U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, speaks at Mike Lindell's
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, speaks at Mike Lindell's "Moment of Truth Summit" in Springfield on Aug. 21, 2022.

A surprise guest was brought out on Sunday morning by the CEO of MyPillow and a leading election conspiracy theorist.

The Georgia Republican took the stage on the second day of the event, bringing attendees from across the U.S., most of them from outside Missouri. Both Democrats and fellow Republicans were lambasted by her.

"I've recently gotten tired of being told 'Marjorie, don't talk about the election' and that's why I came here," he said.

She told the crowd that they didn't have enough money to pay for it. Maybe you lost a job. You might have lost faith at times, but you kept fighting.

Lindell's message centers on grievances with media, spreading the word

The MyPillow CEO wasn't on stage all the time and often left hosting duties to his TV station.

He lambasted national newspapers like the New York Times as well as local outlets and TV stations when he was on stage. The Associated Press reported that MyPillow had been removed from stores due to his conspiracy, and a Washington Post photographer snapped a photo of him holding notes at the White House.

The first day of the event was covered by the News-Leader, Springfield Daily Citizen and The Daily Beast. He said the News-Leader reporter should come up to the stage and we could pray for him.

He encouraged attendees to share the event with family and friends.

The only way this weekend will work is if no one watches.

It's not clear how many people watched. FrankSpeech doesn't show viewer counts, as a stream on Rumble peaked at 1,500 viewers on Sunday.

There was a prominent presence from the company of Lindell. He gave a promo code to order MyPillows online at one point. Breakfast and samples of My Coffee were available.

Why Springfield? How many invited?

Repeated attempts to reach the organizers of the event were unsuccessful.

One staffer made an estimate of how many people would show up. A reporter counted about 400 people on Saturday.

The University Plaza Hotel & Convention Center, which was listed as the venue in initial registration information, was not allowed to give any information about the event.

The News-Leader has a reporter covering Missouri politics. He can be contacted via email at gbacharier@news-leader.com or on the social media platform of his choice.
