King originally posted on X about Kirk in the wake of his assassination: “He advocated stoning gays to death. Just sayin.’” The tweet was in reaction to post by Fox News host Jesse Watters writing, “Charlie Kirk was not a controversial or polarizing figure. Charlie was a Patriot.”
On Friday morning, King reversed course, writing: “I apologize for saying Charlie Kirk advocated stoning gays. What he actually demonstrated was how some people cherry-pick Biblical passages.” And then, in reply to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz calling the author “a horrible, evil, twisted liar,” King wrote, “The horrible, evil, twisted liar apologizes. This is what I get for reading something on Twitter w/o fact-checking. Won’t happen again.” King later wrote yet again: “I was wrong, and I apologize. I have deleted the post.
