Simon & Schuster recently announced that they were canceling the publication of Sen. Josh Hawley’s book, “The Tyranny of Big Tech,” over Hawley’s support for overturning the presidential election results. Hawley maintained that position in the wake of the Capitol riots on January 6.
Simon & Schuster said that it would cancel the publication of an upcoming book by Senator Josh Hawley, one of several members of Congress who tried to overturn the results of the presidential election.https://t.co/SbUkuawEjW

Hawley was decidedly not pleased:

But it seems his book has found another, more welcoming home:

And now it’s other people’s turn to be displeased:
Will it be available in prison libraries so all his followers can read it?

Can you guys send me a free copy? I'd like to shred it for my cat's litter box. Thanks!

Got a book idea about how great the Holocaust was that I’m sure @Regnery would love to publish.

That is an incredibly bad move.
— FakeDeshawn Shultz (@FakeDeshawnShul) January 18, 2021
Very bad decision which will be regretted.
— Katie Salisbury (@KatieSalisbur11) January 18, 2021
We can only assume she means that Regnery will regret the decision. Because now liberals are going to … add Regnery to their blacklist, too?

That's one book I will NEVER buy. And a publisher I will never purchase from again.

I will NEVER buy another book associated with your company again!
NEVER!
— James (@JMurray79030048) January 18, 2021
Well, there's one more publisher I won't be doing any business with in the future. Good job, Regnery. Support traitors, lose customers.
— "Mask Up" (@Speech_Queen67) January 18, 2021
So I guess I've bought my last Regnery book – if every I did. Not sure, and not worth looking up. Never will, going forward, that's for sure.
— Dr. Beth Walker (@bwalker123) January 18, 2021
Maybe if you had looked it up, you’d see that Regnery is a Republican publisher. Threats to stop reading their books don’t really mean much if you steered clear of their books to begin with.
Anyway, while these threats from liberals to boycott Regnery may not carry much weight in this particular case, they may still be indicative of some troubling signs:
Before people go w “see, this is how the market works, another publisher picked it up,” a couple thoughts.
1)Regnery is a conservative publishing house, which is great, but do we want to live in a society in which publishing houses- & every other service – are split into R and D? https://t.co/mooP9BVZYE— Inez Stepman ⚪️?⚪️ (@InezFeltscher) January 18, 2021
Different books, coffee shops, social media platforms…sounds like a recipe for polarization amplification. Aren’t we at each other’s throats enough right now?
2) How long before conservative publishing houses are threatened by their banks & other vendors for publishing “hate”?
