The spat between Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., and President-elect Donald Trump has caused the civil rights icon’s two books to sell out.
March, Lewis’s graphic novel about the civil rights movement, is now on top of Amazon’s best-seller list. His memoir, Walking the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement, is the second book on the list, and both sold out on Amazon.
Both books jumped to the top of the list after Trump tweeted that Lewis “should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart.” Trump’s Saturday tweets come after Lewis said he didn’t see Trump as “legitimate” and would not be attending the Friday inauguration ceremony.
Lewis’s other book, Across That Bridge: Life Lessons and Vision for Change, is also now the top book in the Philosophy of Ethics and Morality section on Amazon.com.
Twitter users reacted to Trump’s tweets against Lewis by coming to his defense.
“After reading classified Russian hacking doc & @realDonaldTrump offensive tweets to @repjohnlewis I will not be attending the Inauguration,” fellow Democratic congressman Mark Pocan tweeted.
