Buford T. Justice Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5NI1UNNCuAY More interesting to me than the actual plagiarism is the GOP operative who wrote her speech. He clearly knew what he was doing and meant to sabotage her. It's like Chicago '68, only on stage this time instead of the streets.
Wuzzums Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 It's only 2 or 3 phrases and at this point I'm not even sure if it's a fuck-up or another attempt at free publicity.
rosencrantz Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Donald Trump gets free publicity and they show Melania next to Michelle Obama. Needless to say, both works in his favour. 2

Describing herself as an 'in-house staff writer' at the Trump organization, McIver says Mrs. Trump read her some passages of Michelle Obama's speech as examples of what she liked. "I wrote them down and later included some of the phrasing in the draft that ultimately became the final speech. I did not check Mrs. Obama's speeches. That was my mistake, and I feel terrible for the chaos I have caused Melania and the Trumps, as well as to Mrs. Obama. No harm was meant," she said in a statement. "Yesterday, I offered my resignation to Mr. Trump and the Trump family, but they rejected it. Mr. Trump told me that people make innocent mistakes and that we learn and grow from these experiences." "I asked to put out this statement because I did not like seeing the way this was distracting from Mr. Trump’s historic campaign for president and Melania’s beautiful message and presentation," she wrote.
AndrewV Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 The whole thing is blown up as if Michelle Obama created the entire English language or the common slogans politicians always stick in their speeches in one way or another. What she said was not a catch phrase and she is not the first person to say it. Its as lame as the Paris Hilton copyrighting the words "that's hot". Such a non issue i.e. (Lame Media B.S.) the media has made me cross eyed at this point.
