After initially refusing to sell Conservative talk show host Mark Levin’s book, Target has reversed course and will now sell the book, “The Democrat Party Hates America.”
Levin is considered the sixth most popular radio host in the United States with about 8.25 million listeners.
Mark Levin tweeted on Wednesday: “Target has informed my publisher, Simon & Schuster, that it will not carry my new book when it is released on September 19. It claims that certain customers might be offended by the title. Imagine that! So, the corporatist leftwing censorship begins. … However, I’d like to encourage you to go to [Amazon.com] and pre-order your discounted copies. Let’s send a big message and drive pre-order sales way up on Amazon’s list. Thank you!”
The following day, Levin tweeted, “Target just informed my publisher that it has reversed course and will be taking my new book in its stores upon its release.”
He thanked his followers for being an “immense force for free speech and market capitalism,” expressing that he “could not be more proud” of them.
A Target spokesman told Fox News Digital that they initially hesitated due to the “use of the word ‘hate’ in the title,” but they are “continuing to offer this book for pre-sale now, and it will be available for sale on its release date. We regret any confusion this situation caused.”
Reporting from World Net Daily:
In an interview Thursday with Fox News Digital, Levin said, "Corporations need to know that while they're free to do these things – and I won't be the last one to say that they're not – we, the people, are free to respond. And there's no need to even organize a boycott. The market system speaks for itself, which is one of the reasons the left and the Democrats hate it. They would've loved this book to be banned for its title. They would love this book to be censored by corporations for its title. They haven't even read it! And trust me, they're going to hate it more after they read it."
