Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) did not appear to have a strong showing with her new book.
The progressive firebrand and member of the "Squad" in Congress sold 729 copies of her memoir The Forerunner: A Story of Pain and Perseverance in America during the first week of sales, the New York Post reported, citing NPD BookScan. The following week, she only sold 288 copies.
"From one of America's most transformative politicians and activists, a powerful and inspiring memoir that sheds light on a harrowing personal journey and reveals how urgently we need our political leadership to prioritize meeting the needs of our most marginalized communities," a description of her book reads.
Her memoir focuses on her time working a minimum-wage job, surviving sexual violence, and rising through the political ranks into Congress. She was paid at least $50,000 by the publisher, according to financial disclosure reports.
Bush's book hit bookshelves on Oct. 4, and the congresswoman did a media blitz promoting it. At one point, while promoting the book, she recounted a painful memory of what she described as a forced abortion that she endured at the age of 19.
"I thought I was ready. And I went in, and I went through all the steps because ... it's almost like an assembly line," Bush recalled in an interview on Firing Line. "I was helped up onto the table by the nurse. And I lay there. And I started to think, 'Well, one, I didn't tell the father, that that was about to happen.' And I just felt like I needed more time."

Hollywierd Script material! That is how out of touch they are.
Does it come with crayons?
Awwww ..... poor thing! No one loves him ... awwwww, so sad.
LOL, the title of the book just cries out, “Bargain Bin”!
I bought 700 of them in case I need them for heat. It was at the Dollar Tree for $0.75.
The books would be worth more with perforated pages.
She gets her money regardless of how many copies are sold. It’s a payoff.
Or re-cast as rolling papers.
No way her book sold 729 copies.
Her family is not that big...
They learned to eat books.
$50 mil my Aunt Tilly......he’s got Money laundries all over to wash all the federal tax dollars he filched.
that include bulk sales?
bulk bribes...um, purchases from donors usually help
At least she has her Thermos.
And that's all I need, and this remote control, I need that, the thermos and the remote control, and that's all I need.......
You’re fast…
And 725 of those were bought by a PAC that supports her. /s
