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.

JK apologized AFTER being completely exposed as a reactionary and a Trump hater. Twitter was brutal on her.

I thought that was Voldemort.

The problem is in Rowland’s fantasy world, she really doesn’t have any place for a gospel figure. It’s one netherworld character versus another one.

Gut the inhuman slut like a trout. J.K. Rowling is a rancid piece of meat with holes.

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.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Exactly, yet another way Hollywood would try to open doorways to the demonic against us and our children.

Soooo, not being a North Korean, do you refrain from commenting on Lil’ Kim? How about Merkle?

She can talk all she wants, I, for one, am not listening.

Have never read any of her books nor seen any of the movies. Plan to keep it that way.

It’s being the world, and what does the bible tell us to expect from the world?

Riiiiiiiight. Actually, being obvious about it, Hollywood might be less of a danger to us than more prosaic vehicles of dumbing down the gospel.

If doing it, one ought to do it with the kind of mind that studies the mind of the enemy.

A lot of it is tedious and boring formula after a while, but it works because people are intrigued with the supernatural.

God can always outdo anything the devil pretends to doing, however. The problem with humanity, and even with a lot of churches both “establishment” and informal, is that they’re suppressing the truth (that God is amazing, not just decent, not just okay) in unrighteousness. But when the devil does something cute, that’s presented in all its uncensored spectacle. Well how do you expect a dumbed down God vision to compete with that?

I like the bible so much because it doesn’t crank the contrast control down. Nope. Full righteousness, full wickedness, are both on display, with the former ultimately prevailing.

Progressive... as in progressing towards the edge of a cliff below which a voracious hell lurks.

And ya know... I believe we have a Christianity vacuum to thank for a lot of this. Post-Christian woes are starker than legacy pre-Christian world woes, because they represent falling from a greater height.

Harry Potter and the like are filling what ought to be a Christ hunger in our heart. Hey, at least Potter is doing something with some notable consequences.

Never used to happen twenty years ago.
