RNC goon screws up even invoking "My Little Pony!"

Michelle Obama made her speech in 2008.

"My Little Pony" (the current series) began in 2010.

A Republican National Committee spokesman used a popular children's toy franchise on Tuesday to defend Donald Trump's speechwriters against allegations that they plagiarized portions of Melania Trump's speech at the GOP convention.

"When it comes to the speech, let's actually put this in perspective," RNC communications director Sean Spicer told CNN Tuesday afternoon. "In a 2,000-word statement, we're talking about 70 words [and] three passages. Melania Trump said, 'you work hard for what you get in life.' John Legend said, 'work hard to be anything you want in life.' Kid Rock said, 'work hard to be anything you want in life.'"

Spicer continued, "Melania Trump said, 'the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.' Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony said, 'this is your dream. Anything you can do in your dreams, you can do now.'"

"Fuck the world
Don't ask me for shit
And everything you get
You got to work hard for it

Honeys shake ya hips
(Ya don't stop)
And n*ggaz pack the clips
(Keep on)."

this is textbook plagiarism. It's theft. It's cheating.
And it puts a klieglight on the fact that Trump (and his campaign)
is dishonest and dishonorable. Party of personal responsibility, my ass.
