Stay classy! Stephen King SLAMMED for 'disgusting' tweet about deadly crash of train carrying GOPers

Yesterday accident involving a train carrying members of the GOP and their families to a retreat in West Virginia brought out a parade of lefty hate and vile comments.

Author Stephen King waited until today to add his deranged take to the pile of disgusting comments:

A trainload of Republicans on their way to a pricey retreat hit a garbage truck. My friend Russ calls that karma.

But remember, the Left are the truly compassionate ones!

One young man was killed, six injured.

Karma for who, the innocent truck driver who died, or his coworker in critical condition? https://t.co/ZEVGJ6LdLF

It resulted in a fatality…one of the occupants of the truck. What’s wrong with you? https://t.co/d6DhjW45hZ

There was a fatality in that wreck. But, yeah, laugh it up.

Update: After getting hammered for his tweet, King said this:

Of COURSE sorry the truck driver died.

— Stephen King (@StephenKing) February 1, 2018

I prayed fervently for you when a van almost took your life. Your apology here is insincere.

Been a fan since '70s. Own 1st Eds of every book you've written.

But that support stops today. Your behavior w/tragedies involving "political opposition" lately is too disheartening. https://t.co/kaGt6OWU4H

Then apologize for your extremely disturbing and callous tweet and delete it. https://t.co/bQriz1cMqG

Update II: King tried again:

A rather thoughtless tweet from me concerning the train-truck crash, for which I apologize (if one is necessary). It should be pointed out, too, that those Republican politicians, who can be heartless when they vote, immediately got out to help.

That certainly took a while.
