The assassination of Charlie Kirk has been making headlines for the last few days, and many people have being commenting about it. Among them, Stephen King, who has now issued multiple apologies after suggesting that conservative commentator Charlie Kirk had advocated Biblical punishment against gay people. The horror novelist first shared the claim on social media but later removed it, clarifying that Kirk had merely cited scripture without endorsing it. King acknowledged he had relied on an out-of-context remark and said he would be more careful in the future. His retraction came after strong criticism from political figures, including Senator Ted Cruz, though King's repeated apologies aimed to ease tensions.
