(ReclaimingAmerica.net) – Target, the mega-retailer that has already sparked protests and boycotts over its hard-left decisions, banned a new book by the famous conservative legal expert and talk show host Mark Levin that exposes Democrats’ hatred for America – before ultimately reversing course after a social media campaign.
In an apparent attempt at political censorship, Target refused to sell Levin’s upcoming book, “The Democrat Party Hates America.”
Levin reacted by “fueling” a campaign to boycott the retailer, which succeeded as Newsmax reports that it quickly made it backtrack on the book’s rejection.
“Target has informed my publisher, Simon & Schuster, that it will not carry my new book when it is released on September 19,” Levin informed on Twitter Wednesday night.
“It claims that certain customers might be offended by the title. Imagine that!” he added, comparing the rejection to the Biden administration’s collaboration with Big Tech social media to stifle political descent.
“So, the corporatist leftwing censorship begins,” the conservative pundit added.
His announcement kicked off an online boycott campaign against Target. A consumer boycott has mauled the woke corporation since May due to its aggressive marketing of transgenderism-promoting items ahead of Gay Pride month.
“Another good reason not to shop at Target,” tweeted Republican US Rep. Chip Roy of Texas.
“Target reminding conservatives not to shop there, in case tuck-friendly swimsuits and chest-binders for pride month weren’t enough,” reacted Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell.
“A book titled, ‘The Democrat Party Hates America’ is deemed ‘too offensive’ for Target, but ‘chest binders’ and ‘penis tuckers’ for prepubescent children are just fine,” wrote another Twitter user.
“They like to ‘target’ people with ‘wrong’ opinions,” commented another.
The social media outcry seems to have worked, leading Target to reverse its decision on Levin’s book.
“Target just informed my publisher that it has reversed course and will be taking my new book in its stores upon its release,” the conservative pundit and Fox News host tweeted Thursday.
“You folks are an immense force for free speech and market capitalism, and conservative authors and audiences everywhere will benefit from your patriotism. I could not be more proud of… you’ve made it clear that you’ve had enough and will exercise your enormous power. The silent majority is silent no longer,” Levin elaborated.
