Sales of Bill Clinton's new book suggest he’s going to come out of #MeToo unscathed

Bill Clinton is going to be just fine.

His media tour to promote his novel, The Missing President, has seen a lot of bumps and hard downward turns. Clinton has caught a lot of flack from Twitter and news media for his tone-deaf remarks on his treatment of Monica Lewinsky as well as his defense of disgraced former Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn.

But the fact that Clinton's thriller is selling like bananas suggests the anger directed at his #MeToo remarks has been relegated mostly to newsrooms and social media. Put more simply, the public is still eager to pick up what the former president is putting putting down.

The Hollywood Reporter reported in an article, titled “Bill Clinton, James Patterson Novel Sells 250,000 Copies in First Week,” Wednesday:

Not since 2015's 'Go Set a Watchman' has an adult fiction title sold as many books as 'The President Is Missing' has in its first week.
Neither a rehash of the Monica Lewinsky scandal nor the suicide of best-selling author and TV host Anthony Bourdain appears to have substantially dented first-week sales of The President Is Missing, the thriller co-written by former President Bill Clinton and James Patterson. Alfred A. Knopf announced that the book has sold 250,000 copies across all formats and of that, Nielsen BookScan reported sales of 152,000 hardcover copies. (Nielsen represents about 85 percent of total print sales).
