After catching social media heat for tweeting a blatant lie about President Trump refusing to shake hands with a handicapped child, Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has finally issued a tepid apology -- not to Trump, but to the child.
The Washington Free Beacon reports that Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal's deputy communications director Ansel Herz tweeted out a now-deleted video last Friday which appeared to show Trump ignoring an attempted handshake from a child in a wheelchair prior to delivering a statement on health care. What actually happened was that Trump had previously knelt to talk with the boy, whose mother later stated that her son was not trying to shake the President's hand anyway.
Fantasist Rowling then tried her hand at creating some fiction about the President, retweeting Herz's misleading tweet and writing, "when someone shows you who they are, believe them," a quote from poet Maya Angelou.
On Monday, Rowling sent out four tweets apologizing for any "distress" that she may have caused the little boy or family.
Since Rowling didn't lie about the boy or his family but about President Trump, her apology is no apology at all.
"When someone shows you who they are, believe them." Indeed. Rowling has shown us she is an unapologetic liar, whose hatred of a man who isn't even her president trumps the truth.
