J.K. Rowling has made no secret of her contempt for President Donald Trump.
And on Saturday the “Harry Potter” author laced into the president again as she called him a “monster of narcissism” for ignoring a child in a wheelchair at an event on healthcare.
In her haste to lambaste the president, Rowling didn’t discover that the video was edited to ignore the loving way in which President Trump kneeled down and spoke with the young man at the beginning of the event.
She’s doing great work! Not sure that clip is as bad as it seems though: https://t.co/ym1nnwahQ6

But Rowling’s tweetstorm has more than 72,000 retweets sans that context.

Trump imitated a disabled reporter. Now he pretends not to see a child in a wheelchair, as though frightened he might catch his condition.

(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

The man who originally tweeted the video, Ansel Herz, deleted the tweet and tweeted an apology.
Deleted an earlier tweet because it turned out to be missing some context. Apologies.

In fairness to Rowling, it is likely that she didn’t know the video was edit to omit the context.
And she probably wasn’t interested in finding anything that didn’t fit her narrative, as she has made her contempt for this president known.
From calling on Londoners to protest a proposed visit by President Trump to comparing him to a Harry Potter character and calling him the biggest bully on the schoolyard, the author has done nothing to hide her bias.
But the question now is, will she be as noble as Herz and offer an apology for pushing this narrative?
