J.K. Rowling
has fired back at Piers Morgan after he appeared to blame her and her
supporters for both Brexit and Hillary Clinton losing the US presidential
election.
Piers, who
found himself trending on Twitter today after comedian Jim Jefferies told him
to "f**k off" during Real Time With Bill Maher, had dashed off a
tweet @-ing in the Harry Potter author earlier today - and she wasn't going to
take it lying down.
"This
is why I've never read a single word of Harry Potter," he wrote after she
shared a clip of the four-lettered rant.
"Because
you had a premonition that one day the author would roar with laughter at
seeing you called out for your bullshit on live TV?" she snapped back.
"Everything
I said was factual. If you think screaming 'F**K OFF!!!' at me changes that,
then you're mistaken," he replied.
"Would
you like a couple of hours to mock up some pictures of refugees carrying
explosives to substantiate your position?" she quipped.
"The
superior, dismissive arrogance of rabid Remain/Clinton supporters like @jk_rowling
is, of course, precisely why both campaigns lost," he then posted.
In response,
she shot back: "The fact-free, amoral, bigotry-apologism of celebrity
toady Piers Morgan is, of course, why it's so delicious to see him told to f**k
off."
Her fans
were delighted with her comeback, with one tweeting: "He set himself on
fire and hoped jk would die of smoke inhalation."
Another
wrote: "If you could compare him to an STD, which would one choose?"
And a third
compared the Good Morning Britain presenter to one of Rowling's less favoured
characters. posting:
"Piers
is so Gilderoy Lockhart."
