Stephen King has wasted absolutely no time getting his jabs in on the Republican Party after it astonishingly failed to cement a new speaker of the house.
The “red wave” many conservative commentators had predicted during the 2022 midterms ending up being a bit more of a red puddle, although the Republicans managed to gain traction in the House of Representatives with a net gain of nine seats. The gain would feel like reason enough for the party to feel united, but the election for house speaker as resulted in hilarity and a 100 year first.
For the first time since 1923, the bid to elect a house speaker has gone through multiple ballots as Kevin McCarthy failed to garner enough support to secure his spot as speaker. CNN saw it as a microcosm of the divides within the House Republicans, but horror writer King saw it with much more humor dubbing the GOP as fighting like “a pack of wolverines in a henhouse.”
King has been arguably the most vocal critic of the Republican Party in all of the land, with the writer never afraid to show his disdain for conservative and right-wing beliefs. The lifelong Democrat voter has made quite the habit out of commentary on the midterms as well, with him finding much joy in their struggle.
It does make a slight change from one of King’s other favorite hobbies of making fun of Chief Twit Elon Musk and his increasingly bad looking decision to purchase Twitter for $44 billion. $44 billion spent seemingly so he can get humiliated at every turn.
