JK Rowling And Patton Oswalt Go Head To Head With Piers Morgan On Twitter For Trump Comments
On Friday's episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, Piers Morgan sparked a social media controversy [...]
After Rowling's initial tweet, Piers wrote: "This is why I've never read a single word of Harry Potter."
Read Rowling's response below:

Piers then wrote: "Everything I said was factual.
If you think screaming 'FUCK OFF!!!' at me changes that, then you're mistaken."
Rowling then threw shade at Morgan's stance on the Refugee crisis.

Piers wrote: "The superior, dismissive arrogance of rabid Remain/Clinton supporters like @jk_rowling is, of course, precisely why both campaigns lost."
prevnextThe fact-free, amoral, bigotry-apologism of celebrity toady Piers Morgan is, of course, why it's so delicious to see him told to fuck off. https://t.co/4XNF4G0nlD

After J.K. Rowling and Piers Morgan's Twitter spat, Patton Oswalt then jumped in.
Morgan said that he would be the one to standup for the "deplorables" if he had to. Oswalt then joined in by saying that Morgan actually wants nothing to do with these type of people.

Morgan then wrote: "I don't happen to think that anyone who voted Trump is deplorable. The fact you do is why Hillary lost. Just elitist, entitled, bullsh*t."
prevnextIf Hillary won you'd be clinging to her pantsuit like a lemur. Spare me the working class hero shit. You're a palace Corgi. https://t.co/KIwgxNJonW

"The palace corgis are magnificent animals so pipe down, you insufferable berk," Morgan wrote. "Hillary lost because she was a terrible candidate."

Oswalt finally ended the conversation with the promise of more "mean tweets" to come if he decided to post them.
prevHey @piersmorgan, I gotta go make brekky. There's 3 more mean Tweets about you in my Drafts folder. Tap my phone & you can read 'em.
