It’s half-expected that during tragic news stories, some far-left kook is going to make a regrettable statement within hours then have to retract it once they realize the severity of the situation.
But this moron had a full 24 hours to get up to speed on what happened and he STILL made an asinine comment.
Who are we referring to? None other than famed horror novelist, Stephen King.
King, after numerous reports had already detailed that a train crash involving Republican congressman had resulted in the death of a truck driver with whom it collided, still took the time to make a ‘karma’ joke about the tragic incident.
“A trainload of Republicans on their way to a pricey retreat hit a garbage truck,” King wrote on Twitter. “My friend Russ calls that karma.”

Well, your friend Russ isn’t the brightest crayon in the box, and apparently neither are you.
In addition to the fatality, another individual involved in the train crash was critically injured, and Rep. Jason Lewis of Minnesota was hospitalized with a concussion.
NEW: Spokeswoman for the Congressional Institute, which is sponsoring the retreat, confirms the following to @NBCNews:
– 1 fatality
– 1 critically injured
– 1 member sent to the hospital
– 1 member & 1 staffer being examined
– First aid being offered on train— Marianna Sotomayor (@MariannaNBCNews) January 31, 2018
Surprisingly, the “It” author’s ‘hey those Republicans deserved it’ message didn’t resonate all too well with people.
There was a fatality in that wreck. But, yeah, laugh it up.

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.

The lack of empathy for what happened in this train crash is somewhat shocking, considering King was once hit by a vehicle in 1999, resulting in substantial injuries.
How would he have felt had somebody said it was just ‘karma’ for a horror writer to experience such horror?
Remember, this is the same man who said President Trump tweeting a comical GIF of Hillary Clinton being hit by a golf ball was a sign of some serious mental issues.
Trump thinks hitting a woman with a golf ball and knocking her down is funny. Myself, I think it indicates a severely fucked-up mind.

Guess the truth has come out about who really has the screwed up mind. Which is, in a way, karma.
