Horror writer Stephen King appears to be quitting Twitter after Donald Trump won the U.S. presidency.
King had been open in his contempt for Trump in the leadup to the election. He slammed Trump in tweet after tweet on his official Twitter account, calling him a “sexist oinker, tax dodger, draft dodger, pal of Putin, racist, serial liar,” among other things. King said any fans planning to vote for Trump should be ashamed.
Once it was clear that Trump had indeed won, King said he was taking a break from Twitter. “No more book recommendations, politics or amusing dog pictures for the immediate future,” he said in a tweet. “I’m shutting down.”
He left one last tweet before he went: “If you break it, you own it.”
