J.K. Rowling Called Out For Lying About U.S. President Donald Trump Ignoring Disabled Child…
Yesterday a notorious political personality and author, J.K. Rowling, made the ridiculous claim that President Trump ignored a disabled boy during a speech to advocate for the repeal and replacement of ObamaCare.
Rowling’s claim is a demonstrable lie, yet she refuses to retract. She is being called out by many in the U.K. and U.S.

Ah, J.K. Rowling, the prize-wininng author who doesn't even write good insults.

I saw the Twitter comment chain on that a couple of days ago. Every 10th comment was someone pointing out it was false, with several people posting the more complete video showing the claim was false. As of yesterday AM she had neither deleted her Tweet nor acknowledged she was wrong.
Not impressed. Even were she utterly out of touch with technology in some isolated place, her publisher and folks should have been scrambling to find her.

Well, her Twitter thread (https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/890996376980660226) is still there as of this moment. Some time yesterday the people calling out the deception Rowling bit on and Tweeted became the majority of comments. No comment yet from Rowling, as of the time I'm posting this.

:banghead: Piers Morgan and even FNN's Brian Stelter have taken to Twitter to call on Rowling to apologize and delete her Twit. :banghead: When you've lost FNN ... :banghead:

How stunning that you haven't taken these tweets down yet. The guy you linked to did once he knew the truth. Why haven't you?

Trump DID see the kid, and paid attention to him FIRST. Glad to see Melania did as well.

Look, I'm not a fan. But this time the attack is off base. He bent down and greeted the little boy. Time to move on to Trump's real issues.

What a prideful chicken-(bleep!)! (http://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2017/07/31/j-k-rowling-finally-apologizes-for-bogus-trump-tweets-after-pants-set-on-fire-by-punditfact/). She apologized to the boy and his family. Not - apparently - to her Twitter-followers, and not to the man she slandered. A Brit-slang pun on Twitter comes to mind, but I'll not go beyond this sentence on that point.

I wonder if she's been taking lessons from Piers Morgan on how to be British and insert her foreign opinion in matters that don't concern her.
At least Morgan lived here while he brayed away his political views on any medium that would broadcast them.
Rowling is but another rich leftist who fervently believes in globalism. I gather that communist writer Jessica Mitford was a "heroine" of Rowling's. I will give her due props for her philanthropic efforts, uncharacteristic for most leftists.

Piers Morgan and CNN's Brian Stelter were among the media people who called out Rowling and called for her to delete her string of Tweets on the edited video (which she very eventually did) and apologize (which she quarter-assed did - no apology to the man she slandered or to her followers who thought she knew what she was talking about).
Between leaving her Tweets hanging out for ridicule for something like 3 days and her quarter-assed "apology" it would seem that the wisdom of admitting one was wrong very simply and completely, eating any necessary dish crow and moving on is unfamiliar to her. Her quarter-assed "apology" actually leaves her looking nastier than ever.

Yep, I've noted that Morgan has actually stated some surprising opinions of late on various issues. Called out Meryl Streep, another worthless celebrity-activist, as a "crashing bore", IIRC.

Harry Potter Author J.K Rowling Apologizes For Falsely Accusing Trump Of Ignoring A Little Boy
Nearly a week later…
Via Daily Caller:
J.K. Rowling has apologized “unreservedly” after receiving criticism for mischaracterizing Donald Trump’s interaction with a disabled boy in a series of tweets last week.
The “Harry Potter” author called Trump a “monster of narcissism” and claimed he deliberately ignored a young boy in a wheelchair as he met with “victims of Obamacare” ahead of a press conference on July 24.
Rowling fired off the series of tweets after seeing an edited clip of the encounter but, had she watched the full clip, she would have seen the president greet the three-year-old boy named Monty.

Rowling has not apologized to Trump for slandering him, nor to her followers for her abuse of their respect, gullibility, and prideful slowness to admit having been wrong.
