Thoughts? "JK Rowling Took a Stand for 'Offensive and Bigoted' Donald Trump — Here's Why"
>May 17, 2016J.K. Rowling would like to clarify that she does not like or approve of presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.At Monday night's annualPen Literary Galain New York City, Rowlingtold the crowdshe finds him to be "objectionable," "offensive and bigoted," but she wouldn't support barring him from the United Kingdom on those grounds, as has been suggested.Instead, she welcomed the Donald to come "be offensive and bigoted" in her native U.K.
>TheHarry Potterauthor said leveraging Trump's hate speech to ban him from the country would set a dangerous precedent, condoning the censorship ofviewpoints that conflict with one's own."If you seek the removal of freedoms from an opponent simply on the grounds that they have offended you, you have crossed a line to stand alongside tyrants who imprison, torture and kill on exactly the same justifications," she said.

so offensive, im now a #hillarymissile
Charles Smith
she has a point, but why did you post this on tv?
Ryder King
This barely has anything to do with TV and Film. Only tangentially. OP just wants to trigger poltards.
Jacob Hughes
I used to like Harry Potter, both the books and films, but the more I see fan who can't let go and Rowling's determination to be progressive to please said fans, the more I dislike it.
Cooper Powell
I couldn't give a shit about her. I love the films. Nothing she can do can change that
Luis Turner
Okay wow, that's literally it.
This "totally not trying to stay relevant" childrens author has officially made me a #CruzMissile

If I was a white woman with billions, completely insulated from all the evils of society in my ivory tower of rich privilege I'd probably say shit like this too, especially if I was old and my pussy was dried up like the Sahara.

The fucking ironing, the painting in the pottery, this applies to all of tumblr and SJW.

she still pretty fine desu, I'd put my basilisk in her chamber of secrets until she was moaning myrtle if you know what I mean
Carter Adams
i actually thought i was on pol until
Sebastian Butler
She's British. It's none of her fucking business who the US votes for. We settled that shit in 1776.
So let that fucking bitch continue white-flighting to stay one step ahead of the shitflood in her own country while pretending she's tolerant for wanting that shit flood to fuck up the lesser poorer Brits.

>Trump wants to ban people he doesn't like from coming to the U.S. >cries like a bitch when other people want to stop him from coming to their country

James Morgan

Robert Sullivan

I bet this will make leftists SOOOOOOO fucking mad.
Leftists are basically fascists at this point.
Samuel Martin
Why do people care what she thinks like she's some fucking smart political commentator who know anything, she wrote a fucking kids book suddenly she's the fount of knowledge and we should live by her gospel?
Nathaniel Jones
its about the fact people in the UK want to Ban Trump from entering the UK based on his personal views.
If you could read properly maybe you would have understood that it has little to do with an election.
Tyler Adams
Lol you didn't catch the orwellian themes in order of the phoenix and the brazilian nature of the ministry throughout the entire series?
Hudson Jenkins
Only logical voice in this thread. well done.
Hunter Anderson
>its about the fact people in the UK want to Ban Trump from entering the UK based on his personal views.
Only a small handful. Leftists who want to destroy civilization as we know it are a loud minority who enforce their rules over everyone else where they jail any Brit who even utters one single word against what they're doing.
Aaron Johnson
I gotta say, Rowling is fine as hell.
I'd Slytherin to her Chamber of Secrets any day.
Connor Barnes
She was just JKing
Hudson Jenkins
Despite me disagreeing with her opinions, it's pretty cool that she's saying "everyone is entitled to theirs, stop trying to infringe on someone's rights because of their opinions"
Henry Jenkins
Here's an accurate interpretation of what she said
