What ever happened to that MYPILLOW guy's promise to make masks??





The day after the press conference/infomercial for MyPillow, Lindell announced that his company would begin making medical masks. Unfortunately, Mr. Pillow could only produce cloth masks, and so he needed to contract out, and his promises of 50,000 masks by the end of the week came to a halt. But never you fear, Politico is reporting that the Department of Veterans Affairs is ponying up $75,000 to help Lindell along. And the delay? Well, “the order has not been filled yet because the company has yet to find a subcontractor to actually make the masks, since the VA wants KN95 and disposable masks and MyPillow only makes cloth masks.”

So, let’s be clear: instead of the government paying a company that can and does produce the required masks, they are going to pay a guy who cannot produce the masks and will now act as a go-between to contract a company that will produce the masks. No matter how you cut that, this is inefficient, wasteful, and so silly it’s hard to not shake with anger while typing.

Perfect fit for the Treasury (there's money there, right?). Treasury website says they need contract specialists.

in the US to the White House! This scum is now on TV, shopping network SHOP HQ hawking his pillows and mattress covers. Minnesota you should be ashamed to even have this scum in your state let alone him selling his shit pillows and telling everyone how Jesus saved him from crack.

Will we ever be rid of these fucking Trump Charlatans?
