Stephen King Quotes Elizabeth Warren’s Callous 'But Trump!' Reaction to Charlie Kirk’s Murder

As we reported on Wednesday, reporters caught up to Sen. Elizabeth Warren. They asked her if she had anything to say about the assassination of Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk at a campus event. She said her heart went out to Kirk's family and friends … and then there was a "but." She did fine for seven seconds, and then launched into a four-and-a-half-minute-long tirade about how every state should have Massachusetts' gun control laws and that President Donald Trump started it all with his irresponsible rhetoric.

Writer Stephen King, who said that Kirk's killer's motivation wasn't clear, and this was just another example of American gun violence, seemed to find Warren's callous answer inspiring, quoting her in a post.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Yes, Trump's memes were the cause of Kirk's death.

Stephen, you’re still playing court jester for the party that cheers when conservatives get shot. Spare us the pearl-clutching over Trump’s “ugly words.” Your side pushes ugly violence while hiding behind memes.

"No, you!"

So to be clear, Warren thinks Dem rhetoric is fine as indicated with her "oh please" comment.

You don’t see us going around assassinating people in broad daylight! A meme is just a meme - your weirdos act out YOUR words, not us. Sit down and shut up. You have taken one of our voices and you will not get another one. We are awake and assembled.

You just can’t help yourself, can you?

His attempted assassination wasn't enough to silence him. Does that anger you, Steve? 🤔

You're posting that because what she said is obviously ridiculous right?

If only that were the case. Do these people hear the violent rhetoric coming from their own side? Are they in that much of a bubble? The New Republic called Kirk a MAGA troll in its headline about his shooting, and Jezebel paid a witch on Etsy to put a curse on the "far-right misogynist."
