MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell announced that he rejoined Twitter Sunday after his account was banned last year, but he was quickly reported and banned from the platform.

“Hello, everyone at Twitter. This is Mike Lindell,” Lindell said in a Twitter video published on Sunday. “I’m here to tell you about my new account here, @MikeJLindell. That’s the only account over here at Twitter that I’m using.”

He added: “So we started this account … Please share it with everybody you know. Let everybody you know so we can get the word out over here at Twitter in case they do take it down.”

A Twitter spokesperson told news outlets Sunday that the account was banned. The Epoch Times has contacted the firm for comment.

“The account you referenced was permanently suspended for violating the Twitter Rules on ban evasion,” a Twitter spokesperson told the Daily Beast website. Lindell also confirmed to the left-wing publication that his recently created account was suspended, calling it “a shame,” adding that former Twitter CEO “Jack Dorsey should be first in line for prison!”

Screenshots of the new account showed that Lindell had amassed more than 30,000 followers in a few hours after it was created Sunday.

The MyPillow CEO added to Business Insider that he decided to create a new account because there were numerous fake accounts pretending to be him.
