‘Wrong!’ Mike Lindell Blasts Lara Trump Remarks In CPAC Rant Against Early Voting

 

MyPillow CEO and election conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell at CPAC 2024 on Saturday took a direct shot at Lara Trump without saying her name, on the subject of early voting.

Donald Trump has endorsed his daughter-in-law Lara in her bid to be co-chair of the RNC. She spoke on Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference just outside D.C. on Thursday, during which she insisted that Republicans have to embrace early voting if Trump is to win in 2024.

Lindell, who unsuccessfully attempted a run for the RNC chair, took a direct shot at her for it.

During her speech Thursday, Trump said that Republicans have to “fight fire not with fire, but with dynamite” and adapt to the new realities of election process.

“The truth is, if we want to compete with the Democrats, we cannot wait until Election Day,” she said. “If we want to compete and win, we must embrace early voting. The days of waiting until Election Day to vote are over.”

Lindell was definitely directly referring to her comments in his own, when he brought up the RNC and decried those who would encourage early voting.

“By the way, anybody that tells you to vote early is wrong!” he insisted “You vote same day, I’m telling you, that gets harder for them to cheat.”

There was no question at whom that comment was directed.

MIKE LINDELL: The RNC. Yeah, they got a lot of problems. But one of the things that they did do — when I ran for RNC chair last year, what came out of that– This August, the RNC passed a resolution paper ballots, hand counting, same day voting, no early voting. And by the way, anybody that tells you to vote early is wrong. You vote same day. I’m telling you that gets harder for them to cheat.

LARA TRUMP: What happened in 2020 cannot and will not ever happen again. We must adapt. And we must fight fire, not with fire, but with dynamite. We must, and we will, build the strongest, most secure election operation that this party has ever seen. That’s how we have to do this, folks. But we got to adapt a little. As Republicans, I get it. We like to go vote on Election Day. It’s exciting to be a part of that day. It’s exciting to fill out the ballot for the future leader of our country. Heck, you even get a little sticker and then you can take a photo and post it on social media. I know it’s very fun. But the truth is, if we want to compete with the Democrats, we cannot wait until Election Day. If we want to compete and win, we must embrace early voting. The days of waiting until Election Day to vote are over. We have to encourage everyone who can legally vote to go do so as soon as they legally can. We need so many votes banked for Donald J. Trump that we’re not playing catch up on Election Day. You go vote and then you take your neighbor, your friend, your dentist. Heck, I don’t care someone you met on the street. As long as they’re voting the right way. Every single day up to and on November 5th, because this November, every single legal vote matters.
