MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell expressed rage Wednesday over a recently adopted flag in Minnesota that he believes is a secret plot to implement Islamic law in the state. He called the flag "an atrocity."
"What they've done with this flag is absolutely outrageous," Lindell told right-wing podcast host Steve Bannon.
Opponents of the flag believe that its eight-pointed North Star secretly represents Islam.
"Is the population up there enraged?" Bannon asked. "You've got an Islamist flag flying across, above your state capitol. What in the hell's going on?"
"It's an atrocity! Everybody's going, what is this?" Lindell replied. "Is this a takeover? This is like a Trojan horse here in Minnesota, Steve. When they started pouring in, they don't love our country."

"They hate our country," Bannon interrupted. "They hate the Judeo-Christian West. They're, they're Sharia supremacists."
For his part, Lindell lamented that he could not leave Minnesota because his company was based there.
"We're sitting here, and it's all, all different races, but you know, like you just heard there, we're 80% Christian in Minnesota. One percent of these Islamics comes in here, and then they get to have this flag," the pillow executive opined. "It's like we're getting just attacked from every direction."
