Mark Levin: The Democrat Party hates America

Fox News host Mark Levin breaks down the allegations against President Biden and his son Hunter Biden and discusses the Justice Departments case against former President Donald Trump on Life, Liberty & Levin.

Conservatives on social media called for a boycott against Target after author Mark Levin announced the retail chain was refusing to carry his upcoming book because of its title.

"Target has informed my publisher, Simon & Schuster, that it will not carry my new book when it is released on September 19," the conservative radio host said on Twitter this week about his upcoming book, "The Democrat Party Hates America."

"It claims that certain customers might be offended by the title. Imagine that! So, the corporatist leftwing censorship begins," Levin wrote.

Conservatives on social media quickly rallied behind Levin and urged users to stop shopping at Target, which already faces a conservative boycott after being accused of promoting LGBT merchandise to children.

"Another good reason not to shop at Target," Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, tweeted.

"Target reminding conservatives not to shop there, in case tuck-friendly swimsuits and chest-binders for pride month weren’t enough," Media Research Center Brent Bozell tweeted.

"We've been offering this book for pre-sale since mid-June. As we have with Mark Levin’s past books, many of which are currently available for sale at Target, we'll offer his newest title for sale when it is available on September 19," a spokesperson for Target told Fox News Digital. "The use of the word ‘hate’ in the title caused our team to reach out to the publisher, but as stated, we are continuing to offer this book for pre-sale now and it will be available for sale on its release date. We regret any confusion this situation caused."

Levin told his followers on Thursday that Target had "reversed course."

"You folks are an immense force for free speech and market capitalism, and conservative authors and audiences everywhere will benefit from your patriotism," Levin said. "I could not be more proud of you — not only for how this specific case turned out, as there will undoubtedly be more of this — but because you’ve made it clear that you’ve had enough and will exercise your enormous power."
