J.K. Rowling lashes out at Trump aide for her 'any pure breeds left?' tweet

J.K. Rowling has waded into the controversy surrounding Donald Trump after responding to a tweet in which his campaign spokesperson asked if there were any 'pure breeds' left.

Katrina Pierson raised eyebrows after a tweet about that 2012's presidential election was brought to light.

She wrote: 'President Obama's dad born in Africa, Mitt Romney's dad born in Mexico. Any pure breeds left?'

Katrina Pierson tweeted during a debate: 'Perfect Obama's dad born in Africa, Mitt Romney's dad born in Mexico. Any pure breeds left?'

Death Eaters walk among us,' Rowling tweeted on Sunday, with a link to Pierson's comment, suggesting that Trump's spokeswoman is a 'Death Eater.' They are radical, pure blood supremacists 

There were plenty of snarky tweets in response, but the author blew them all out the water by responding 'Death eaters walk among us.' 

The term Death Eaters is the name given to the followers of Lord Voldemort, the evil wizard in Rowling's Harry Potter series.

The Death Eaters roam the world pursuing their dark magic while casting fear and panic amongst ordinary wizarding folk all the while in servitude to Lord Voldemort.

They practiced the Dark Arts and thought anyone who was not 'pure-blood' (a witch or wizard with no Muggles in their family) was inferior to them. 

This isn't the first time that Pierson has sparked controversy. In December 2015, people were outraged when she wore a necklace made of bullets during a CNN appearance 

In Harry Potter, mystery Death Eaters roam the world pursuing their dark magic while casting fear and panic among ordinary wizarding folk all the while in servitude to He Who Must Not Be Named.

Defense: Rowling's Twitter fan base was quick to react to the tweet with some snarky responses

Rowling previously commented on American politics when Donald Trump suggested a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. 'How horrible. Voldemort was nowhere near as bad,' she tweeted in December 2015

This isn't the first time that Pierson, 39, has sparked controversy. In December, people were outraged when she wore a necklace made of bullets during a CNN appearance.

She also has a fondness for brash, unedited statements of whatever's on her mind. 'He's sort of not politically correct,' she once said of her candidate. 'He sort of calls it like he sees it. I'm kind of that way, too.'

J.K Rowling's world may be fantasy but her most evil characters do have a foundation in certain fascist ideology and acts of genocide.

Last month, the author took to Twitter again saying Donald Trump is worse than Lord Voldemort.

She vented her fury at the billionaire who proposed a ban on Muslims coming to America.

It sent Twitter into meltdown - with many comparing Trump to Harry Potter's arch-nemesis - a comparison Rowling took offence to.

After presidential hopeful Donald Trump suggested closing the borders to Muslims, people took to Twitter to suggest he is the real-life Voldemort, the evil wizard in the Harry Potter novels

But author J.K. Rowling took against the comparison - stating unequivocally that Trump was worse 

'How horrible,' she wrote on Twitter. 'Voldemort was nowhere near as bad.' 

The tweet has been 'favourited' more than 240,000 times - and has garnered more than a few responses.

'How could they be confused?' tweeted David Griffith (‏@theplaguedoc). 

'One is a malevolent monster with legions of fanatics & none of his own hair. The other is a wizard.'  

Will Hackney (@WRHackney) added:'President Voldemort is sounding a lot better than President Trump at this point.'

'At least  Voldemort was an equal opportunity psychopath,' wrote @Cafferkey_Sean.

While Rena (@Crimson_Silk) noted: 'It's a bit of an insult to Voldemort, tbh.' 

It wasn't long until the memes began either - with a picture of the Dark Lord wearing a wig, and a campaign poster for endorsing He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

In December, memes of Lord Voldermort sporting Donald Trump's hair began to appear
