    Yes and that's what teabaggers (www.teaparty.org) do, they wanted to cancel the election, block the votes by over riding the will of the people, suppress the vote by eliminating ballot drop boxes, eliminating polling places and purging voters.

    Freedom of speech doesn't mean forcing publishers to to put your book out.

    Bullshit. You’re an anti-American, anti-Capitalist authoritarian asshole who wants to dictate what private companies can publish. Fuck you and your fascist, anti-American ideology.

    Dude, there’s 330,000,000 Americans vs. Hawley’s 20,000 book sales. Please post a link proving your claim that most Americans side with Hawley.

    Then Hawley should sue. OTOH, if he gets his ass handed to him in court and has to pay the publisher’s legal fees, ol’ Josh will just have to dip even deeper into his campaign funds to pay for it.

    Simon & Schuster has decided to withdraw from a contractual obligation because it disapproves of the Senator's actions. It's a private corporation; it knows that a contract entails a promise to perform or to pay damages. It apparently stands ready to do the latter. Of course, it may not be necessary for Simon & Schuster to pay damages, because Senator Hawley may be able to mitigate his damages by publishing with another publisher

    The Republican, who recently published "The Tyranny of Big Tech," has a publishing success on his hands, according to reports.

    On Publishers Weekly’s lasted list of hardcover nonfiction titles, Hawley’s takedown of Silicon Valley ranked No. 6, with more than 20,000 copies sold.

    The book also ranked No. 15 on Amazon’s "Top 20 Most Sold & Most Read Books of the Week."

    The results appear to be a turnaround from January, when publisher Simon & Schuster canceled plans to release Hawley’s book – a decision that Hawley described as "a direct assault on the First Amendment."



    The publisher said it opted against issuing Hawley’s book because of "his role in what became a dangerous threat" – a reference to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

    A widely distributed photograph of Hawley holding up a fist in the direction of the Capitol crowd had helped link him to the day of destruction in Washington, D.C.

    Conservative publisher Regnery Publishing took over rights to the book after Simon & Schuster pulled out.

    In the book, Hawley compares today’s tech titans to the robber barons of the past – and warns that Americans’ liberties are at stake if the business giants are allowed to continue gaining economic and political power.

    Probably for the same reason Trumpsters like to whine; they're weak and stupid.

    Notice all the whining about Hawley's former publisher.
