“No, he did not. Your party—which you shamelessly shilled for—sent $100 billion to the Ayatollah… who does routinely murder homosexuals. Why are you so dishonest & filled with hate?” Cruz said.
Former Trump advisor Sebastian Gorka was even more blunt, demanding King show proof or face the consequences.
“When? You decrepit liar. Show us when Charlie ever said that. When you can’t, publicly apologize to his widow Erika, and Charlie’s children. But you can’t, can you, because you are a soulless ghoul who believed pouring your perversions into ‘novels’ would help you. It won’t,” Gorka wrote.
Calls for Legal Action
Even lawmakers are signaling that King’s smear shouldn’t just be deleted—it should be punished. Senator Mike Lee made the case that Kirk’s family should sue.
“Please share if you agree that the estate of Charlie Kirk should sue Stephen King for defamation over this heinously false accusation He’s crossed a line It will prove costly,” Lee wrote.
The message is clear: King crossed into dangerous legal territory, and conservatives are done letting the Left get away with these slanders.
King’s Sudden Backpedal
With outrage mounting, King went into full retreat mode. He quietly deleted his original post and then issued a desperate string of apologies.
“I apologize for saying Charlie Kirk advocated stoning gays. What he actually demonstrated was how some people cherry-pick Biblical passages,” King wrote.
In another attempt at damage control, he added: “The horrible, evil, twisted liar apologizes. This is what I get for reading something on Twitter w/o fact-checking. Won’t happen again.”
Too Little, Too Late?
But many aren’t buying it. The apology reads more like a snarky half-step than real contrition. For Kirk’s supporters, King’s words crossed a sacred line. Attacking a man in death, and doing so falsely, isn’t just cruel—it could also be legally devastating.
Whether Charlie Kirk’s family pursues legal action remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Stephen King has turned himself into the villain of his own story. And this time, the horror may play out not on the page, but in a courtroom.
