A Fox news host has crushed Jen Psaki in book sales, despite the former White House press secretary’s book coming out weeks earlier.
Pete Hegseth’s book ‘The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men who Keep us Free’ has sold 60,000 copies since its release on June 4.
By comparison, ex-Biden spokeswoman Psaki’s “Say More,” which was released on May 6, has sold fewer than 22,000 total copies to date, according to Bookscan.
Her MSNBC colleague Joy Reid’s ‘Medgar and Myrlie’ has sold 28,469 copies since its publication in early February.
And Hegseth also hammered CNN host Jake Tapper’s “All The Demons Are Here,” which sold just 15,427 copies in the eleven months it was on sale.
Hegseth’s debut hit number one on the New York Times bestseller list, his fourth time appearing on the weekly rankings.
It comes despite research from the Economist indicating that the newspaper’s iconic bestseller list is less likely to include works by conservative authors, even though it sells as many copies as other works.
