Senator Josh Hawley is convinced that he is being censored, silenced, and canceled by both the liberal media AND what he derisively calls “Big Tech.” This, despite the fact he is a frequent guest on Fox News, is heard speaking publicly at many Senate hearings in which he participates, oh and he now has one of the best selling books on Amazon.

Tyranny of Big Tech was published on May 4th by Regnery Books, after Simon & Schuster opted not to publish the book following his role in the events of January 6th. The decision to pass on a book by the Missouri Senator seemed to give credence to Hawley’s argument to some, and perhaps even gave him a title for a follow up The Tyranny of Big Publishing, but the book came out and his supporters appeared to turn out in droves top purchase it.

Hawley tweeted a bit of celebration of his book becoming a best seller, writing “Thanks for making Tyranny of Big Tech a best seller on Amazon!” before adding a link to the massive online retailer for his Twitter followers to purchase their own copy. TYRANNY!

The term “Big Tech” is sort of an amorphous one, but there is no question that Amazon is included in that term. So the irony of Hawley praising Amazon, and sharing a link, was not lost on many a Twitter user who delighted in pointing out how not canceled Hawley truly is. To wit:
