The Media Action Network has launched a boycott of Bed, Bath & Beyond’s in response to their decision to drop MyPillow products because of owner Mike Lindell’s allegations of voter fraud and his support of former President Donald Trump.
Yesterday we held a rally in support of @MyPillowUSA and against the cancel culture of @BedBathBeyond Hope it’s the first of many. Code FB201 gets up to 80% off on the #mypillow site. Support products manufactured in the USA. Instead of big corporate hypocrisy. @RealAmVoice pic.twitter.com/FBCaImXE0c

In what the conservative activists called "the pillow fight," shoppers in Larkspur, California on Tuesday walked away from their shopping carts at checkout counters but left a $20 tip for clerks who tallied the merchandise from abandoned carts. Shoppers also left notes criticizing Bed Bath & Beyond for taking part in "cancel culture," and asking the retailer to re-stock MyPillow products.

Media Action Network said in a statement:
"The Media Action Network has launched a Basket Boycott and petition against Bed Bath & Beyond after it announced it was pulling MyPillows due to CEO Mike Lindell’s politics. We’re encouraging patriots to visit their local Bed Bath & Beyond, fill up a shopping cart, then abandon it with our statement about free speech. And never shop there again until CEO Mark Tritton reverses his decision."
The group has also started a petition which is at over 10,000 signatures.
Earlier Tuesday, Lindell had been permanently suspended from Twitter after the site claimed he was using his platform to spread election misinformation.
