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.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."
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

Just my opinion as I'm admittedly not a Hawley fan, he's no victim here and this goes far beyond cancer culture. He brought this upon himself. And he went to Stanford and Yale Law School, he knows that the first amendment is about government censorship of speech not a private publishing company no longer wanting to publish his book.
At Thanksgiving I was speaking with a guy whose father writes for the Hoover Institute. His Dad said Hawley was the guy to watch in '24 (not that we all didn't know he had Presidential aspirations). He tied himself 100% to Trump and now it has blown up on him.

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
cool. just like some books and some acting gigs get canceled if the author rapes somebody, or the actor spews some racist shit. the Dixie Chicks got blacklisted by country-western radio and culture because they told the truth about how fucked up bush was concerning the lying invasion of Iraq and authorizing torture. did you cry then, butthurt loser?

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?
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
