Stephen King Makes A Classless Joke About Wednesday’s Fatal Train Crash

Democrats across the country refused to clap for President Trump’s unifying SOTU address, because it was too “divisive” and “contrary to our values.” I think Pelosi even described it as “dangerous.”

Those same people eagerly celebrated Wednesday’s fatal train crash. And they have the nerve to call us divisive.

Someone DIED. Nothing about that is funny.

Cue Stephen King. He’s got the jokes.

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

Mind you, he tweeted that a day later KNOWING that someone died. Stand-up guy, right?

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

And that, ladies & gents, is beautifully emblematic of the toxic speech currently in American party politics. Does that sound like a productive conversation to build a better future? Treating political opponents as ‘enemies’ gets us nowhere. Aim for truthful dialogue.

A man died, probably leave politics out of this one

What if that had been your and Russ’s close personal friend who was killed in that truck, @StephenKing? Would you still find it hilarious?https://t.co/EF9Ksq8R7H

You are scum.

Making jokes when a person dies. Sad.

What a vile sentiment from a man I respected. Wishing harm on those who don’t share your political views. I hope no-one is as crass as this when your time comes.

You’ve had a full day to learn about this crash and the victims, and you still tweet this? Maybe a bit of introspection and reflection on that “karma” thing is in order.

Don’t worry. An hour later he acknowledged that someone died. He was basically all, “Oh yeah PS RIP.”

Of COURSE sorry the truck driver died.

Classless. Totally classless. Wow.
