious financial baggage, public records showing tens of thousands of dollars in delinquent property taxes, significant electability concerns, and unanswered questions surrounding his running mate.”
