MINNEAPOLIS (AP) MyPillow chief executive and prominent election denier Mike Lindell said Friday that Fox News has stopped running his companys commercials, disputing the networks assertion that it is simply because he hasnt paid his bills.

Lindell went public by tweeting that that Fox, which had been one of MyPillows biggest advertising outlets, had canceled him. He said in his tweet that he didnt know why but that he suspected that the network was trying to silence him. Fox denied that.

Losing Fox was just the latest in a series of financial and legal setbacks for Minnesota-based MyPillow and Lindell, who continues to propagate former President Donald Trumps lies that the 2020 election was stolen from him, in part by rigged voting machine systems. Several big-box retailers, including Walmart, have discontinued his products , and lawyers who were defending him against defamation lawsuits by voting machine companies quit.

As soon as their account is paid, we would be happy to accept their advertising, Fox spokeswoman Irena Briganti said.
