Irritable, spandex-wearing freak Congressman Jim Jordan has been granted with an elite honor in the GOP world: unearned sales of his book, subsidized by National Republican Congressional Committee donors who are being given copies of “Do What You Said You Would Do: Fighting for Freedom in the Swamp” as “mementos”, Politico Playbook reports. “We set aside a signed copy of Jim Jordan’s new book just for YOU! Order now and help retake our House majority!” says one NRCC Facebook ad touting a tome that would otherwise have sat in a warehouse for half a year before being sold by the pallet to a piñata factory in Northern Mexico for three cents a pound.
Jordan joins Don Jr, Sean Hannity, Ted Cruz, and Dan Crenshaw on an exclusive list of Republican figures whose books would have otherwise sold jack shit that can now technically claim to be “bestselling authors” solely on the backs of GOP donors (actually Hannity probably did alright on his own with book sales before the RNC padded his numbers anyway in 2020).
And to be fair, it does look like “Do What You Said You Would Do” is doing pretty well in its own niche market too. Currently sits at #1 on Amazon… in the category of “Wrestler Biographies.” Really.
