Stephen King has unloaded on the Republican presidential field on Twitter — the horror master’s latest dive into savvy GOP bashing.
This tweet takes on the nightmare that is the current field of right-wing senators Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul.
Cruz, Paul and Rubio, all running for President. Hey, I thought I was supposed to write the horror stories.

In recent weeks, King has jumped into the debate over Indiana’s religious freedom bill:
Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration act is gay discrimination, pure and simple. You can frost a dog turd, but it's still a dog turd.

And he has argued with Maine’s tea party Gov. Paul LePage:
Governor Paul LePage implied that I don't pay my taxes. I do. Every cent. I think he needs to man up and apologize.

No apology from Governor LePage. Some guys are a lot better at dishing it out than taking it back.

King might be famous for door-stopping scary novels, but we think he’s pretty great with 140 characters too.
