Katie Jerkovich writes for RedState.com about the latest political commentary from the famed Harry Potter creator.
J.K. Rowling blasted the silence of leftists who claim to be human rights supporters amid the recent anti-Islamic regime protests in Iran, saying their silence proves they don’t care about “people being oppressed and brutalized” as long as it’s being “done by the enemies of your enemies.”
The famed “Harry Potter” author was one of the first to effectively rail against the injustice of the insane transgender agenda, proven right by everyone eventually. And once again, she’s on the right side of history, showing her support to those people who are risking their lives in Iran by speaking out against their oppressive government.
“If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself,” Rowling wrote in a post on X. “You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalized so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.”
The comments come amid anti-government protests in Iran, where more than 500 freedom protestors have reportedly been killed, according to the U.S.-based Human Rights Activist News Agency.
On Sunday, President Donald Trump spoke to members of the press on Air Force One, throwing his support behind the protestors.
“They’re starting to, it looks like, and there seem to be some people killed that aren’t supposed to be killed,” the president said. “These are violent — if you call them leaders, I don’t know if they’re leaders or just if they rule through violence. And, we’re looking at some very strong options. We’ll make a determination.”
Days earlier, Trump warned the Islamic regime that the alleged killings must stop or the U.S. will hit Iran “very hard.”
“Iran’s in big trouble,” Trump stated. “It looks to me that the people are taking over certain cities that nobody thought were really possible just a few weeks ago. We’re watching the situation very carefully.”
