Former Newsmax White House reporter Emerald Robinson, who was dropped by the network after claiming Covid vaccines contain a satanic tracker, has a new gig working for MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.

Lindell announced on this Instagram that Robinson has joined his online streaming network Lindell TV.

“LindellTV welcomes Emerald Robinson ( thank you Newsmax!!)! Emerald will have her own show,” he wrote.

Robinson made headlines for clashing with Biden press secretary Jen Psaki during her time as one of Newsmax’s reporters in the White House briefing room. That is, until late last year, when she claimed Covid vaccines contain satanic trackers.

“Dear Christians: the vaccines contain a bioluminescent marker called LUCIFERASE so that you can be tracked,” Robinson wrote.

“Read the last book of the New Testament to see how this ends,” she added.

Robinson was was banned from Twitter and benched from Newsmax over the tweet. Shortly after, Newsmax announced it would not be renewing her contract.

“Emerald is still with Newsmax, however her contract ends in January and we will not be renewing it,” the network said in a statement. “We appreciate the work she has done on-air for the network.”

Lindell’s network is a natural fit for Robinson. The businessman has, since the 2020 election, emerged as a relentless promoter of the conspiracy theory that the contest was stolen from former President Donald Trump.

His claims about the election were enough to draw a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems. Newsmax was also sued by Dominion and another voting systems company, Smartmatic, but unlike Lindell the network has been cowed by the prospect of financial ruin via defamation suit.

Last year, a Newsmax host walked off the air in the middle of an interview with Lindell because he wouldn’t stop pushing conspiracy theories about the election.
