JK Rowling Falsely Claims Trump Avoided Wheelchair-Bound Boy [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | July 29, 2017 | Amber Athey

Posted on 07/29/2017 1:35:11 PM PDT by EdnaMode

Fiction author JK Rowling claimed on Twitter that President Donald Trump avoided a wheelchair-bound boy, but unedited video proves that he did shake the boy’s hand.

Trump met with a group of “victims of Obamacare” on June 24 shortly before giving a press conference about health care reform. The victims stood on the stage behind Trump as he gave his speech.

According to the “Harry Potter” author and a conveniently edited video, as Trump was taking the stage he avoided shaking the hand of a young boy in a wheelchair.

Rowling went on a Twitter rant about the “stunning moment,” claiming Trump avoided the child “as though frightened he might catch his condition.”

However, unedited video shows Trump actually greeted the boy first and bent down to his eye level and shook his hand. In fact, the original video Rowling referenced is now deleted on Twitter.

"Just Kidding" Rowling lied to her followers and hasn't deleted her tweets. Her millions of followers probably believed her.

Valdemort should have done Harry Potter in. She needs to correct her error

Isolate Rowlings and label her a liar using this info as proof.

All these writers think they can lie with impunity. Broadcast this lie far and wide. Repeat - repeat - repeat. That is exactly what they do to our side even when it is fabricated news.

Who cares if Trump did or didn’t?

I didn’t elect him to run around shaking hands with people.

Tell her there was a war to get away from her Country so mind her own business.

That would require Harry to actually sacrifice something. If you notice Harry did very little of the work and if it wasn’t for his friends would have died in the first movie because he is a worthless turd.

Well, she does write fantasy.

On the other hand, she’s a Brit. What business is it of hers?

Trump haters would rather believe 1000 lies about Trump than dig a little and find the truth.

“If you notice Harry did very little of the work and if it wasn’t for his friends would have died in the first movie because he is a worthless turd.”

Thank goodness someone FINALLY said this! I thought I was the only one in the world who hadn’t been obsessed with those books, and only saw the first movie (took a Nephew who wanted to see it) and never went back to see any of the others. :)

Yep, Harry Potter by all indications was a very mediocre magician.

Rowling loves disabled kids—It was truly inspiring the way she denounced the British government and courts for their indifference toward Charlie Gard and his parents.

Oh, wait . . .

I was a school librarian and had to read the books as part of my job. They were not actually very good.

Did you ever read her first or second adult books?
BAD, Particularly the first one.

Here hatred for conservatives drips through the pages.
