SEEKONK, Mass. (AP) — Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer's publisher says a book signing at a Massachusetts warehouse store has been canceled "due to the political climate."

Regnery Publishing said in a statement that the BJ's Wholesale Club in Seekonk canceled Spicer's book signing that was scheduled for Saturday to mark the release of "The Briefing," which came out Tuesday.

WPRI-TV reports that Regnery says it learned about the cancellation last Friday and was disappointed and surprised.

. . .

Spicer, a Rhode Island native, is a veteran Republican operative who served as President Donald Trump's press secretary during the tumultuous early months of his administration. Several other book signings in Rhode Island this month are still on.

11. Last month we visited an exhibition paying tribute to Leonard Bernstein

In one of the booth there were clips that showed songs from West Side Story used for many commercials.

But one of them was Melissa McCarthy entering the empty auditorium of SNL (I think) as Spicey, dancing to the "I feel pretty." Was really funny.

3. Well, when your entire community has watched you prostitute yourself on a street corner

you should probably expect a cold shoulder when you decide it's time to go back to church on Sundays.

5. It won't help book sales and it needs help !

Spanky's tweets can take down a candidate or a company's sales, but even he couldn't help sell this book! His tweet about it increased sales from 3 to 8 in one weekend ! Wow !!

MOFO trying to make some cash; stopped!

8. Maybe "political concerns" equals "we think no one is going to show up to buy the book".

Years ago, when Christine O'Donnell's ( "I'm not a witch." ) book came out, I went to a book signing at a nearby Barnes & Noble in a heavily Republican area to hang out and watch the book signing. In the 40 minutes I was there, not a single person came up to get a book signed.

10. Ding ding ding!

12. First, he has to correct the obvious "alternative facts"

From Jonathan Karl's book review:

He refers to the author of the infamous Trump dossier as “ Michael Steele, ” who is in truth the former chairman of the Republican National Committee, not the British ex-spy Christopher Steele. He recounts a reporter asking Mr. Obama a question at a White House press conference in 1999, a decade before Mr. Obama was elected.

13. Published by Regnery?

That pretty much tells you that no mainstream publisher would publish it. It's kind of like self-publishing for the RW/extreme Christian demographic.

Loser. Sad.
