J.K. Rowling Apologizes for Spreading Fake News Smear About Trump and Disabled Boy
breitbart ^ | JEROME HUDSON

Posted on 08/01/2017 5:13:59 AM PDT by davikkm

Author J.K. Rowling issued an apology Monday after falsely accusing President Donald Trump of refusing to shake hands with a disabled boy by sharing an edited video clip on her social media account over the weekend. The boy’s mother lashed out at Rowling, saying that the Harry Potter scribe wrongly said Trump ignored and refused to shake her disabled son’s hand during a recent meet-and-greet.

“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,” Ms. Kelly Weer wrote in a post on Facebook, slamming Rowling’s inaccurate description of a video showing her son meeting President Trump.

“1. He’s 3 and hand shaking is not his thing 2. he was showing off his newly acquired secret service patch). Thanks,” Weer wrote.

Rowling, a regular critic of the president, blasted Trump and claimed he “deliberately” ignored the boy, Monty Weer, who suffers from spina bifida.

In other news, JK has joined Rosie as official examples of “Trump Derangement Syndrome”. A severe mental disease that effects weak-minded, left-wing simpletons.

Paul Joseph Watson:

JK Rowling is a Vile Piece of Sh*t

Language, as if the title didn't give it away.

'“Trump imitated a disabled reporter. Now he pretends not to see a child in a wheelchair, as though frightened he might catch his condition,” she tweeted over the weekend.'

Ugliness (like beauty) is in the eye of the beholder.

“as though frightened he might catch his condition,”

Rowling’s should be more afraid of giving others her condition.

The bizarre obsession Brits have with our president is beyond me. From right-wing Melanie Philips to Rowling to an idiot cook named Nigel Slater, you would think Mr. Trump is going to take away everything from their scones to their healthcare system.

Try imagining an American obsessing over Theresa May.

It’s disrespect for a human being whether he’s President or not.

I’d opine that getting involved with the Cult of Potter is unwise anyhow. No matter whether or not J. K. Rowling acted like a public jerk towards Donald Trump.

I’m not sure why anybody pays attention to J.K. Rowling anyway. She’s a British subject, her opinion of President Trump has about as much relevance as, say, Steven King’s views on British Prime Minister May. Not to mention she has a long history of Anti-American comments and bias, she fought hard against the Harry Potter movies having American stars or being filmed in America referring to American culture as “imperialist garbage”.

And Potter is really an anti-gospel message. It’s about trying to be self satisfied in “spells” without God. And there are some pretty weird characters and occurrences that look like hell flaunting itself, not heavenly.

That said, we could really stand to seriously take the lid off of gospel. We’re spoiled. We think gospel is just some decent plain vanilla life on earth, and some established church followings are apparently very much into that kind of vision. Nope. Gospel ought to be like the Fourth of July — fireworks all over the place. Some with sparklers, some with Roman candles, some with burst-in-the-sky shells, but all fireworks.
