King originally posted on X about Kirk in the wake of his assassination: \u201cHe advocated stoning gays to death. Just sayin.’\u201d The tweet was in reaction to post by Fox News<\/a> host Jesse Watters<\/a> writing, \u201cCharlie Kirk was not a controversial or polarizing figure. Charlie was a Patriot.\u201d<\/p>\n On Friday morning, King reversed course, writing: \u201cI apologize for saying Charlie Kirk advocated stoning gays. What he actually demonstrated was how some people cherry-pick Biblical passages.\u201d And then, in reply to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz<\/a> calling the author \u201ca horrible, evil, twisted liar,\u201d King wrote, \u201cThe horrible, evil, twisted liar apologizes. This is what I get for reading something on Twitter<\/a> w\/o fact-checking. Won\u2019t happen again.\u201d King later wrote yet again: \u201cI was wrong, and I apologize.
