After receiving criticism for prominently displaying LGBT &#8220;pride&#8221; merchandise in stores, the retail giant is now facing backlash for refusing to sell conservative author Mark Levin&#8217;s upcoming book, &#8220;The Democrat Party Hates America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a tweet, Levin revealed that Target had informed his publisher, Simon &#038; Schuster, that they would not carry his book due to concerns that the title might offend certain customers. Levin called this move &#8220;corporatist left-wing censorship.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Target has informed my publisher, Simon &#038; Schuster, that it will not carry my new book when it is released on September 19.
