    This could not be more Orwellian," Hawley wrote. "I was representing my constituents, leading a debate on the Senate floor on voter integrity, which they have now decided to rebrand as sedition."

    "Only approved speech can now be published," he added. "This is the Left looking to cancel everyone they don't approve of. I will fight this cancel culture with everything I have. We'll see you in court."

    Simon & Schuster's decision comes as former Missouri Republican Sen. John Danforth, commenting in the wake of the assault on the Capitol, described his recruitment of Hawley to run for the U.S. Senate in 2018 as "the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life."

    "I thought he was special. And I did my best to encourage people to support him," Danforth said Thursday.

    The senator who represented Missouri for nearly two decades until 1995 said if it had not been for Hawley's key role in objecting to the Electoral College votes, Wednesday's chaos "wouldn't have happened."

    "But for him the approval of the Electoral College votes would have been simply a formality," Danforth said. "He made it into something that it was a specific way to express the view that the election was stolen. He was responsible."

    Hawley's office did not immediately respond to Danforth's charges, but in a more general statement, the senator said he would "never apologize for giving voice to the millions of Missourians and Americans who have concerns

    I think they don't want to publish his book for business reasons.

    1. He's pretty much an American Nazi now who openly supports physical force to change election results.

    2. Most of his supporters don't . . . read books . . . so who's the intended market?

    more "incitement" charges because Hawley raised objection.
    He wanted a commission not a riot. Trump wanted them to fight for the cause not riot
    Yet the blame of "incitement is there without evidence to support thats what they said

    such drivel. and no it'sot for business -where did you get the idea the book would not be successful

    Obviously publisher houses and social media would object to the subject The Tyranny of Big Tech
    because it shows the fascists for what they are- but that wasnt it.
    Simon and Schuster are just more media fascist

    yes I know about the first amendment -but it's beyond ironic
    a book about big tech censorship gets censored.

    what exactly was Hawleys sin? and why do you support cancel culture? (not a Hawley fan)

    Do you know why Hawley raised the objection? it was to force a commission to look at electoral "irregularities"
    certainly a worthy goal.. so what is the basis for your condemnation?

    do you think publishing a book and paying the author is not about money? and about how their tarnished reputation for enriching a fucking traitor would hurt them down the road, even if they did not have a moral disgust at such a punk ass traitor bitch?

    yep..............

    I could be wrong, but I doubt he ran on the insurrectionist tix..

    Woe is me, hopefully he didn't already spend the money, he must be falling on hard times I bet..........
