Author Stephen King tried dunking on President Trump during his address at the White House on Friday, but it quickly backfired when his claim about the coronavirus response team was proven wrong.
"Note that Trump’s coronavirus team is all male, all old, and all white," King tweeted during Trump's press conference. The president was in the middle of discussing the pandemic and his declaration of a national emergency.
Behind him stood several members of his coronavirus task force, including Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Administrator Seema Verma, who is neither male nor white.
Just minutes after King's tweet, Dr. Deborah Birx took the podium. Birx, a world-renowned medical expert, was named the White House's coronavirus response coordinator.
She has worked extensively in the global fight against HIV/AIDS -- both as the State Department's U.S. global AIDS coordinator and as the U.S. special representative for global health diplomacy.

What a miserable and delusional SOB.
If the best doctor is a White male, heterosexual and Christian will you reject him?

There were two very accomplished women there, and in times of crisis the only criteria should be who is the best of the best, not gender, race, or political leaning.— HappyGoLucky (@LoriZucco2) March 13, 2020
Tweets like this just give Trump more votes.— Kevin Tanza (@KevinGregorioTF) March 14, 2020

“bizarre that is something you would think of in a public health emergency...the mindset of the Left.”
That’s standard MO.
What do you think led to the conniption fits over naming this thing?
“all male, all old, and all white.”
Just like you, huh King?
When are you going to sacrifice yourself to help diversity?
I think he dragged out the Gunslinger story too long.
Wizard and Glass should have been the wrap up to the series.
The identity politics rabbit hole that adds NOTHING of value ever, except the virtue signaling smugness of thinking one is ‘woke’.— Michele (@micheleros) March 14, 2020

Something to think about:
Does Stephen King sound like “Randel Flagg and his community in Vegas”?
He sure does!
What is it with liberals, that they can’t search for the facts before they have diarrhea of the mouth? I think they really enjoy looking dumb.
From the time I was 9, I was a King reader. I stopped when reviews of Under the Dome came in and I found out it took shots at Palin and other conservatives. This was a book he had been working on in various forms since the ‘70s, so I knew it was just cheap shots added to take a piss on anyone who didn’t agree with him who chose to read his books. He had always taken little jabs at Republicans, of course—in The Green Mile, an abusive orderly at a nursing home is noted to have a Newt Gingrich sticker on his car)—but this was the last straw for me. If you’re still able to enjoy his books, that’s cool. I hope he’s toned down the senseless attacks, unlikely as that might be.
The Green Mile, by the way, had the most muddled anti-death penalty message I’ve ever seen. The innocent man on death row uses his powers to force an evil guard to kill a guilty inmate, and the side effect is that the evil guard is rendered a vegetable. Huh? So, the death penalty is okay if a prisoner takes it upon himself to implement it and a mean guy gets his comeuppance in the process?
I guess he never had to write a research, or position paper that required sources/footnotes, while he was at the University of Maine.
He'd definitely win the role of Mr. Magoo in a remake TV series or movie.
Why can’t the genius figure out that he can easily find a country where thee are NO whites. What is he waiting for? Get the hell out of this country, King, you dull POS.
Haters will always be haters AND can’t fix stupid.
I'm more into British historical mysteries that are based in the medieval period, ie., the Templar series from Michael Jecks, the Matthew Bartholomew series from Susanna Gregory, and a few others...also mysteries based in the 18th century, along with non-fiction books on British history. Eliot Pattison writes a series called Mystery of Colonial America. Robert McCammon's Matthew Corbett series is excellent. Andrew Taylor is good, as is Lloyd Shepherd (Charles Horton series), and Phil Rickman who writes the Merrily Watkins series.
I also enjoy the modern mystery writer Stuart McBride who writes the Logan McRae series...a police mystery series that takes place in Scotland. And I'm a long-time fan of anything from American authors Doug Preston and Lincoln Child, especially their Prendergast series. I'm an avid reader. Usually have 4 books of various genres going at the same time, plus one on my Kindle that I read before going to bed. I've read the whole collection of Sherlock Holmes, and am gradually making my way through all of Dickens' books, and also trying to make my way through all of Father Brown's mysteries by G.K. Chesterton.
I haven’t found anything to read in a long time. I’ll keep your list in mind.
What a pitiful idiot......just puts ignorant stuff out there to let everyone know he’s still around....tsk,tsk
You're right - the last few stories had gotten way too gross and gory. After reading The Dark Tower series (which had started out really good and fascinating), I swore off Stephen King. Haven't read anything by him since.
