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.

Gets boring and tiring seeing all these news journalists, authors, Hollywood etc. with their names headlining one another for human consumption.

As I understand it, she was gaming the system. She took a job as a secretary where her employer paid her just enough so she could receive her "benefits". Gad, how I hate that word.

So, she very well could have worked and provided for herself but she chose not to.

Rowling writes also wrote one adult mystery, maybe more by now. It was BORING, badly written, under another name (Galbraith or something like it), and critics laughed at it. After it flopped, it was revealed it was by her, and sales went up.

Piers used to be a left wing nimrod when he was in the US. Now that he’s in UK, he is a right winger?

Gadzooks! That is all I need to know about the fate of the UK!

She was the one who seized the lead, admonishing all British who could to TAKE IN REFUGEES.

She owns 4 palatial homes, yet how many has SHE taken in?

ZERO.

STILL.

Rowling is a gatekeeper for the occult, and provides an entry point for the young, naive, and gullible into the demonic.

The day Rowling said Dumbledore was gay was the day I quit being a HP fan.

Then Chelsea Clinton jumped in and retweeted the same lie. After Piers Morgan called her on it, she deleted the retweet and posted an "apology" complaining he should have shaken the boy's hand anyway.

Chelsea Clinton Caught Spreading Fake News!
