MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is staffing his broadcast platform Frank Speech, and his latest hire is a former Newsmax personality who was taken off-air for misrepresenting facts.
Emerald Robinson, a former White House correspondent for Newsmax, will be starting work with Frank Speech on January 20. Frank Speech is where Lindell broadcasts his daily shows and where he hosted his 96-hour "Thanks-a-Thon" live stream.
She is producing her own show for Frank Speech. She is coming to Frank Speech.
Fox News is ruining our country. Their hosts are told what to not report. Frank Speech is freedom of speech. Lindell said something.
Robinson was taken off-air by the conservative news channel after she wrote a bizarre message about the COVID-19 vaccine. Read the last book of the New Testament to see how this ends.
Robinson is a far-right fringe conspiracy theorist who claims that COVID-19 vaccines contain satanic trackers. The name "luciferase" has been used by anti-vaxxers to spread fear. According to the Encyclopedia of Genetics, the light-emitting enzyme illumined in fireflies is called illumined. The FDA-authorized Covid jabs do not include the enzyme used in medical research.
Newsmax distanced itself from Robinson in November, saying that false claims have never been reported on the news station. Robinson was taken off-air by the station because it was reviewing her social media posts.
Robinson will join other people on the online channel, including Diamond and Silk, who were fired from Fox News, and Brannon Howse, founder of the conservative production company Worldview Weekend.
Robinson did not respond to the request for comment.
Frank Speech might be having trouble with its programming. The select committee investigating the Capitol riot subpoenaed his phone records, and now two banks are dropping him. He told Insider that he has millions of dollars in the banks and that the bank wants him to close his Frank Speech account.
In January, he told Insider that he is not opposed to borrowing money to keep the platform alive if he runs out of cash. The pillow executive said in December that he has already spent $25 million pushing Trump's baseless election fraud claims and will "sell everything" for the cause.
