A video is going around of Donald Trump apparently ignoring a kid on a wheelchair:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpWwIw_jX8g


JK Rowling goes on a rant:
gyexZn9

Turns out, the video was deceptively edited and titled, and Trump actually spent some time greeting the kid on the wheelchair.:

What's wrong with JK Rowling? Or liberals in general. They seem a bit off lately.

So, you acknowledge it's a deceptively edited video yet still question why this would make her mad??

From the video she saw, he ignored the kid.
She had every right AT THE TIME to feel upset for something close to her like that.

If anything, this just reinforces the fact you should never take anything you see on the internet at face value, especially if it's political. There is no reason Rowling should have fallen for that.

Considering that people are still flipping out over Planned Parenthood "selling baby parts" because of a deceptively edited video produced by noted bullshit artist James O'Keefe, I think I can forgive Rowling for flipping out over a video that she didn't know was deceptively edited.

What's wrong is that the left keeps disgustingly editing things to falsely enrage other leftists. Then the leftists watching, such as Rowling, keep getting fooled AGAIN AND AGAIN by the fake news. It's her fault for being a sucker to her lying leftist media every other day.

The series was one of the most popular ever. The movies made 100s of millions of dollars each. Trying to claim the only people that like them are man children just displays stupidity on your part.

What? They've fallen for that tactic way more than once. Stupidity isn't a partisan thing. Both parties have stupid followers who will believe anything shoveled to them from their party.

True, but it seems like it wouldn't have taken him long to quickly shake the hand of the kid in the wheelchair again. But since Trump did say something to the kid in the wheelchair at one point, it seems like he just made a minor gaffe here.

I'm no fan of Rowling, but what utter hypocrisy to cry about some random non-politician's reaction BEFORE it's revealed a video is a fake but to be cool with actual politicians continuing to push actual legislation AFTER a video's shown to be fake!
