In ‘Late Show’ appearance, Stephen King says it’s time for Sen. Collins to go

In an appearance Wednesday on CBS-TV’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” Maine horror novelist Stephen King was sharply critical of U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine.

King, who has frequently assailed Republican politicians including President Trump on Twitter, told Colbert that he wanted a senator with “a little bit more of a liberal bent.”

“She claims to have a liberal bent. But really, that’s not true,” King said, clenching his fist in the air.

Colbert held up a photo of a King tweet from a few days earlier that read, “Hey-hey, ho-ho, Susan Collins has got to go.”

Good to know what the guy who wrote the novel that STARTED school shootings has to say.

The Late Show is not a news broadcast. For that matter neither is The View. Partisan political opinions expressed on those shows should be subject to equal time provisions.

Then stop your collusion to influence American elections Mr.King. One person one vote. Do as you wish.

Most school shootings come courtesy of the Derp State, not from Stephen King novels.

He’s a whore like all of his leftist pals. He not only has a sell by date, but priced to start a bidding war. They all love wars, death, blood as long as it isn’t theirs.

No, it’s time for Stephen King to go, after foisting that ridiculous CHAPTER 2 on the public.

Hubby USED to be a big fan. Last year on our vacay in Maine, we cancelled our plans to go on the Stephen King tour and let the tour owners know why.
