There aren’t many proven methods of getting under the skin of Stephen King, but being a conservative Republican and sharing your views with the world is definitely one of them.
The legendary horror author’s social media timeline is essentially a barrage of assorted miscellaneous opinions, film and television recommendations, and scathing takedowns of the right at this stage and little more, but Dan Bongino has turned out to be the master of the macabre’s latest recurring nemesis, with the two regularly firing shots back and forth across the bows.
It all started a while back when Bongino decided to tell King – one of the most successful and popular authors in the history of the written word, we should add – to “get a job,” and the barbs haven’t stopped flying ever since. The latest tactic is for the podcast host to simply tweet on a near-daily basis that Joe Biden is the worst president in history, an arguable claim seeing as there’s a certain orange-faced buffoon who can’t seem to stay out of legal trouble.
King responded in kind, and then the man dubbed “Dan Bongo” by the scribe then offered a response of his own, knowing full well he’s needled the titan of terror all over again.
Is this battle going to end at any point in the near future? Probably not, but the best course of action for King is to simply ignore Bongino in the hopes he’ll eventually go away for good, which isn’t too difficult in theory when the majority of folks outside of his target audience don’t seem to have the foggiest clue who he is other than the latest notable enemy of the globally-renowned writer.
