  • Costco Pulled America Book by Dinesh D’Souza-Truth! But Now Resolved! Costco Pulled America Book by Dinesh D’Souza- Truth! But Now Resolved! Summary of eRumor: Rumors that retail giant Costco Wholesale has told all stores to remove copies of America: Imagine the World Without Her by Dinesh D’Souza. The Truth: This was true, according to a July 8, 2014, article by the Washington Times. The source for the story was an exclusive released by World Net Daily. Later that day Fox News reported that the Costco CFO said the book will return to shelves and denied that the books were pulled for political reasons, instead blaming shoddy book sales. D’Souza said that roughly 3,600 copies of his newest release has sold at Costco already, but he has no idea why the chain refuses to sell more. A Costco spokesperson told the TruthOrFiction.com team that the company does not carry books that are political in nature, and the book did not meet the company’s criteria. At the time of our investigation the book was number three on the Amazon.com best seller list. Speculators believe that the policy may have only been aimed toward those who criticize the Obama administration, or the agenda of the Democratic Party. A second call to a local Costco by the TruthOrFiction.com team revealed that Hard Choices by Hillary Clinton, who is favored for a presidential run in 2016 by many Democrats, was in stock and available for sale. On June 14, 2014, former Secretary of State Clinton made an appearance at a Costco in Virginia for a book signing . At the time of our investigation Hard Coices was number 91 on the Amazon.com best seller list. Photo found on Politico website. Posted 07/08/14 Posted in Miscellaneous , Politics (en)
