Kennedy Touts 1.4 Million Fauci Book Sales After Fifth Amendment Hearing

Summary
Hours after Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment before Senate Republicans, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promoted his 2021 anti-Fauci book on social media and Fox News, calling it the top nonfiction hardcover bestseller.
Kennedy said the book sold 1.4 million copies, and the renewed attention around Fauci appears to have lifted sales for several books attacking him.
Rand Paul, who chaired the hearing, and Kennedy’s son Robert F. Kennedy III have also published critical Fauci books tied to the same burst of publicity.
Skyhorse Publishing links much of that ecosystem: it published all three books, its founder Tony Lyons advises Kennedy, and Skyhorse later acquired Paul’s publisher Regnery in 2023.
