Piers Morgan calls JK Rowling ‘lying hypocrite’ over Trump tweets
The Scotsman ^ | July 30, 2017 | Angus Howarth

Piers Morgan has called JK Rowling “a shameless, lying hypocrite” on Twitter following the author’s tweets about US President Donald Trump’s alleged refusal to shake a disabled child’s hand. Footage emerged on social media on Friday appearing to show Mr Trump ignoring a child in a wheelchair, prompting the author to send a series of critical tweets, calling the president a “monster of narcissism”.

(TWEET-AT-LINK)

However, another clip showed Mr Trump leaning down towards the child and speaking to him, while the Monty’s mother, Marjorie Kelly Weer, took to Facebook to confirm that the president did not ignore her son. She wrote: “Uummmmm....If someone can please get a message to JK Rowling: Trump didn’t snub my son & Monty wasn’t even trying to shake his hand (1. He.s 3 and hand shaking is not his thing, 2. he was showing off his newly acquired secret service patch). Thanks.” Piers Morgan criticised Rowling for lying and neither deleting the tweets and apologising.The Harry Potter author wrote on her social media account which has more than 11 million followers about Mr Trump and her own experience.

She posted: “Trump imitated a disabled reporter. Now he pretends not to see a child in a wheelchair, as though frightened he might catch his condition. “This monster of narcissism values only himself and his pale reflections. The disabled, minorities, transgender people, the poor, women (unless related to him by ties of blood, and therefore his creations) are treated with contempt, because they do not resemble Trump.

“My mother used a wheelchair. I witnessed people uncomfortable around her disability, but if they had a shred of decency they got over it.“So, yes, that clip of Trump looking deliberately over a disabled child’s head, ignoring his outstretched hand, has touched me on the raw.“That man occupies the most powerful office in the free world and his daily outrages against civilised norms are having a corrosive effect.“How stunning, and how horrible, that Trump cannot bring himself to shake the hand of a small boy who only wanted to touch the President.”

The following day Morgan replied to Rowling telling her to “delete these lies” before calling her “a shameless, lying hypocrite”.Morgan has continued with his requests for Rowling to remove the tweets today.

Being a liberal psychopath (redundancy) means you never have to admit your wrong.

Piers Morgan is one of the good guys. More evidence that the world has been turned upside down.

What the hell is she talking about? President Trump bowed lower than Obama greeting a Saudi King in engaging that kid.

I guess it goes to show that somebody can be very good at one thing, and thoroughly stupid at another. When people become famous for some achievement, it often seems to go to their heads, making them think they’re experts on every issue.

Projection. Wish I had never watched any of the Harry Potter movies.

She’s a lower class Brit who did something unpardonable in the eyes of the upper class Brits. She produced a product that became popular & made her wealthy. In many cases far wealthier then those in the upper class. (Which makes it even more unpardonable!) So she has to spend the rest of life being ashamed of her success and more leftist then any of them. If she doesn’t the Nobs will all look down their collective noses at her and cluck their tongues at the dinner parties and such. Things that Rowling has likely spent her whole life dying to attend.

I actually don’t know her but I’ve seen this kind of behavior before. Her actions fit those I do know who did similar things.

Lady, your mind has been corroded long before President Trump took office.

“This monster of narcissism values only himself and his pale reflections.

In psychological terms, this is known as projection. Projection.

I've read stories of Rowling's demands that servants and underlings not look her in the eye or address her without first being addressed.

Dear JK Rowling;

I used to respect you, but no more.

The arrogant narcissism here is yours. You viewed a tiny clip of the whole incident and decided you knew, in its entirety, what had happened.

You were totally and completely wrong.

Your hasty attempt to jump on the anti Trump bandwagon with your lies, has demonstrated to the world that you are a narcissistic, arrogant, know-it-all A-hole.

You owe President Trump and this child both an apology.

Please, in the future, keep you fantasies confined to your books because when you do not you really make a stupid ass out of yourself.

Yet she once was on the public dole, was she not?

Piers Morgan is one of the good guys.

At least he doesn't follow the sheep, I don't agree with him on everything, especially his stance on guns, but I respect that he's not afraid to take on the Left when they deserve it.

She’e a virtue signaling hypocrite among her other qualities. A few years ago she declared the beloved head of the fictional magical school was a Homosexual. So when the millions of children read her books they can think about that.
