As scrutiny intensifies of Melania Trump for lifting passages from Michelle Obama’s 2008 convention speech and presenting them as her own Monday night, Trump advisers are jumping to her defense.
During a televised panel event in Cleveland Tuesday morning hosted by The Atlantic, Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, a prominent GOP pollster, told the audience that just “about 7 percent” of Melania’s speech was from Obama’s.
“I think it’s unfortunate, but I also think that Melania Trump gave a first speech ever in front of 35 million people. She is not a politician. I certainly hope it doesn’t detract from the other things she said, which included “the greatest privilege on planet earth is to be an American citizen,” Conway said.
Well that speech was a blur and seeing how her hubby’s memory is selective to images and events that please him, could Miss Conway explain why Rudy Giuliani gave a better profile of Trump than his wife did?
I certainly hope it doesn’t detract from the other things she said, which included “the greatest privilege on planet earth is to be an American citizen,” Conway said.
So cut her some slack. Show her the same respect shown to Michelle.
Ruh roh. Malignantcia’s toast.
And yet most non-politicians know how stupid it was to plagiarize from another speech.
Because he doesn’t have to live with him?
