Thanks to conspiracy-obsessed MyPillow salesman Mike Lindell, there’s now another rung on the ladder for reporters who already have OANN and Newsmax on their resume.
Emerald Robinson — whose contract with the latter outlet was allowed to expire last month following outlandish comments about COVID vaccines — showed up on LindellTV this week alongside the online outlet’s proprietor. LindellTV is an online outlet founded by Lindell.
Despite having been off the air since November, she hadn’t lost a step.
The pair did their broadcast from outside the Georgia State Capitol Monday, where they breathlessly continued to push conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election. Both MAGA loyalists still appear to believe that contest was won by Donald Trump despite proof that was not the case.
“About to pull up here are three SUVs full of thousands of affidavits from not just citizens in Georgia, but across the country related to election fraud and election crimes,” Robinson reported as Lindell dashes away because someone, he claimed, was trying to stop his trucks from getting to their destination.
Robinson and Lindell were speaking by video to former Trump strategist Steve Bannon.
According to Robinson, “20 boxes” of evidence to support her and Lindell’s claim the election was rigged were in the SUVs that were cheered on by a small crowd when they came to a halt. At one point, a soccer ball rolled into the street and wound up under one of the vehicles.
Robinson, faulting “corporate media” in her Monday broadcast, was taken off the air at Newsmax following a tweet that was even bizarre by the far right-wing media standards.
“Dear Christians: the vaccines contain a bioluminiscent marker called LUCIFERASE so that you can be tracked,” Robinson tweeted, directing the faithful to the Book of Revelations.
Newsmax noted at the time that Robinson issued that warning on Twitter and not on its airwaves. Before becoming Newsmax’s White House correspondent in January 2020, she had worked for OANN. Both companies are involved in billion-dollar lawsuits with a pair of voting technology companies that allege the fringe networks falsely accused their organizations of impropriety.
Lindell, who is also being sued by those companies, told the Daily Beast last month that he would be working with Robinson. He thanked Newsmax for letting Robinson go on Instagram, where he welcomed his new reporter to the team Monday.
