Nobody wants to read Ted Cruz‘s crappy new book… except, apparently, for Ted Cruz.Recently released FEC filings suggest the antigay senator blew over $150,000 on copies of his own book using money donated to his campaign last fall.In September, Cruz released One Vote Away: How a Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History, for which he was paid a $320,000 advance by his publisher.
According to FEC filings, his campaign spent $153,000 at Books-a-Million shortly after its September 29 release.It’s not entirely clear what titles were purchased with that money, since the filing simply lists the purchase as “books”, but records show the campaign spent $40,000 on October 15.
