Stephen King New York times’ best selling D*****bag

Stephen King, the master of horror and self-described political commentator, took to X this week to publish some fiction of a different kind. Instead of crafting another tale about a telepathic alcoholic, a wrongly convicted inmate, or a demonic clown terrorizing children in Maine, King decided to invent a story about one of America’s most beloved political commentators: Charlie Kirk.

Just days after Kirk’s tragic assassination, King couldn’t resist inserting himself into the discourse. Rather than showing restraint or respect, he chose to repost Jesse Watters’ tribute to Kirk, calling him a patriot, and added his own “literary flourish”: “he advocated stoning gays to death, just sayin’.” The problem? It wasn’t true. Not only was it a baseless smear, it was an outright distortion of Kirk’s actual words.

Distortion, Not Discourse

Charlie Kirk did not advocate for violence against anyone. In fact, his comment referencing Leviticus was used as an example of how cherry-picking biblical passages can justify nearly anything. Stephen King’s version twisted this into a grotesque attack, portraying Kirk as something he was not.

And when the backlash came, King issued what he called an apology: “I apologize for saying Charlie Kirk advocated stoning gays. What he actually demonstrated was how some people cherry-pick Biblical passages.” But this was not remorse. It was deflection. Rather than acknowledging the damage of his words, King tried to save face, as if the falsehood was a harmless slip instead of a libel against a man who could no longer defend himself.

Cruelty Masquerading as Tolerance

This episode illustrates what conservatives have seen for years: the Left preaches “tolerance” while practicing cruelty. King’s comment was not an honest mistake. It was part of a pattern. For too long, leftist elites have operated on the belief that if you dissent from their orthodoxy, you don’t deserve respect you deserve to be mocked, dehumanized, and destroyed.

When conservatives push back, we’re told to “compromise” and “keep the discourse civil.” Meanwhile, leftist mobs dox families, destroy careers, and excuse rioting in America’s cities. The rules are not applied equally, and King’s smear of Kirk timed while his widow and child mourn shows just how low the cultural gatekeepers will sink.

What Comes Next

Stephen King should step back from politics and return to fiction where at least his stories are marketed as make-believe. Perhaps he can draft another played-out novel about a down-on-his-luck alcoholic who turns out to be special, or maybe a bizarre fantasy about gender confused talking animals in a ghost town. Whatever he chooses, his political commentary adds nothing to public discourse but venom and distortion.

Conservatives, meanwhile, cannot afford to shrug this off. Smearing the dead is evil. Using those smears to diminish their life’s work is worse. Our duty is clear: confront lies, defend truth, and refuse to let the cultural bullies rewrite reality. Only when the rot of leftist extremism is exposed and rejected can America return to real debate, real respect, and real freedom.
