Actor Mark Hamill, who is best known for his role of Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars film series, has upset liberals by merely “liking,” or favoriting, a tweet from the popular Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.
Rowling is well known for triggering radical leftists with her views on transgenderism.
A transgender newsreader for Good Morning Britain named India Willoughby initially said, “I’m more of a woman than JK Rowling will ever be.”
This is the second time @MarkHamill has liked a transphobic jk tweet, he said the first was a misunderstanding but this one feels pretty clear :/ really made me sad to see this on my timeline pic.twitter.com/5yJ8cCrGVr

Rowling responded jokingly, “citation needed,” in reference to the fact that Rowling is a biological woman as opposed to biological male who choose to identify as a woman.
Hamill “liked” Rowling’s response. Liberals responded by calling Hamill a “bigot.”

It’s unclear if Hamill is agreeing with Rowling because she’s a friend. He is known as a very outspoken leftist and Trump critic.
