Fast food chain, Hardee’s had no problem raking MyPillow CEO, Mike Lindell over the coals to bring their ‘pillowy’ biscuits some free advertising.
The pillow salesman, rabid Trump supporter and election denier took to his online talk show, The Lindell Report to go over the event that left him reeling.
The CEO says that while at a Hardee’s, he was stopped by FBI investigators in Mankato, Minnesota.
When Lindell thought he was getting delicious, hot Hardee’s (he would have if it wasn’t for the untimely proceedings of the FBI) – he ended up being presented with a search warrant.
He recalled being surrounded by “all different models of cars” after he had just placed an order and was about to pull around to the window when intercepted by a team of FBI investigators.
The FBI was there not only for the Hardees but also to confiscate Lindell’s phone and question him on a Colorado election clerk and an alleged voting machine breach.

“I said, ‘If I don’t give it to ya, will you arrest me then?’ … I’m going, ‘Are you kidding me? You’re not getting my phone.”
Well, they surely seized his phone and Lindell was left holding the bag. And not a Hardees bag.
Hardees reveled in the spectacle and high-tailed it to Twitter to capitalize off the misfortune of the MyPillow CEO, tweeting…
“Now that you know we exist…you should really try our pillowy biscuits“.
Everything came together for the fast food franchise, (otherwise known as Carl’s Jr. in the western part of the country) and Twitter was aroar with the sound of delighted tweets.
Vikki Migoya, spokeswoman for the Denver FBI branch said, “I can confirm that the FBI was at that location executing a search warrant authorized by a federal judge.”
Though he was not arrested, the side-lining of Lindell’s lunch and subsequent dig by Hardees must have been enough to wrankle his pillows.
