At least one person is facing consequences as a result of Wednesday’s riot on Capitol Hill: Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., has lost his book deal.

Hawley’s “The Tyranny of Big Tech,” a book critical of big tech corporations including Google and Facebook, was set to publish in June.

But on Thursday, publisher Simon & Schuster, in a press release posted to its website, announced it would no longer be publishing Hawley’s book.

As a reminder, Josh Howley Proponent of violence Never again in any position of authority. Simon and Schuster, the publisher of the book, continue to call for the continued support of the public. I refused to publish His book (with great pleasure) is called the “Great Tech Rule.” Make no mistake about it, It was Hawley’s campaign book to push for a 2024 nomination. Someone else is a dictator And that they are here “to save.” This is the whole game of Josh Howley over the last two years: “Big Technology” is a “dictator” who came here to “liberate” you with evil laws. But it’s all a game for him.

The description of Simon and Schuster was very simple

After watching the horrific riots in Washington, DC, Simon and Schuster decided to cancel the publication of the upcoming senator, Josh Howley. We did not take this decision lightly. As a publisher, our mission is always to highlight different voices and perspectives; At the same time, we take our great public responsibility seriously, and we cannot support Senator Hawley once he has been in a dangerous position for our democracy and our freedom.

 

I immediately left, and I Joke Howley – based on social media for his senseless attacks – said this was “unfair censorship” and would pass a new law requiring Simon and Schuster to publish the book. That joke turned out to be more real than I expected. An hour or so later, Josh Howley, a self-proclaimed constitutional lawyer, a law school graduate from the Yale Law School and a secretary of the Supreme Court, Simon and Schuster, were somehow attacked for not publishing their books. .

The statement reads

 

My statement to the awakened people of Simon and Schuster:

 

This could not be more Orwellian. Simon and Schuster are canceling my contract because I was representing my constituents, leading a debate on the validity of the vote in the Senate, and now they have decided to reconsider it as a riot. Let me be clear, this is not just a contract dispute. One of the improvements is a direct attack. Only authorized speech can now be published. They are left-handed who want to delete everything that is not approved. With all my might, I will fight this culture of erasure. We will contact you in court.

 

Everything Hawley says in this case is absolute bullying. He is about to be embarrassed. First of all, one of the greatest publications in the world is a scam. But it is worse to use the word ‘mob’ the next day after you have helped to motivate Real people to hit the Capitol building To discard election results.

Howley has no legal claim here. First Amendment never buys this. He has every right to express his opinion, but he does not have the right to force the huge printing press to give him a huge book contract to support his new presidential campaign. If he wants to publish such a book, I hear that Amazon has some good self-publishing tools that will allow him to do so. Like a collection of other self-publishing platforms. Isn’t technology amazing?

And because Hawley wants to be “clear,” he is the only Orwellian Hawley here – he tries to spread the power of his people by interpreting the meaning of words to match the meaning of his words.

But really, all of this is true Consequences for your own actions, Joshua. You know, the kind of “conservatives” they used to pretend.
