Author Stephen King apologized
Friday for a post on X that, after Charlie Kirk's assassination, falsely claimed
the conservative activist had advocated "the stoning of gays to
death."
In the
now-deleted post Thursday, King wrote: "He advocated stoning gays to
death. Just sayin."
He was
reacting to a post Wednesday
by Fox News host Jesse Watters, who wrote just hours after Kirk was shot to
death: "Charlie Kirk was not a 'controversial' or 'polarizing' figure.
Charlie was a PATRIOT. THIS is a turning point, and we all need to turn in the
right direction. Rest in peace, my friend."
King, a
nemesis of President Donald Trump, received substantial blowback from Kirk
supporters, including Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
"You
are a horrible, evil, twisted liar. No, he did not," Cruz wrote on X.
"Your party — which you shamelessly shilled for — sent $100 billion to the
Ayatollah … who does routinely murder homosexuals. Why are you so dishonest
& filled with hate?"
King
reversed course Friday, deleting the tweet and posting apologies on X.
"I
apologize for saying Charlie Kirk advocated stoning gays," King wrote in
one post.
"What he actually demonstrated was how some people cherry-pick Biblical
passages."
King
also replied to Cruz's post: "The
horrible, evil, twisted liar apologizes. This is what I get for reading
something on Twitter w/o fact-checking. Won't happen again."
Cruz responded: "I
appreciate that @StephenKing deleted the false tweet about @charliekirk11 and
apologized. All of us — on both sides of the aisle — should treat each other
with respect & decency, even if we disagree on politics. Charlie did that
every day, and I admired him for it."
King's
post followed a trend of left-wing activists who either celebrated or smeared
Kirk in the wake of his killing at an event at Utah
Valley University.
Author
Gretchen Felker-Martin, whose 2022 novel, "Manhunt," was a
post-apocalyptic horror story featuring transgender characters, celebrated
Kirk's death on BlueSky. She reportedly wrote
"thoughts and prayers you Nazi [expletive]" and "Hope the
bullet's okay after touching Charlie Kirk."
DC
Comics canceled her debut "Red Hood" series the next day, citing
her inflammatory comments.
Felker-Martin,
who is transgender, refused to apologize, telling The
Comics Journal she had no regrets about her remarks.
Kirk's
killing "just didn't strike me as an especially hot flashpoint," she
said. "This is such a loathsome person. Everyone on the entire internet is
talking about how pleasant it is that he got his. … I saw that he had died in
the middle of spreading more of the bigotry that he spent his every waking
moment promulgating, and in a way that he had advocated for others to die and
felt nothing but contempt for his life.
"I
mean, this is a man who I've watched for years go on television and on enormous
stages and convention halls and say that me and everyone like me should be
stoned to death."
Meanwhile,
MSNBC fired political
analyst Matthew Dowd on Thursday after he said on the air that "hateful
thoughts lead to hateful words which ultimately lead to hateful actions"
and suggested early reports of the shooting warranted scrutiny of political
rhetoric.
Dowd
also wrote on X that Kirk's "hateful words" led to "hateful
actions," language that many saw as blaming Kirk for the violence.
