Hehehehehehhee thou shalt not plagiarize and then lie

It's not going away -the fallout continues - did the ballet dancer English major and close family friend rework the speech and steal Michelle's speech?

1. Melania "McGyver'd" her speech

I hear it was a paper clip and some white out and rubber bands... and an old car battery.

2. I think it's hysterical that - due to typical Trump mishandling - this is still in the news.

It's also pretty startling that Trump hasn't defended his wife - allowing the campaign to point the finger at Melania and cause her further humiliation.

I don't know if she did it or a staffer, but Trump letting her take the heat for it is surprising.

3. NPR's "All Things Considered" ran an illuminating piece on this yesterday

It was about five minutes of various Republicans telling us that Melania's plagiarism is no big deal, along with a token dissenting soundbyte from Priebus.

The NPR commentator also read a brief (one sentence) statement from a Democrat (someone in Clinton's campaign, I believe.)

If Michelle Obama had stolen her speech from Nancy Reagan, NPR would have run long investigative pieces on it, with lengthy statements from Republicans and another one-sentence response from a Democrat.

Despite all of their famed "Liberal Bias," NPR is every bit as much in love with Trump as all the rest of the MSM.
