Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is the wealthiest author in the world — and is using her fortune to further liberal causes.
But when she decided to take a very vocal stance against President Donald Trump’s travel ban and the Americans who support him, they had a clever response.
After she launched Twitter attacks on multiple Trump supporters, a change.org petition for “J.K. Rowling to take in Muslim refugees” in her whopping 18 spare bedrooms gained 58,000 signatures and is still counting.
If the billionaire wants refugees in, afterall, shouldn’t she volunteer all the extra space she has?
Following Trump’s executive order, the celebrity author went on a twitter rampage announcing how upset she was with the ban.
She tweeted to one Trump supporter that he is a “lonely virgin.”

But Trump supporters called her bluff, and started the petition for her to personally do something about the refugee crises she pretends to care so much about.
The petition reads, “J.K. Rowling has 18 spare bedrooms in her mansions in Britain and could easily give 18 refugees a long-time housing, not to mention the space available on her giant property to erect refugee shelters.”
And her silence was deafening.
While Rowling was aggressive in cyber-bullying others who didn’t want refugees brought into their home countries, she has been totally silent to the request to take them into her private home.
Everything must be a lot simpler behind the comfort of high-level security gates.
Just another celebrity acting like they understand the lives of average Americans — who CLEARLY doesn’t get it.
