Admire, don't knock, Mike Lindell's success

February 04, 2021 11:00 pm • Last Updated: February 05, 2021 4:10 pm

If the political cartoon Jan. 26 was supposed to be funny, it missed the mark. Making fun of Mike Lindell, the “My Pillow” guy, because he is a Trump supporter, was petty and undeserving. Rather than degrade him as a “nut job,” he should be looked up to and admired for turning his life around from a drug addict to a highly successful businessman. I am sure this is no easy task, and he should be applauded rather than smeared. One’s political views should not negate talent, ambition, hard work and success.
