Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley’s failed push Wednesday to throw out electoral votes that went against President Trump cost him a book deal Thursday.
In a statement posted to social media, Simon & Schuster said it would not publish a forthcoming title called “The Tyranny of Big Tech” after “witnessing the disturbing, deadly insurrection” in Washington D.C. on Wednesday.
Hawley, a Republican, helped lead an effort to try and block Congress’s formal acceptance of Democrat Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory this week.
