Stephen King Perfectly Summed Up The First Debate In A Brutal Tweet—And Twitter Couldn't Agree More
Author Stephen King has not been shy in the past about calling out President Donald Trump's behavior.
After watching Tuesday's Presidential debate spiral into a combative instead of productive back and forth, King summed up the hot-tempered debate in one concise statement.
You've got a decent man vs. a hulking, loudmouth bully with no specific plans on anything.
— Stephen King (@StephenKing) September 30, 2020
During the debate Trump was point blank asked to denounce White supremacists and other right wing militias.
He refused.
Instead, Trump name dropped a far-right extremist organization called "The Proud Boys" who encourage politically motivated violence. Trump told them to "stand by."
It would be unbelievable except, you can watch the video for yourself below.
Social media agreed with Stephen King's brutally honest review.
Some users thought the debate was just as scary as any horror novel the beloved author has written.
I read all your books because I like to be Good Scares.
This debate is way more scary, bad scary

He really is a bully. This type of behavior is intolerable. It wouldn't stand in a classroom, business, our Maine legislature, and it shouldn't be tolerated in our democracy. I can't wait to vote!

Very well put. We would never tolerate this behavior anywhere. People make so many excuses for him and we wouldn't normally do that.
Why do people tolerate this?

Mr. King I must say: you're wrong. He probably has planned to tweet how unfairly he has been treated, how quickly to run away every time he gets asked by his taxes, and to play at least 18 holes this week a

He does not answer what they ask him, he is good for nothing, ignorant, respectful and uneducated, he has no idea of climate change, he is a troglodyte

The problem is that America loves bullying. Case in point: Capitalism

Tump in full bully mode, running over moderator and Biden at almost every opportunity. Does this act win votes?
— Dan Rather (@DanRather) September 30, 2020
And he's shifting the subject of the questions he's being asked and blaming The Democrats. That's not an answer that's dodging the truth

Over the years King has developed a few descriptive terms for the current President including:
“Blabbermouth Don"
"a vile, racist, and incompetent bag of guts and waters"
"trash fire."
The interruptions and bullying from Trump continued after moderator Chris Wallace asked him to stop until Biden finally said "Will you shut up man."
King's followers were not the only ones backing up his summation.
Mary Trump, an American psychologist and Donald Trump's niece echoed the same feelings as the author's supporters over the debate.
The media need to stop giving Donald the benefit of the doubt. His debate performance was a grotesque combination of lies, racism, breathtaking callousness, and threats against our democracy.#Resist #VOTE #BidenHarris2020

Interrupting Vice President Biden's comments about his son Beau to pivot to lies about Hunter Biden should alone totally disqualify Donald. What a disgrace. What a traitor.

It was honestly horrifying. Everyone who supports this man should be ashamed.

I have NEVER seen anyone more unqualified to be president of the United States. He isn't even qualified to be a member of the human race.
— Kim Nash (@Montaname1) September 30, 2020
As an American, I'm seriously embarrassed right now. 😬

When watching the debates remember the importance of fact checking and being aware of the empty and dog-whistling rhetoric.
