J.K. Rowling criticizes president for not tweeting about Charlottesville, and for tweeting about it

Author J.K. Rowling is a good example of how nothing President Trump ever does will be considered the right thing by his critics. Earlier Saturday, she criticized Trump for not tweeting about white supremacists marching through Charlottesville, Va.

“Harry Potter” creator Rowling has more than 11.5 million followers, and it didn’t take long for that tweet to garner nearly a quarter-million likes and half that many retweets.

President Trump did tweet about the violent clashes in Charlottesville less than an hour later, and later in the afternoon gave a live statement at an afternoon briefing.

It turns out the president didn’t forget how to tweet, but it wasn’t quite what Rowling was looking for.

Somehow we’re not surprised Rowling didn’t care for the tweet she had criticized the president for not posting.

this lady is nuts - amazing she would have the nerve to post again after the outrageous comments she made re: the boy in the wheelchair which turned out to be completely false and even after it was obviously false she didn't take it down until it was repeatedly and widely exposed in the media as false.

Rowling should stick to writing kids stories. She’s nothing but a big mouthed ignorant arrogant self absorbed jackass elsewhere

I’ve not seen the Harry Potter movies, thinking I’d do the books someday.

F that. This woman is drowning in hatred. I don’t want to read the fruits of that imagination.

Another example of Liberalism being a mental disorder. She probably thinks Hogwarts is a real place.

Has she ever repaid the years of welfare she scammed the taxpayers there out of?

You know, I was going to binge watch the entire Potter series. I’ve only seen bits and pieces. But this lady can go to Hell.

I’m normally into fantasy / adventure series like that but never got into Harry Potter or the movies - and I see no reason to even give them a try now at any point. The tweet about the boy in the wheelchair was outrageous and the fact she kept it up to continue misleading people even after it was obviously false for so many days until she started being called out for it even by the leftists on CNN that she finally decided to retract it.

There is absolutely NOTHING President Trump can do or say, that will appease the Liberal Leftist MSM that hates and despises him, other than to say, “I resign”.

Backwards, forwards, up or down, left or right. No matter what he does or says. No matter what the situation. No matter how petty. They will damn him if he does, and damn him if he doesn’t.

They will totally ignore his positive accomplishments, or twist them to look like negatives. They will do everything their power to bring him down, “By Any Means Necessary”.

The Liberal Media is no longer a News Service; it’s a Propaganda Arm of the far Left.

She’s the Queen Sorceress of “Virtue” Signaling. What do you expect?

Isn’t there enough crap happening in merry old England for this trite socialist to comment on, without her sticking her nose into the business of former colonies. Maybe she can cogitate and ruminate on the hypocrisy of being an outrageously wealthy socialist.

Why is this foreigner’s opinion on anything American even relevant? They lost the war - get over it.

Well, if perfection can’t pass your test, that’s pretty good evidence that your test is crap :-).

Well, the Donald IS kind of hard to ignore worldwide. And the Donald has made it that way on purpose and not really giving a hoot about the torpedos.

We might as well stop getting up in arms about this and just let ourselves be amused. These stories inevitably end up with the Trump critic being reductio-ad-absurdamned, to coin a phrase.
