COMMENTS:
*  That tweet is funny considering that Donald is not pure breed (mother born in UK) nor are 4 of his 5 children.
    *  UK, a heinz 57 breeds of picts, celts, french, anglo, saxons, normans... with a German Queen to rule over them to boot ... aka The Donald is a mutt ...
*  Why is anyone surprised these statements are coming from the Trump camp?
*  Herr Drumpf may have German ancestory on his paternal side but can claim Scottish ancestry on his mother's side. )A MacLeod from the Isle of Lewis). Where else would he get that ginger rug if not from a Celt or a Pict? One should not expect decorum from Drumpf or anyone connected with him. Rudeness, racism and sexism are the Drumpf playbook; after all, he has aboslutlely nothing else to offer.
*  Well put Mrs. Rowling, the "pure-blood” reference fits right in with Republican front-runner Donald Trump who said Friday that Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is an "anchor baby." It was all part of Trump's repeated riffing on the fact that Cruz was born in Canada.  "Now, Ted Cruz may not be a U.S. citizen. Right? But he's an anchor baby in Canada. No, he's an anchor baby. Ted Cruz is an anchor baby in Canada," Trump said at an event in New Hampshire, according to ABC News.

J.K. Rowling Shuts Down Trump Spokesperson With 'Harry Potter' Death Eater Dig
Make America magical again.
By Carly Ledbetter, January 25, 2016

J.K. Rowling has never been one to hold back about Donald Trump on Twitter.

So when the Harry Potter author had the opportunity to burn Trump's spokesperson, Katrina Pierson, for an insensitive tweet, she delivered the ultimate Death Eater dig.

It all started with Pierson's disgustingly racist tweet about "pure breeds" in 2012, which recently resurfaced.

Perfect Obama's dad born in Africa, Mitt Romney's dad born in Mexico. Any pure breeds left? #CNNDebate

Pierson's tweet earned the criticism of many over the weekend, with one "Harry Potter" fan saying Pierson sounded like Draco Malfoy. Malfoy, of course, was a "pure-blood," or a wizard of fully magical heritage, who hated others who weren't like him (most notably Muggles, aka non-magical people, and mudbloods, aka Muggle-born witches and wizards).

Rowling saw the tweet (of course she would, she's magical) and fired back with an insult of her own that put everyone else's to shame.

J.K. Rowling, dropping the mic wand.

Make America magical again.
