J.K. Rowling Tweet During 2016 Election Results
J.K. Rowling Summed Up the Election Results in 1 Tweet
As the results came in and it became clear that Donald Trump won the presidential election, J.K. Rowling tweeted a few words of wisdom for those wondering what to do next.
Rowling's words came in after she started retweeting and posting screenshots from people who were angry with her for voicing her thoughts on the election. Twitter user byeramon told her "don't feed them attention," and she responded with:

We stand together. We stick up for the vulnerable. We challenge bigots. We don't let hate speech become normalised. We hold the line. https://t.co/ro9AkRSc9Q
