Stephen King hits back at critic over Trump shooting comment
The "Salem's Lot" author, a vocal Trump critic, sparked uproar online with his response to the news of the assassination attempt.

After news of the assassination attempt broke, King took to X, formerly Twitter, to share his thoughts. The horror writer is a vocal Trump critic, regularly criticizing the 78-year-old and his politics on social media.
"An AR-15 style semiautomatic rifle was used in the Butler shooting," King wrote on Sunday. "These are the guns the Republican party—and Trump—want to protect."
The user also said, "For a fiction writer, Stephen King knows little about this subject."
King replied: "Here's what I know, as a responsible gun owner: Those people would be alive and Trump would be unwounded if all that crazy kid had access to was a butcher knife.
