A “Manifesto of Hate”: Marjorie Taylor Greene Incensed as Major Retailer Rejects Her Book for Stocking

Minute Read

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, has criticized Hudson Booksellers for deciding not to carry her “Tell-All” in their stores. Hudson’s decision marks another instance where the bookseller has declined to stock an “America First” book. Donald Trump Jr., co-owner of the Publishing Company that labeled MTG as “the most dangerous woman in Washington” on their website, expressed his concern on Twitter, decrying the situation as an act of “Censorship.”

“We Wish You Luck.”

Shortly before the book’s launch, Hudson Booksellers declared they would not be stocking the title. Hudson reportedly told Greene last month. “We wish you luck with your publishing endeavors, but we will not be carrying your title,”

Choosing Titles Based on Sales

With over 1,000 stores in airports and commuter centers across 39 states, the company reportedly clarified that their selection process for stocking titles relies on sales history, which Marjorie Taylor Greene does not possess.

Trump Jr.’s Company Published the Book

Winning Team Publishing is releasing the book, a company co-founded by Donald Trump Jr. This publishing house has previously published works such as the ex-president’s “Letters from Trump” and “Crimes Against America” by Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro.

MTG Is a MAGA Firebrand

The Winning Team Publishing website describes MTG’s book. It reads, “In her first book, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene reveals her personal account of the battles she fights in the halls of Congress and beyond. MTG shares the story of her incredible ascension from small town business owner to MAGA firebrand!”

“The Most Dangerous Woman in Washington”

Winning Team Publishing goes on to state, “Known for her humor and honesty, MTG offers a never-before-seen glimpse at her decision to give up private sector success for public service, her unfiltered views on the most important issues facing our nation, and the personal sacrifices that come with being ‘the most dangerous woman in Washington.’”

Pulling Back the Curtain on the Swamp

“No other book pulls back the curtain on Washington, the swamp, and the Democrat political elite like MTG. MTG’s story will inspire anyone who has ever felt that their voice isn’t powerful enough to make a difference,” concluded Trump Jr.’s publishing company.

It Makes No Sense, Says Co-founder

The co-founder of Winning Team Publishing with Trump Jr., Sergio Gor, conveyed to Washington Secrets, “It makes absolutely no sense that some of the biggest names are omitted from Hudson and their airport news stores. It’s one thing when they pass on one conservative author, but it’s wholly unacceptable when every single America First author gets passed over. This seems wrong. They should have both sides represented.”

Trump Jr. Cries “Censorship!”

Trump Jr. took to X to complain about the decision. He posted, “CENSORSHIP! @HudsonBooks refuses to carry AMERICA FIRST authors! They refused to carry@WinningTeamPub authors @JudgeJeanine & @KariLake. Now they are refusing @mtgreenee at airport bookstores! I also learned that they refused @marklevinshow best selling book. Why are they ignoring the silent majority?”

Censorship or Capitalism?

In response, online users posted, “Capitalism! Businesses have the right to refuse to sell products they don’t want to.”

Chadwick Moore’s Biography Tucker Also Missing From Shelves.

Chadwick Moore, a best-selling author, also posted, “Hudson Books also won’t carry my New York Times Bestselling biography of Tucker Carlson. Weird.”

Hudson Refused to Stock Best Selling Author Levin.

Alleging constraints on shelf space at airport stores, the well-known bookseller Hudson has rejected the inclusion of books by author Mark Levin and those published by Winning Team Publishing.

In 2020, Forbes published an article written by Siladitya Ray titled ‘RNC Spent More Than $300,000 On Donald Trump Jr.’s New Book.’ The Topline read, “The Republican National Committee (RNC) reportedly paid more than $300,000 to buy copies of Donald Trump Jr.’s new self-published book,”

Book Was “Given Out” to Donors.

According to a report by Daily Beast, the book “was eventually given out to donors who had contributed between $50 and $100 to the RNC.” Donors to the RNC who contributed were reportedly rewarded with autographed copies of the book “Liberal Privilege,” contributing significantly to the raised funds.

Payment Made to a Company in Eric Trump’s Name

Per the Daily Beast report, the RNC paid $303,892.47 to a company named Pursuit Venture LLC, where the former President’s eldest son, Eric, was listed as the company’s principal.

Single Largest Payment of “Gifts” From Donors

The Daily Beast also reported that, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the payments made by the RNC to Trump Jr.’s company represented the most significant single payment ever reported by the committee for donor “gifts.”

Laundering Money From PAC to Politician

Users went online to discuss the news that Hudson Booksellers had refused to stock MTG’s new book. One user posted, “Their PACS buy the books. Laundering money from PAC to the politician while making it look like people buy the book.”

Manifesto of Hate

Another posted,”’ Book?’ Her manifesto of hate they meant I’m sure.” Another user posted in agreement with Trump Jr. “To censor opposing views to their leftist narrative. Been doing it a while now.” So, will the RNC be buying MTG’s new “Tell-All”?
