Liberal pundits and mainstream media outlets are up in arms over the appearance of Mike Lindell at Monday’s White House press briefing after the “My Pillow” founder offered a prayer and encouraged Americans to read the Bible while spending time with their families.

“God gave us grace on November 8, 2016, to change the course we were on,” said Lindell. “God had been taken out of our schools and lives, a nation had turned its back on God. I encourage you to use this time at home to get back in the Word. Read our Bible and spend time with our families.”

The comments drew immediate condemnation as reported by Fox News:

“Trump just called the ‘My Pillow’ guy up to the podium in the Rose Garden. You cannot make this stuff up,” MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi reacted.

“Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski tweeted, “Is that the my pillow guy?? Do I need to turn the volume up. I was waiting for the doctors.”

“The ‘My Pillow Guy’ was at the Corona Virus briefing today? Boy oh boy, do we need SNL this Saturday. If this had been a SNL skit we would have thought it was fake, right? You can’t make this s— up. Who is going to play the ‘my pillow guy’?” Miami Herold reporter Julie K. Brown asked.

“Trump now has the guy from My Pillow doing a campaign commercial for Trump’s 2020 campaign in the middle of a press conference about a deadly virus. How can any real news network air this BS?! #StopAiringTrump” Daily Beast and CNN opinion columnist Dean Obeidallah wrote.

“Look, it’s hard to fill up 90 minutes worth of material every single day, so you need to get some sponsored material/infomercials,” New York Magazine writer Jonathan Chait joked.

The harsh comments directed at Lindell were particularly vile in light of the “My Pillow” founder’s recent decision to convert all his factories to produce up to 50,000 N95 face masks per day.

WIBC host Tony Katz posed the following question to Lindell’s critics Monday morning:

“How many face masks did YOU make today?”
