Mike Lindell has hit back against the claims that his new MyPillow price is inadvertently linked to neo-Nazi propaganda.

Lindell spoke to the New York Post following Newsweek's report on Lindell's MyPillow advertisement that prices his Standard Classic Pillow at a number that is affiliated with neo-Nazi slogans.

Lindell told The Post that the 88 cents price point is a common price used by companies such as Walmart.
