Wingnut welfare and the NYTimes Best Seller List are so intertwined:

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s political action committee reportedly dished out $42,000 on book purchases the day his memoir was released.

His book, Never Give An Inch: Fighting for the America I Love, which hit bookshelves on Jan. 24, quickly ascended to become the No. 3 New York Times bestseller for hardcover nonfiction during its debut.

Pompeo’s PAC, Champion American Values, paid Bulk Books $42,000 for “books,” according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission, which was reported by Forbes. The New York Times indicated that Pompeo’s book had been boosted by bulk order purchases in its bestseller list.

No one told us Pompeo was literate. Shocked, I am.
