RFK Jr., Got the picture?

58. And there you have it, more proof of the right-wing book fraud machine.

Kennedy Jr. by contrast has spent months hyping his book, including at the far right Reawaken America conference in Southern California in July. Last month, CHD urged supporters to buy the book right away so it would make the New York Times bestseller list. Some commenters on CHD’s site said they bought multiple copies to drive sales. One said they had bought nine and were planning to buy more to put in neighborhood book exchange boxes “to help boost the book to number one on the New York Times bestseller list.”

We all know about how this works with their "think" tanks and fundraisers, partly because the New York Times Book Review explained it when they started keeping tabs on fraudulent far-right book "sales" figures. The "think" tanks and party organizations make huge bulk buys, and then give the books away at fundraisers or as premiums when people subscribe to NewsMax or whatever. Anything that can't be given away either gets sold to the dollar stores or is shredded.

Now it looks like the latest thing is to con the MAGA chuds into buying multiple copies to further inflate book sales. One wonders what they do with all those stacks of books, though.
