LONDON -- Whether it's Harry Potter references or Bible quotes, J.K. Rowling knows a strong shut-down when she sees one.

This time Vice President Mike Pence was the man in the firing line. On Sunday, Rowling shared an old tweet sent out by Pence in December 2015.

She accompanied the retweet with a simple Bible quote.

At the time of writing her tweet has been shared almost 25,000 times.

Rowling's tweet about Pence followed a string of other tweets about Trump's travel ban on Saturday evening:
