Recently, a train carrying Republican members of Congress
and their families to a retreat collided with a garbage truck, tragically
killing one person and injuring several others. This prompted left-wing horror
novel author Stephen King to tweet out: “A trainload of Republicans on their
way to a pricey retreat hit a garbage truck. My friend Russ calls that Karma.”
After
apparently being informed that the driver of the truck died in the accident,
and taking some heat for his vile remark, he summoned the decency to
characterize his tweet as “rather thoughtless.” You mean as in, “rather dead,”
scumbag? Referring to the original tweet again he tweeted, “…for which I
apologize (if one is necessary).” If one is necessary?! He also noted that the
“Republican politicians, who can be heartless when they vote, immediately got
out to help.”
At that
point, he’s opining that Republicans can be heartless??!!
Mr.
King wrote the book On Writing.
Literally. It’s hard to believe he’d use others’ Misery as an opportunity to compose snarky political commentary.
Maybe it was just The Dark Half of
his personality coming out.
I saw
screen shots of both tweets. His original “karma” tweet had 22,472 likes,
almost twice as many as his fake “apology.”
That is truly horrifying.
