It appears that the author of the
Harry Potter series has
taken umbrage at everyone comparing Voldemort to Donald Trump:
Harry Potter author JK Rowling has rejected the comparison of US presidential candidate Donald Trump to the villain in her seven-part book series, saying on Twitter that “Voldemort was nowhere near as bad”.
The author was tweeting in response to a BBC report on the number of tweets comparing the Republican politician with the Dark Lord.
Trump made headlines on Tuesday when he called for a “total and complete shutdown” of US borders to Muslims, in the wake of the San Bernardino terrorist attack. Trump has targeted Muslims in previous speeches, calling for surveillance of mosques across America and claiming Muslims in New Jersey cheered the 9/11 terrorist attacks, a claim he refused to retract despite fact-checkers debunking it.
We live in Bizarro World.
