The problem is he said it but in context to a discussion of people cherry picking biblical quotes. So if you ask AI if he said it, you get no context. AI will say it appears he said it.

I give credit to King apologizing but more so for adding the context. I don't like him. He is cranky in his old age but he apologized pretty quickly. Someone he trusts must have pointed out his error.

He's still wrong. Charlie Kirk didn't cherry-pick Bliblical passages. He clearly, succinctly, and accurately expressed Biblical truth.


He wasn't saying Charlie did. Some girl tried to "gotcha" Charlie with a single verse from Leviticus (cherry picking). Charlie called her out and noted that a following verse talked about stoning homosexuals and basically asked should we do that too, since you're cherry picking?

Stephen King is repugnant but at least when he got the whole context, he recognized Charlie's point and apologized (likely in an attempt to avoid being sued).

Stephen King once wrote about kids having a gang bang. He’s trash.

It's wild that Leftists celebrate Charlie's death because of some quotes they took out of context.

But also, free muh Palestine. The people who actually would stone homosexuals.

How many of these social media and MSM "mistakes" influenced the shooter to target Charlie Kirk?

Seems like all of Kirk's "hateful rhetoric" that Leftists bring up was either taken way out of context or completely made up.


It is literally everywhere are being parroted in echo chambers.

If you want a really fun one, run down the claim that he advocated for lynching of trans people and backstory of that one.

That’s the main lie I’ve been hearing.

Imagine if these sick fricks got their way and we had the drunk Harris as president.

They blamed a woman dying from taking an abortion pill on non existent abortion bans.

I read his books as a teenager, but after revisiting one, I noticed how silly and myopic the writing was, and only a young mind with the ability to confabulate corrections could enjoy it.

A mind of 25 couldn't enjoy the books anymore,

Stephen needs to stick to writing child sex scenes and stay the hell out of civil discussions.

I’d say this is probably 90% of the retard leftists making comments. They just regurgitating the made up shite posted by other leftist loons.

Shows what kinda low IQ most are.

Hopefully this is a turning point fkr King. I doubt it because he is ate up with leftism but at least he apologized without qualification.

Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if the contracts for these movies has a penalty clause for how much King gets if he does something like this. His publicist probably wrote the apology.

He’s a sack of shite. But I will at least give him credit for back tracking and saying he was stupid for believing something he read on Twitter without verifying it.

Still, frick him though

I see this as a good start. Make them recant and repent. They are now afraid, seeing they cannot spew vileness without repercussions, as they have been able to do for so long.
