So after years of bluster, incl yesterday on the courthouse steps, Lindell joins the long list of others (Giuliani, Lake, Fox News) who, when offered the chance to present evidence - in court - of their claims of alleged election fraud, conceded and ran away.
NEW: Attorneys for MyPillow Guy Mike Lindell said in opening statements at his defamation trial in Denver that they won’t present evidence of his claim that the 2020 election was rigged. “It’s just words. All Mike Lindell did was talk,” said Lindell’s attorney. #copolitics

In reality, our complex elections are more verifiable and secure than ever, thanks to the hundreds of thousands of public servants, of both parties, that run them. Rather than listen to this nonsense, go thank an election official for facilitating our voices in our democracy.
Trump: "I just think that the law firms have to behave themselves. And we've proven that. We have others that want to make a settlement also. Having to do with the elections and other things, they've behaved very badly ... our elections are very dishonest. Very corrupt."
