Tell Barnes and Noble, BAM, and HudsonWhite Christian nationalism should not be sold in stores

Posted: Feb. 1, 2021

Senator Josh Hawley and Christian author Eric Metaxas helped incite the attack on the U.S. Capitol by spreading lies about the election results. Yet instead of facing accountability, they're preparing for a big payday with new books.

Hawley, who often cites his evangelical faith, led the Senate charge to throw out the ballots of Black and Brown voters. Meanwhile, Metaxas emceed a major "Stop the Steal" rally and told his radio listeners, "We need to fight to the death, to the last drop of blood, because [overturning the election is] worth it." Metaxas has also wrongly insisted that Jesus was white.

Now both conspiracy theorists have book deals with the same Christian-owned publisher. More than 16,000 Faithful America members and counting have called for Regnery Publishing to drop the books. This upsets Trump and Hawley's allies, but the simple fact is it shouldn't be controversial for Christians to support democracy or oppose terrorism and white nationalism.

Now we're taking the fight to the major bookstore chains. If Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and Hudson hear from enough Christian readers and consumers opposed to giving private platforms to violent white Christian nationalists, they may think twice about stocking these books.

Sign the petition:

As readers, consumers, and Christians, we are deeply offended by the decision of Regnery Publishing, a division of Salem Media Group, to publish authors Josh Hawley and Eric Metaxas. Both Hawley and Metaxas helped incite the Capitol insurrection by spreading lies and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election results, sometimes in the name of our faith.

Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and Hudson Booksellers have a civic responsibility to deny their private platforms and profits to these and other authors who helped provoke the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol with electoral disinformation.

We call on you to announce that you will not sell or display these authors' books, and that you will also cease carrying all titles from Regnery until it discontinues publishing those deadly authors.
