"On Wednesday, shortly after Kirk was assassinated earlier that day, Fox News' Jesse Watters tweeted, Charlie Kirk was not a controversial' or polarizing' man. Charlie was a PATRIOT. THIS is a turning point and we all need to turn in the right direction. Rest in peace, my friend. He advocated stoning gays to death. Just sayin', replied King. But Kirk never did that."
"In a widely-circulated clip from his show, Kirk, who opposed gay marriage, challenged the assertion of YouTuber Mr. Rachel that Pride celebrations were morally acceptable for Christians because the Bible instructs readers to love your neighbor. Ms. Rachel, you might wanna crack open that Bible of yours, in a lesser referenced part of the same part of scripture is in Leviticus 18 is that thou shall lay with another man, shall be stoned to death, observed Kirk,"
Shortly after Charlie Kirk's assassination, Jesse Watters praised Kirk as a patriot. Stephen King replied that Kirk "advocated stoning gays to death," then deleted the tweet. A widely circulated clip shows Kirk citing Leviticus 18 while making a point about taking Scripture out of context. Other clips show Kirk welcoming a young gay man while disagreeing with his lifestyle. Critics argued that Kirk did not call for violence against gay people. Stephen King issued an apology, saying he had mischaracterized Kirk and that Kirk's remarks demonstrated cherry-picking of Biblical passages.
