Democrats are in shambles. They’ve been hit with yet another controversy.
And a popular author just said the unthinkable about this Democrat scandal.
In a move that surprises few observers of celebrity politics, horror icon and vocal Trump critic Stephen King has publicly backed Graham Platner, the Democrat challenging longtime Republican Senator Susan Collins in Maine.
Platner finds himself under fire after a fresh r*pe allegation surfaced, yet King urges him to stay in the fight against Collins.
The famous author took to X to voice his support, hoping Platner would ignore pressure to withdraw from the contest.
This endorsement comes as questions swirl around Platner’s fitness for office amid the serious claims.
In his post, King added a pointed jab: “Meanwhile the Abuser in Chief just keeps on keepin’ on.”
This remark appears aimed squarely at President Donald Trump.
It highlights the selective outrage that defines much of Hollywood’s political commentary.
But King did not leave it at that. He followed up with a sweeping claim that painted the entire Congress in dark colors, stating:
“Tell you what–if you knew the whole truth about everyone in the Senate and House of Reps, those chambers would be dead empty. Jesus said, “Let him without sin cast the first stone.”
The novelist’s words suggest a moral equivalence between unproven or disputed accusations and actual accountability.
For right populists, this reeks of the establishment protecting its own while ordinary Americans face swift judgment for far less.
Platner’s campaign against Collins already faced headwinds before the latest controversy.
King’s intervention reveals the deep alliance between entertainment elites and the Democratic machine.
Celebrities like him wield cultural power to shield their preferred candidates, even when scandals threaten to derail them.
