Earlier this week, infamous leftist and horror author Stephen King unleashed a vile, baseless smear against Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk in the wake of his shocking assassination.
After the horrific news broke of Charlie Kirk’s execution-style assassination, allegedly at the hands of a deranged leftist radical, King fired off his tweet like a deranged clown from one of his own bad novels: “He advocated stoning gays to death. Just sayin’.”
No fact-check. No context. Just pure, unadulterated libel designed to demonize a man who dedicated his life to fighting the woke mob and defending Christian values.
The backlash was swift and savage. Senator Ted Cruz slammed King as a “horrible, evil, twisted liar.”
King later took down the tweet and apologized.
On Sunday, prior to the Memorial for Charlie Kirk in Washington DC, Jim Hoft joined Steve Bannon on The War Room to set the record straight on Charlie Kirk’s stand on gays in the conservative movement.
Jim Hoft: It’s such a sad time. I was looking through my text messages today from Charlie, and something popped out to me. This was a couple of years ago. He was at his events, and he would be attacked by some fringe group, and they’d be crude, and they’d like to ask him about gays and gay rights and gay sex acts and put him on the spot. They thought that that would be a good way to take Charlie Kirk down.
Charlie, he could have folded. He could have said, I don’t want to be around gays… There’s people who might do something like that. Charlie held his ground and he took them on. I actually sent you a message then that he sent me, and it included a tweet. And it includes the video of Charlie responding to one of these guys. And, I was thinking to myself, Charlie didn’t have to do that. I don’t talk about my sexuality. I run Gateway Pundit. It’s one of the most powerful, conservative websites in the country, in world. And I don’t talk about who I am as a person and who I am, my partner or anything.
Charlie knew this, and he sent this tweet to me. And I just thought, what a kind moment. And that’s who Charlie was.
So when I hear someone like Stephen King, that asshole, talk about how Charlie wanted to kill gays and have them stoned, it’s not just that what the media is saying is not true, because it’s not true. These are lies about Charlie, just like there are lies about you and lies about me all the time.
It’s not just that it’s not true, but it’s the exact opposite. Charlie stood up for gays. I think that’s very important that people understand that. I think that’s very important that the gay community understands that. I think it’s important that the critical mass that is waking up in America understands that.
Charlie was not someone out there who is spitting on gays or any other group. Charlie was welcoming. He started so many groups. He filled the White House with some black Conservatives for one event… He wasn’t afraid to say that he supported gays. It was very moving to me. That’s who Charlie Kirk was.
I saw that today. It got me teared up a little bit because he was a truly great man, and we’re going to miss him. So thank you for having me on today. Really, a moving event, and I’ll miss Charlie.
Hoft went on to discuss new developments on the investigation into Charlie’s murder.
