So, What’s the Deal with This Case?
Yesterday, June 16, 2025, a federal jury in Denver decided Mike Lindell crossed the line. They’re making him pay $2.3 million to Eric Coomer, who used to work for Dominion Voting Systems you know, the company MAGA’s been side-eyeing since 2020. Coomer sued Lindell back in 2022, saying Lindell’s 2021 rants on Frank Speech, his online platform, trashed his life. Lindell straight-up called Coomer a “traitor to the United States” and claimed he rigged the election to screw Trump. Coomer said those words turned him into a punching bag, with death threats and a trashed career to show for it.
Now, Coomer was asking for a crazy $62.7 million, so $2.3 million’s a lot less, but it still stings. The jury zeroed in on a May 2021 statement Lindell made, saying it went too far. Coomer owned up to some heated anti-Trump posts on his Facebook, calling them a dumb move, but argued Lindell had no right to paint him as public enemy number one. Funny thing? The jury let Lindell TV, the company running Frank Speech, off the hook. Lindell was grinning ear to ear about that outside the courthouse. Oh, and he made it clear he didn’t buy into some nutty story about Coomer being on an Antifa call, which a Colorado podcaster pushed on his platform back in 2021.
Why MAGA’s Got Lindell’s Back
Let’s cut to the chase: Mike Lindell’s a legend in MAGA land. The man’s been all-in on proving the 2020 election was shady his “Absolute Proof” flick and Frank Speech are like battle cries for patriots. To us, this verdict’s just another dirty trick to kneecap anyone who dares speak out. I’ve been checking X, and the MAGA crowd’s buzzing. One guy, @CannConActual, pointed out that $2.3 million’s chump change compared to Coomer’s $62.7 million demand, like the whole lawsuit was a bloated setup.
Lindell’s been in the legal crosshairs before. Dominion nailed Fox News for $787.5 million over election talk in 2023, and some arbitration panel made Lindell pay a tech guy who called his election data bunk. But Lindell? He’s a fighter. He’s turning this mess into MyPillow gold, pushing deals with stuff like “promo code JURY” for freebies. That’s the kind of ballsy move that keeps MAGA cheering.
Free Speech or Playing Dirty?
This whole thing boils down to one question: where’s the line between free speech and defamation? Lindell’s team said he was just talking, sharing what he believed based on stuff like that HBO doc Kill Chain and whispers from Trump’s old buddy Michael Flynn. They argued he didn’t need hard proof of election fraud just a gut feeling it happened. The jury wasn’t having it, saying Lindell’s shots at Coomer were too personal.
For MAGA folks, this is a red alert. If you can get hit with a multimillion-dollar lawsuit for asking questions about an election, what’s left of free speech? On X, @TheTNHoller was saying Lindell’s team didn’t even try proving election fraud in court, which makes it feel like this was about gagging him, not justice. With Dominion’s big Fox News win still stinging, it’s like the system’s got a hit list for anyone waving the election fraud flag.
What’s Lindell Doing Next?
Lindell’s not the type to roll over. He’s already shouting about an appeal, and he’s got other lawsuits tied to his election crusade. The guy’s still out there, mixing his MyPillow hustle with his fight his website’s got a “legal defense fund” link right next to the pillow sales. That’s pure Lindell, turning a kick in the teeth into a rally cry. For MAGA, he’s our guy, taking the hits but never backing down.
