Target to Drop Mark Levin Book for Fear of Offending Democrats
Breitbart ^ | 07/06/2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Target has reportedly informed conservative radio host and litigator Mark Levin, via his publisher, that it will not carry his new book, The Democrat Party Hates America, for fear of offending Democrats who shop there.

Levin, whose previous books have been New York Times bestsellers, made the revelation on Twitter yesterday:

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. I will discuss this in…

Target’s stance on Levin’s book contrasts with the chain store’s approach to controversial transgender-themed clothing, which it rolled out ahead of Pride Month, and which prompted a nationwide backlash by customers.

Target keeps stepping in number 2. Do they think that being woke is going to keep them in business?

I quit Target when they boasted about men being allowed in the women’s bathrooms.

I can’t even remember the last time I was in a Target. Way before the bathroom thing. Been that long.

Would a typical Target customer buy Levin’s book?

We’re heading for segregated stores. In some ways, I wouldn’t mind that. On the other hand, it would just be best if stores stopped pushing woke crap.

I guess they didn’t get the memo about Budweiser.

In a nutshell yes. Target locates almost exclusively in urban areas and is extremely left leaning.

I went in a target when they first opened the Super Stores years ago. Looked around a minute and left. Never been back. Odd, I just did’t like the vibe inside. It was discomforting to me for some reason I never grasped.

Target gives me the same feeling too. Almost like the days KMart when my mother would drag me there to go shopping.

Strange color combinations, odd product placement, and a funny smell throughout. Target simply triggers my “Blecch” response. I’ve probably been in one 3 times over the last 20 years.

Here's what's awesome about this:

The Democrat Party Hates America by Mark R. Levin

Nothing gets a "Democratic Party" stalwart going like calling them "The Democrat Party".

Levin knows this, and did it on purpose.

I like the way he thinks on this matter. Smashmouth.

Sorry the proper hat to wear with that is a tin foil cap.
