Famed author Stephen King recently appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, and he revealed that he was blocked on Twitter by United States President Donald Trump. You can check out a video of his appearance on the show below.

King told Colbert during the show about President Trump, “I might’ve said he had his head somewhere where a certain yoga position would be necessary to get it there. And that was it, man.” Apparently, King was blocked by Trump on Twitter as a result.

The New York Times reports that according to a federal judge ruling, Trump or an aide blocking plaintiffs from viewing his posts on Twitter were a violation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, since President Trump’s Twitter account represents a type of public forum.

King added on Vice President Mike Pence, who he found to have a “creepy” look, “I think it has something to do with the hair. The hair doesn’t look like it has strands, it’s just there.” He continued, “He’s like the mean doctor on a soap opera, the one who sells drugs, you know, or has a prostitution ring from Bulgaria or something. He has that look.”
