'Quiet, piggy': Stephen King uses Trump’s own insult against his ally Laura Loomer
WASHINGTON, DC: Writer Stephen King recently adopted President Donald Trump’s ‘quiet, piggy’ remark against right-wing activist and MAGA ally Laura Lommer.
King, who is well known for his outspoken criticism against Trump, was responding to Loomer’s call on social media to arrest Democrats who urged the military to defy illegal orders.
Stephen King's 'quiet, piggy' remark against Laura Loomer
King, on Monday, November 24, slammed Loomer, who shared the president’s all-caps Saturday night Truth Social post about “Democrat traitors” who told the military to “disobey” his orders.
Trump had suggested a group of Democrats should be punished by death after they urged US service members and the intelligence community to refuse illegal orders, before posting it.
Loomer then posted on X, “When are they getting arrested? It’s November, and nobody has been arrested for treason or sedition. We are running out of time.”
In response, King reposted Loomer’s post with the caption, “Quiet, piggy.”
King has used the remark not just against Loomer, but has used it six additional times this week, including on posts from White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and MAGA troll accounts, including Catturd and Gunther Eagleman, who were posting about Trump’s “Democrat traitors.”
Trump's controversial remarks to reporter
Trump made the alarming remarks against a Bloomberg News reporter, Catherine Lucey, aboard Air Force One, when she asked Trump about the Jeffrey Epstein files, to which he responded, “Quiet, quiet, piggy!” while pointing his finger in her direction.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to justify the insult, saying, “The president is very frank and honest with everyone in the room.”
Trump has a history of using such insults, especially against women. Miss Universe 1996 winner Alicia Machado said she was once called “Miss Piggy” by Trump, during the time he owned the beauty pageant. She also claimed that he told her to lose weight.
Trump has also described his nemesis, talk show host Rosie O’Donnell, as a “fat pig,” “slob,” and “animal.”
Stephen King's anti-MAGA stance
King is known for his anti-conservative remarks, and following the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, King posted on X, “He advocated stoning gays to death. Just sayin’.”
Kirk had cited biblical scripture that describes homosexuality as an “abomination” in June 2024.
But King later withdrew his remark in a follow-up X post. “I apologize for saying Charlie Kirk advocated stoning gays. What he actually demonstrated was how some people cherry-pick Biblical passages,” he wrote.
At the time, Fox News’ Laura Ingraham called King a “sad, bitter man” over his comments, while Texas Senator Ted Cruz called the author a “horrible, evil, twisted liar.”
