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.

A BJ’s spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

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.

  1. Maybe they have some spare SecServ persons from Scott Pruitt’s praetorianer guard, that he could borrow ?

  2. You mean the climate where no one wants your book because it’s so full of lies it make’s works of fiction seem real?

  3. Seekonk, MA borders Spicey’s hometown of Barrington, RI. If he can’t make it there, he ain’t gonna make anywhere with this dog’s breakfast of a book he’s trying to peddle. The political climate’s not the problem, it’s the proximity–folks know his sorry act all to well there.

  4. You know Regnery Publishing is where conservative hacks try to make a living.
