Bestselling author Stephen King is calling out Republican lawmakers for focusing on attacking President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden instead of taking action to stop the mass recurring shootings across the nation.
“It might be time to stop talking about Hunter Biden’s laptop and do something about America’s problem with gun violence,” King tweeted after another week marked by horrific gun violence. He then took on two GOP lawmakers specifically, starting with conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, of Georgia.
Greene last year implied that a series of mass shootings could have been staged by the Biden administration.
“It almost sounds like it’s designed to persuade Republicans to go along with more gun control,” the extremist lawmaker said at the time.
King also responded to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) who earlier this week posed for a photo holding a T-shirt calling an AR-15-style gun a “cordless hole puncher” one day after that same type of weapon was used to kill five people in Texas, including a child.
The US has seen 192 mass shootings so far in 2023, according to Gun Violence Archive.
