If there’s one thing you wouldn’t expect a 75 year-old man to get involved in with any sort of regularity, it’s a social media feud, but Stephen King versus Dan Bongino is the gift that just keeps on giving.
Ever since the conservative commentator decided to open a can of worms by attacking the legendary author – who we should point out is one of the most prolific, successful, and heavily-adapted scribes there’s ever been – for failing to have a job, the barbs have been flowing thick and fast.
Coincidentally, one of King’s other favorite targets happens to be Home Alone 2 star and WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump, so it was inevitable the two should meet when Bongino decided to name Joe Biden as the worst president there’s ever been when there’s an orange-faced menace beset by legal troubles at every turn.
The maestro of macabre doesn’t have any issues with rattling Republican cages whenever the mood takes him, but Bongino has been sticking out like sore thumb on his timeline for a while now. Either way, we can expect the back-and-forth to continue given King’s itchy Twitter finger that refuses to remain holstered for too long, so maybe it’s time to grab the popcorn and see what happens next.
Maybe one day people will learn that capturing the attention of terror’s favorite titan isn’t the wisest course of action, but the entertainment value has generally proven itself to be through the roof for anyone who loves to simply sit back and watch.
