Cori Bush’s debut book sells just 729 copies in first week

NYPost:
A new book by lefty Democratic Rep. Cori Bush (D-Missouri) debuted with a face-plant this month, selling just 729 copies in its first week, according to industry tracker NPD BookScan.

“The Forerunner: A Story of Pain and Perseverance in America,” was released by Knopf on Oct. 4. The publisher paid Bush — an anti-police socialist who stoked BLM riots in 2020 — an advance of at least $50,000, Bush’s financial disclosure reports show.

Things only went downhill from there, with NDP reporting just 288 books sold in its second week.

The book is billed as a political memoir which delves into Bush’s history as a minimum-wage worker, survivor of sexual violence and Black Lives Matter activist.

“When I wasn’t in Ferguson [MO.], I would still see armored vehicles, even when they were not there. At random moments in the day, I would smell tear gas, even when none had been sprayed,” she wrote, claiming her time protesting gave her PTSD. more

  1. I used to get more hits in a week on song parodies at thepeoplescube than that. Before the powers that be started limiting Oleg’s access to Twitter and Wikipedia and even Google, that is

  2. Book deals are one of the payoffs. That means each book hat to sale for at least $140 a piece for her $100,000 payoff.
    Others:
    Bill Clinton $15m
    Hillary Clinton $14m
    Amy Schumer $9m
    Obamas $65 millio
    “Hillary Received $8 Million in Book Advance Before Leaving White House ‘Broke’ in 2000”
    My question is, “What did they sale, while they were in office?”.

  3. This is the same fat-ass that protested on the capitol, supposedly overnight.
    She was surrounded by Cheetos, Oreos & potato chips.
    30 minute hunger-strike!
    Fucking cow!

  4. “…claiming her time protesting gave her PTSD”

    No.

    HELL no.

    PTSD is for people doing HONORABLE things that get caught up in severely bad situations, like soldiers in a war or policemen at a riot or firefighters pulling out burnt remains of people who died in buildings torched by rioters.

    PTSD is NOT for people doing OPTIONAL lawbreaking and get a whiff of tear gas because they are somewhere they shouldn’t be doing something they shouldn’t be doing.

    Using a term that compares herself getting watery eyes while being a complete bitch to a combat medic who had to hump roughly torn dying young men off a battlefield under fire is absolutely wrong and reprehensibly disgusting.

    This fat, nasty, rioting cow doesn’t have any right to use the acronym PTSD unless it stands for Pass That Shit, Dude, in HER case.

    THAT bitch doesn’t have PTSD.

    But she should be in prison for having caused it in OTHERS.

  5. Total Soros commie cunt. Typical commie money laundering and graft payout scheme.

    Sales are immaterial, there will be bulk pallet purchases sitting in a Soros owned warehouse, free travel, and speaking/promotion fees while Georgie Porgie washes dirty international money through the publishing houses.

  6. Who was the target audience, White liberal elites that don’t want you in their neighbourhoods or the illiterates your edumacashun system that believes spellaging is rassis at $38 per copy?

    (that’s about 2 buckets of chicken during liberal created Hyper inflation)

  7. 729 copies in first week, but how many actually read it? Another book that we’ll see at Family Dollar or Dollar Tree like we did with the Obama’s and Clintons. I’ll never forget seeing Hillary’s “It Takes a Village” at the Dollar Tree years ago. That’s the last profit center for the book, next stop are thrift stores. BTW, since we’re in the digital age, books will become dinosaurs, you’ll read it on line if you want to read it. Only Book worth having IMHO and perhaps several of them in the home, is the Bible.

  8. Not bad. Since she’s a member in good standing of the leftist cabal the publisher will report a million sales, giving her two dollars per book. Ask Hillary and Obama. Anyway, that works out to about two grand for every word she correctly spelled, 50 grand for every word she knows the meaning of.
