WATCH: Mike Lindell Makes Hilarious Appearance On Jimmy Kimmel Live Inside A Claw Machine

Mike Lindell is a patriot, Christian, and staunch fighter for the MAGA agenda. Turns out, he’s a good sport, particularly if being one gives him the air time necessary to make a point about voting standards and security.

Such was apparent last night when Lindell appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to discuss the issues as he sees them to an audience far different from the one on the typical conservative cable circuit that he appears on. But, before he could speak about anything, he had to be a good sport. Hence this:

Lindell had hinted that the interview would be a wild one earlier in the day, tweeting “I am going on Jimmy Kimmel tonight! I know I will be attacked but we have to get rid of the voting machines and I am willing to be humiliated to help get the word out and save our country!”

Commenting on that tweet, many people cheered and encouraged Mike, saying things like:

“Thank you Mike! You will do great! Keep fighting!”

“Your courage has no bounds. Kimmel has no class whatsoever. There is a reason why Gutfeld has been decimating Colbert and Kimmel in the ratings. The Left does not get it.”

And indeed Kimmel did try to humiliate Mike, with Mike doing the interview from inside a claw machine. Kimmel, explaining why he had Mike do the interview from inside the claw machine, said that it was “To help him overcome his debilitating fear of machines, we have installed him inside a claw machine.”

Kimmel also made numerous quips about machines and Mike during the interview, saying things like:

“You know, one of the differences between you and the claw machine is claw machines let go. And you will not let go of this voting thing, will you?” 

“Mike, I know that you’re distrustful of machines. Now that you’re inside one, do you feel differently?”

Kimmel also joked, during his opening monologue, that Lindell was there “to finally answer the question: ‘What if Ted Lasso was on the F.B.I. watch list?’”

Kimmel later gave more details on the claw machine aspect of the interview, saying “I do want to make something clear. I did not insist that Mike be in a claw machine because he’s not vaccinated; I insisted he be in a claw machine because it’s hilarious. This isn’t a political statement — this is just for fun.”

Mike, for his part, played along and made some jokes too, saying, for example, “Maybe I’ll find out that that claw game was rigged, huh, the one that picks up the stuffed animals.”

In any case, Lindell was able to air some of his complaints with the way the 2020 election was conducted on Kimmel’s program. So, even if Kimmel did his best to make Lindell look ridiculous, perhaps a few people were exposed to a fresh version of the arguments against voting machines and will look into the issue rather than blindly trusting government officials.
