Gun-control activist David Hogg said he plans to launch his own pillow company to compete with pro-Trump entrepreneur Mike Lindell’s popular MyPillow line.
Mike the “my pillow guy” is commenting on his soon too be progressive competition in the form of a progressive pillow company @williamlegate and I are starting.
This pillow fight just got very real @williamlegate https://t.co/jSNrUit1ZB

Hogg became one of the most prominent public faces among the survivors of the 2018 shooting at Parkland, Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
He later leveraged the tragedy in a series of self-promotional ventures, including a stint as a far-left television pundit that helped gain the mediocre student a ticket to Harvard University.
Now he hopes to capitalize on the massacre, which left 17 fellow students and teachers dead, by helping other progressives to sleep better at night.
Hogg said that he and activist/tech CEO William LeGate will “run a better business and make a better product all with more happy staff than Mike the pillow guy while creating US based Union jobs and helping people.”
But as it turns out, it’s much more difficult to launch a leftist company that Hogg first thought.
In a follow-up tweet this week, Hogg asked if there was a “unionized pillow manufacturer” in the U.S. he could work with.
I NEED A UNIONIZED PILLOW MANUFACTURER IN THE US
We’re having a hard time finding one
If you know one PLEASE dm

Hogg and LeGate also suggested they would try to find ways to use their company to support Democratic candidates in future elections.

Hogg accused Lindell of supporting a “white supremacist overthrow of the U.S. government,” citing Lindell’s concerns about voter fraud in the 2020 election.
When asked about Hogg’s new company, Lindell responded: “Good for them … Nothing wrong with competition that does not infringe on someone’s patent.”
