J.K. Rowling Apologizes for Spreading Fake News Smear About Trump and Disabled Boy

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.

She is sorry that she got caught and it did not go as she planned. That is what she is sorry about.

Too late biotch! No Harry Potter stuff will ever be purchased for my family with multiple kids under 10.


Here too. NOT HAPPENING. She was a lucky plotster and now revealed to be a nasty lying lefty. Which is always easy when you are richer than everyone else.

This just highlights the wall of lies Trump has had to face from DAY ONE of his announcement.

Too bad so many Republicans and conservatives had bought the lies about this good man and are now, knowingly or not, helping the criminal media/’rats to spread anti American propaganda. We know It’s propaganda because it is completely devoid of any truth.

All her foolishness plus Hermione going through a racial change to rub PC in everyone’s faces makes the Harry Potter brand going down the tubes fast. The people advising her are losing sight of the big picture

I can’t stand her or her books and movies.
I used to buy her stuff for my husband and kids because they enjoyed them. Never again.

J.K. Rowling was poor until she had an idea and wrote a book which sold millions.
The gov’t there did not help her yet she likes socialism like the British healthcare which kills 130,000 a year including children.

If she writes about that instead of a man who has done nothing to any child and who is trying to “Make America great again” she would not be invited to all the social parties as she is not a blue blood and it is only her money that allows her in that ratified society.
