King wasn’t impressed with Chestnut’s feat and bashed competitive eating in a series of Twitter posts.

Never have. Never will.
Not the point.
The fact is, ESPN celebrates the birthday of our country by airing a gluttonous, vomitous and grotesque event.
Eating is not a sport. Competitive eating is a sin. https://t.co/PevTsgjXju— Peter King (@peter_king) July 5, 2020
King was immediately ripped for his hot take on the hot dog eating contest.
Imagine someone actually being offended by others eating hotdogs. 2020. https://t.co/C331pDvhGd
