Mark Levin claims Target refuses to sell his book over fears of offending liberal customers.

Target Bans Conservative Radio Host’s Book

Get ready for some controversy! Conservative radio personality Mark Levin’s highly anticipated book has been banned by Target, one of the largest retail chains in the country. But why? Well, it seems that Target was concerned that the book, titled “The Democrat Party Hates America,” would offend Democrats. Can you believe it?

In a tweet on July 6, Mr. Levin expressed his disappointment, stating that Target had informed his publisher, Simon & Schuster, that they would not carry his book upon its release on September 19. According to Mr. Levin, Target claimed that the title might offend certain customers. Talk about left-wing censorship!

Curious about the details, The Epoch Times reached out to Target for verification. We’ll have to wait and see what they have to say.

The Controversial Book

So, what’s all the fuss about? In his book, Mr. Levin characterizes the Democrat Party as an entity that has been actively working to rewrite history and dismantle the foundations of freedom in America since its establishment. It’s definitely a bold take on the subject.

Of course, there were those who supported Target’s decision to ban the book. Ryan Grim, the Washington, D.C., bureau chief at news outlet The Intercept, tweeted, “Can’t imagine why they didn’t want this screaming at their shoppers. Really unfair, man.” James Surowiecki, author of “The Wisdom of Crowds,” echoed a similar sentiment, stating, “Not surprising Target isn’t interested in selling a book the title of which slurs a huge chunk of its customer base.”

However, many people came to Mr. Levin’s defense and criticized Target for censoring his book. Former National Security advisor Mike Flynn tweeted, “Let’s give @marklevinshow a big lift here. I’ve read every book he’s written and listen to his show routinely. This is simply another form of censorship. #WeThePeople are going to stand our ground and say ENOUGH is ENOUGH!” Brent Bozell, founder of Media Research Center, also chimed in, saying, “Target reminding conservatives not to shop there, in case tuck-friendly swimsuits and chest-binders for Pride Month weren’t enough.”

Boycotting Target

This isn’t the first time Target has faced backlash. Earlier this year, the retail chain received boycott calls after launching its Pride collection in May. Some of the offerings, particularly those aimed at children, sparked controversy.

For instance, Target introduced books with titles like “Pride 1,2,3,” “Bye Bye, Binary,” and “I’m Not a Girl” for kids aged 2–8. They even suggested “The Pronoun Book” for kids aged 0–3. In the home décor section, Target offered mugs labeled “Gender Fluid” and even had transgender swimsuits for adults with a “tuck-friendly” feature. These choices didn’t sit well with everyone.

It’s clear that Target’s decisions have stirred up quite a bit of controversy. Whether it’s banning books or rolling out controversial collections, the retail giant seems to be at the center of it all. Only time will tell how this will impact their business.
