So not only is Stephen King hoping that Graham Platner does not drop out of the race, he’s now engaging in further rape apologia.
King is misusing “let him without sin cast the first stone,” a passage from John 8.
That passage is about stopping hypocritical, punitive mob judgment.
It is not about using scripture to shield powerful men from accountability for sexual violence.
“Everyone has sinned” is not an appropriate political argument, especially if the sin in question is rape.
Really disgusting and unacceptable stuff here.
