MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's latest political rally featured a speech by former President Donald Trump, in which he railed against voter fraud again.
Trump delivered his comments via satellite at the Saturday event. He repeated unfounded claims about fraud during the 2020 election and took aim at President Joe Biden's efforts to reverse his policies.
Trump seemed to respond directly to the Biden administration's announcement on Friday that it would pull more than $2 billion in funding Trump had diverted to pay for a wall along the southern border.
"All Biden had to do - all he had to do was leave it alone," Trump said. "So we went from the most successful, the safest border in the history of our country - think of that - to the worst and most dangerous border."

After Trump spoke to the crowd in New Richmond, Wisconsin, droves of attendees could be seen walking out of the event. A series of videos posted on Twitter on Saturday showed attendees leaving as the pillow pitchman spoke.

In a wide-ranging speech, Lindell slipped back and forth between his support for the former president and unfounded claims that the 2020 election had been rigged.
"Did you hear about the [voting] machines that were attacked by China? Did you hear about it?" he said.
He said Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp shouldn't have certified the voting results in their states.
He took aim at Fox News and Newsmax, calling them "cowards," saying that it was "disgusting what they've done to our country," as Newsweek first reported.
Newsmax anchor Bob Sellers in February had stopped Lindell from repeating claims about voting machines being tampered with during the election.
"Mike, you're talking about machines, that we at Newsmax have not been able to verify any of those kinds of allegations," Sellers said on air.
"We're fighting for our First Amendment rights of free speech," Lindell said on Saturday.
Insider reached out to Fox News and Newsmax for comment.
Lindell had previously held a half-empty rally at the Corn Palace in South Dakota.
