On the Left, book deals are the signal, the buyout to get offstage. Leftists don’t read. They can’t. It’s a cash payout, thank you for your service...Next!
IIRC, Cindy Sheean got some sort of book deal before they threw her under the bus because she was no longer useful to them. The left will use grieving people to try to advance their agenda under the guise of caring about the them, then throw them aside when they cease to be useful. Evil and sad.
