Tucker Carlson Roasts “Brainless” Stephen King for Endorsing Hunter Biden’s Book

In the latest episode of Tucker Carlson’s massively popular new show “Tucker on Twitter” released Tuesday, Carlson roasts fellow Maine resident Stephen King for writing a glowing review of Hunter Biden’s memoir.

Carlson’s newest episode centers around President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, and how he has used his last name to peddle his uninspired art and writing in exchange for money, and made foreign business deals while allegedly kicking money back to his father.

Hunter Biden was approached by publisher Simon & Schuster in 2021 — and according to Carlson, paid millions of dollars — to write “Beautiful Things,” a book telling the story of his childhood trauma and addiction.

Here’s what Carlson had to say to about Stephen King in the fifth episode of his new show:

“Meanwhile, once his father did become president, corporate publisher Simon & Schuster lined up as well to pay Hunter Biden’s bills.

According to news reports, Simon & Schuster gave Hunter Biden millions of dollars for his highly-selective account of his wholly-unaccomplished life.

And then the publisher lined up brainless celebrity endorsers like Dave Eggers, and Stephen King to promote it.

King, who apparently will say anything if it helps the party, called Hunter Biden’s silly manuscript a ‘harrowing and compulsively readable memoir,’ and then Stephen King described Hunter Biden himself as ‘beautiful.'”

Ep. 5 of “Tucker on Twitter”

Carlson and King both currently reside in Maine.

Carlson has vacationed since his childhood at Bryant Pond in Woodstock, Maine, a town with a population of less than 1,400 people and where his family has owned a home for more than 40 years.

Now, Carlson is using his property near Bryant Pond to build a studio, from which he has been broadcasting his new show, Tucker on Twitter, to much success.

Stephen King was born in Portland, Maine, and now splits his time between summer homes in Bangor and Lovell, Maine, and a winter home in Sarasota, Florida.

King, who himself has struggled with alcohol and drug abuse, wrote in his review of Biden’s memoir that “Hunter Biden proves again that anybody—even the son of a United States president—can take a ride on the pink horse down nightmare alley.”

“Biden remembers it all and tells it all with a bravery that is both heartbreaking and quite gorgeous. He starts with a question: Where’s Hunter? The answer is he’s in this book, the good, the bad, and the beautiful,” King said about the President’s son.

For curious readers who would like to see examples of Hunter Biden’s bravery firsthand, and of “the good, the bad, and the beautiful,” as King describes it, there are websites that have archived the contents of his laptop, replete with photos of illegal drugs, prostitutes, and explicit photos of his sister-in-law Hallie Biden, the widow of his deceased brother Beau Biden.

    Tucket Carlson is a NIMBY POS and no friend of the working people Maine. Remember the CMP corridor, and the BS that he put out and when proven wrong, no retraction or apology. Screw Him. However even a broken clock is right twice a day. The “great” Stephan King is the Moonbat’s Moonbat. He’s let $ and fame go to his head thinking he is special and oh so much smarter than the rest of us. Screw Him X2

    I used to like Stephen King’s books…until he came out with Misery. And that is what it was…a misery to read. Predictable, boring and so on. I wanted to throw out the window, but I was on flight and that would not good…though a more interesting plot than that book. So I stopped reading King for awhile and later gave him another chance. By god, I swear is just recycling his stories and he gets away with it because he is Stephen King. Now he has become a social and political commentator and like Misery…his comments are just misery to listen to.
