Stephen King Faces Backlash Over Epstein List Comments

Stephen King ignited controversy after dismissing the existence of a Jeffrey Epstein 'client list,' likening it to the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus, which drew backlash from both his liberal followers and MAGA supporters. His comments unexpectedly aligned with the Trump administration's stance that no such list exists, fueling bipartisan frustration and suspicions of a government cover-up. The backlash against King included accusations of ulterior motives, despite no evidence linking him to Epstein. The issue has blurred traditional political divides, with even Trump supporters questioning the administration's transparency. Meanwhile, late-night host Stephen Colbert criticized Trump over alleged Epstein connections and his health, as speculation grows that media decisions may be influenced by these political controversies. The ongoing debate highlights persistent public distrust and calls for accountability in the Epstein case.
