Recommended for you
The reactions from celebs to the second presidential debate were as intense as you can imagine. And though most were Americans, one Brit was watching and reacting right along with us. J.K. Rowling is known not only for her writing, but also for her love of her fans and her willingness to address difficult situations. And when it comes to politics, she is truly woke AF. That’s why you need to check out the Harry Potterauthor’s words of wisdom regarding the presidential debate.
Taking to Twitter, she made a great point about what it means to participate in an election…
The key question, right there, for voters in every democracy. Not 'who is he?' but 'who are we?' #PresidentialDebate

…and addressed the fact that words DO matter (anyone who’s treasured every… single… word in a Harry Potter book knows this well).
Trump says 'just words, folks.' It's his accusation and his defence. Words don't matter. Facts don't matter. If they don't, we're all lost.

She followed that with a tweet that showed she wasn’t having it from those trying to “help” or “explain” the sitch…
The men rushing to tell us all that they talk about women exactly the way @realDonaldTrump did in his tape seem to think they're helping.

And she definitely wasn’t going to let Trump get away with his WTF debating style…
'It's your fault I didn't pay taxes, Hillary. Women let you do anything when you're a star.'

She also went on to tweet a clip from The Guardian which shows she’s not the only Brit that’s concerned about this election…
