Celebrated author but also crazy liberal J.K Rowling was caught pushing a deceptively edited video and went on a stupid rant about what it said about Trump.
Here’s the video she was propagating:
Here’s the tweet where she put it out, but ironically, her source deleted the video when he discovered it was missing context. She didn’t.

Deleted an earlier tweet because it turned out to be missing some context. Apologies.

The video shows Trump apparently ignoring a little kid in a wheelchair who’s reaching up for a handshake. The video makes him look heartless and evil.
But that’s not what happened.
In the full video, he enters the room and goes DIRECTLY to that kid first and spends time with him before the others:

You guys know I’m not a big fan of Trump because he isn’t very close friends with the truth. But that doesn’t mean you can blatantly lie about him. And that’s what J.K Rowling is doing here.
Now check out her insane rant she went on before checking to see if her video was a real representation of what happened:
Trump imitated a disabled reporter. Now he pretends not to see a child in a wheelchair, as though frightened he might catch his condition.

This monster of narcissism values only himself and his pale reflections. The disabled, minorities, transgender people, the poor, women

(unless related to him by ties of blood, and therefore his creations) are treated with contempt, because they do not resemble Trump.

My mother used a wheelchair. I witnessed people uncomfortable around her disability, but if they had a shred of decency they got over it. 1/

So, yes, that clip of Trump looking deliberately over a disabled child's head, ignoring his outstretched hand, has touched me on the raw. /2

That man occupies the most powerful office in the free world and his daily outrages against civilised norms are having a corrosive effect /3

How stunning, and how horrible, that Trump cannot bring himself to shake the hand of a small boy who only wanted to touch the President. /4x

C’mon. That’s just shameful.
She could say it was a mistake, but it’s almost 24 hours later and plenty of people have tweeted her about it. And it’s still up there on her account…
