RantCrush Top 5: July 28, 2017

J.K. Rowling has become increasingly well known for her political Twitter presence, calling out particularly conservative voices in both the United States and the United Kingdom. She just found a new foe: political commentator Tomi Lahren. Lahren has been fairly quiet since her show was suspended in March, and is now working with a pro-Trump super PAC. Recently, Lahren tweeted in response to Trump’s proposed ban on trans service members:

Pres Trump dedicated to putting radical Muslims in graves whereas Pres Obama was dedicated to putting men in the ladies room. #MAGA

Rowling responded, pointing out Obama’s legacy vs. Trump’s history, to much applause from the Twitterverse.

Truly, whom amongst us can forget Trump ordering the killing of bin Laden? Or Obama bragging about barging in on naked beauty contestants? pic.twitter.com/1veorstvA0
