Quote:

Stephen King has apologized after falsely claiming in a social media post that Charlie Kirk had “advocated stoning gays to death.”

Kirk, 31, was shot dead on Wednesday during his ‘American Comeback Tour’ at Utah Valley University. A suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was arrested last night.

On X/Twitter, horror author King had responded to a post by Fox News host Jesse Watters that claimed that Kirk was not “controversial” or “polarizing.”

King wrote: “He advocated stoning gays to death. Just sayin’,” in a since-deleted post.

After several social media users posted evidence of Kirk speaking in support of LGBT rights, King took down his original tweet and wrote: “I apologize for saying Charlie Kirk advocated stoning gays. What he actually demonstrated was how some people cherry-pick Biblical passages.”

Senator Ted Cruz then got involved, calling King a “horrible, evil, twisted liar.”

King responded: “The horrible, evil, twisted liar apologizes. This is what I get for reading something on Twitter w/o fact-checking. Won’t happen again.”

King also replied to several other posts criticizing him, writing: “I have apologized,” “I have apologized. Charlie Kirk never advocated stoning gays to death,” and “I was wrong, and I apologize. I have deleted the post.”




Don't blame it just on Twitter, Stephen. I'm sure it actually came from BlueSky or Reddit anyhow. And I'm sure it's something that Ted's clickbait has claimed that Kirk said. I'm sure there is even video of him saying it that's been making the rounds.

What do I keep telling everyone about taking out-of-context sound bytes seriously?

Kirk has been making videos since he was 18 years old, and he was assassinated 13 years later. It is possible that there are tens of thousands of hours of him speaking in video format after all of these years, and all anybody raging out on the Left can quote to justify the Evil action they're in full support of amounts to less than a single minute of video footage combined.

Anyone who allows themselves to be emotionally manipulated into any sort of vile action or further boosting the signal of evil, with nothing but a 5 second sound byte or an article headline or a political cartoon, without bothering to read up on the issue and read articles from BOTH perspectives, doesn't have any reason to be online and voicing their opinions anymore.
