X piled on Stephen King after he incorrectly suggested slain right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk advocated for gay people to be stoned to death, citing scripture.
Amid the online controversy, including an attack from Texas Senator Ted Cruz, King deleted the post, stating, among several subsequent updates apologizing for the incorrect information, “I apologize for saying Charlie Kirk advocated stoning gays. What he actually demonstrated was how some people cherry-pick Biblical passages.”
