Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow, claims he was violently poked by someone seeking for a selfie in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, this week, prompting him to claim he was attacked.

According to the Sioux Falls Argus Leader, Lindell informed guests at an election fraud conference he’s hosting in the city that he was attacked at his hotel. Lindell stated that he was in agony and that he wanted everyone to be aware of the evil that exists in the world. He didn’t go into great detail about what happened.

Lindell said he was “attacked” when he arrived at his hotel in a video shared on Twitter, but he declined to offer any details.

“He put his arm around and stuck his finger, it was so much pressure, I just knew if I did anything something more was coming,” Lindell said, gesturing to his side. “He jammed it in where it was just piercing pain.”

In a phone conversation with The Associated Press, police spokesman Sam Clemens said authorities received a report of an assault in a hotel near the conference on Thursday morning. He said the attack happened at 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday. According to Clemens, no one was transported to the hospital.

According to a Twitter user who described himself as a Republican and a former federal prosecutor, Lindell subsequently claimed Antifa or left-wing demonstrators were involved, but didn’t clarify.

Lindell announced the conference in July, claiming he believed hundreds of “cyber-forensics experts” would come to back up his assertions that voting machines were hacked to switch votes in 2020 from former President Donald Trump to Vice President Joe Biden.

Clemens did not reveal the names of any of the victims, citing a statute intended to safeguard crime victims. Clemens said Thursday that the investigation is still underway and that no arrests have been made.

Almost all legal challenges to the election’s outcome have been rejected or abandoned, and numerous accusations of fraud have been refuted. There is no indication of massive fraud, according to state and federal election officials.

The Washington Times reports that Lindell’s top cyber specialist confessed Wednesday that they couldn’t establish China hacked the election.

Last month, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem proposed Lindell conduct the event in her state.

When she learned Lindell was seeking for a location for the symposium, she suggested to him, “Why don’t you do that in South Dakota? We would love to host guests.’”
