‘Harry Potter’ Author J.K. Rowling Says Criticizing Donald Trump Is A Pleasure And Duty

Award-winning actress Meryl Streep took the Golden Globes and social media by storm with her moving speech about the importance of members of the press and actors holding people in power accountable for their actions. Donald Trump dismissed Streep’s acceptance speech calling her an “over-rated” actress. Now another celebrity has reacted to the whole Meryl Streep-Donald Trump controversy.

“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling has made her thoughts clear on the matter. When a concerned fan suggested that soon the President-elect might call her over-rated, the 51-year-old scribe tweeted, “Never forget that some people’s good opinion would be more insulting than their abuse!”

Later, Rowling retweeted Donald Clarke’s tweet in which Trump is seen mocking disabled New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski during a 2015 rally. She has made it clear that she is not a fan of the businessman. She once called him a “giant orange Twitter egg,” according to Time.

Finally, the “Casual Vacancy” author ended her reaction to the Meryl Streep-Donald Trump controversy by addressing a fan’s tweet. This fan told her that if all famous people are busy criticizing Trump for the next four years, he will be busy ranting on Twitter. Rowling reacted to the tweet by saying that criticizing the new President will be both a pleasure and duty.

At the 2017 Golden Globes, when Streep accepted her Cecille B. DeMille Award, she pointed out that Hollywood is made up of diverse talent. The 67-year-old star cited an incident in which Trump mocked a disabled reporter and said that it “broke her heart.” She then insisted that actors and the press hold people in power accountable for their actions. The speech has since gone viral.

A lot of anti-Trump sentiments were expressed by the public since Streep made that speech at the Golden Globes.
