| Petition rips S&S for signing book deal with former VP Mike Pence: 'Broke the public's trust'
Employees at Simon and Schuster submitted a petition Monday demanding their company refrain from publishing books authored by former Trump administration officials after they garnered 216 internal signatures and several thousand from outside supporters.
The petition was submitted to senior executives and specifically called on the company to stop the planned publishing of former Vice President Mike Pence’s memoir, as well as not treat "the Trump administration as a ‘normal’ chapter in American history," according to The Wall Street Journal.
"When S&S chose to sign Mike Pence, we broke the public’s trust in our editorial process, and blatantly contradicted previous public claims in support of Black and other lives made vulnerable by structural oppression," the petition read, seemingly referencing the company’s previous statements associated with Black Lives Matter, as well as its decision not to publish a book authored by police officer Jonathan Mattingly, one of the officers involved in the shooting of Breonna Taylor.
