#ICYMI: J K Rowling and Piers Morgan had a huge row - and Twitter couldn’t get over it!

LOS ANGELES: Novelist J K Rowling and TV personality Piers Morgan were locked in a public fight on Twitter after he defended Donald Trump's travel ban during his appearance on a talk show.

Morgan accused Rowling of being "superior, dismissive and arrogant", and the writer attacked what she described as the "fact-free, amoral, bigotry-apologism of (a) celebrity toady".

It all started when the Harry Potter author retweeted video of Morgan's appearance on an episode of "Real Time With Bill Maher" during which he was shut down by Australian comedian Jim Jefferies, who swore at the TV personality for claiming Trump's controversial immigration order against seven majority-Muslim countries is not a "Muslim ban", reported Entertainment Weekly.

Yes, watching Piers Morgan being told to fuck off on live TV is *exactly* as satisfying as I'd always imagined. https://t.co/4FII8sYmIt

Because you had a premonition that one day the author would roar with laughter at seeing you called out for your bullshit on live TV? https://t.co/8rkKSqJTnG

.@piersmorgan Would you like a couple of hours to mock up some pictures of refugees carrying explosives to substantiate your position? https://t.co/sFj0kqIajd
