Stephen King APOLOGIZES After Being Threatened With Lawsuit Over Vile Charlie Kirk Post
In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, notorious left-wing writer Stephen King used social media to spread a baseless smear about him.
Shortly after Charlie Kirk’s death was confirmed, Stephen King posted on X, seemingly implying that he deserved it.
King accused Charlie Kirk of advocating for “stoning gays to death” — which, of course, is entirely false.
Exhibit A:
There are a lot of Democrats trying to say the assassination of Charlie Kirk was acceptable because he hated gays.
First off… it is insane to believe you can murder someone for not liking gays.
Secondly, Charlie didn’t even hate gays. Watch this clip! pic.twitter.com/OpmYlXoxX5

Exhibit B:
Charlie Kirk was a good man who welcomed gay people into the conservative movement.

But, of course, Stephen King didn’t do his homework.
He didn’t back up his smear with any proof or do his research before posting the defamatory statement.
Here’s Stephen King’s original (now-deleted) post:
Rightfully so, Stephen King got a ton of backlash immediately on this.
Sen. Ted Cruz turned the tables on him:
You are a horrible, evil, twisted liar.
No, he did not.
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? https://t.co/slxhbWBbQ0

Sen. Mike Lee suggested a lawsuit:
Please share if you agree that the estate of Charlie Kirk should sue Stephen King for defamation over this heinously false accusation
He’s crossed a line

Sebastian Gorka also went after Stephen King, demanding he prove the horrific claim he was making:
When?
You decrepit liar.
Show us when Charlie ever said that.
When you can’t, publicly apologize to his widow Erika, and Charlie’s children.
But you can’t, can you, because you are a soulless ghoul who believed pouring your perversions into “novels” would help you.
It… https://t.co/GNdb6Mixih

It won’t. https://x.com/stephenking/st/
Now, Stephen King is panicking and trying to walk it all back.
This evening, he posted an apology on X.
I apologize for saying Charlie Kirk advocated stoning gays. What he actually demonstrated was how some people cherry-pick Biblical passages.

Stephen King also deleted his original post.
He did reply to several of the responses he got from prominent figures and admitted he did not do any fact-checking before firing off the post.
Take a look:
The horrible, evil, twisted liar apologizes. This is what I get for reading something on Twitter w/o fact-checking. Won’t happen again. https://t.co/L7fL2Ml4eR

I have apologized. https://t.co/28bhe8M6R3

I was wrong, and I apologize. I have deleted the post. https://t.co/v6NOIUGEvS

What do you think?
Apology accepted?
Or ‘too little, too late’?
