The Republican National Convention began Monday. The Twitter-verse is reeling because Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s wife Melania appears to have plagiarised Michelle Obama’s 2008 convention speech.
Here is the video that proves it:

One of Trump’s top aides, Paul Manafort, said:
“There’s no cribbing of Michelle Obama’s speech. These are common words and values — that she cares about her family, things like that. She was speaking in front of 35 million people last night; she knew that. To think that she would be cribbing Michelle Obama’s words is crazy.”
Oh, really?
Manafort is somehow blaming Hillary Clinton for Melania Trump’s screw up. He said:
“This is once again an example of when a woman threatens Hillary Clinton, how [Clinton] seeks to demean her and take her down. It’s not going to work.”
How did he even get to that conclusion? There was zero logic put in on this statement. It’s not Hillary Clinton’s fault that Melania can’t write.
Another Trump adviser, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said this in a Fox News interview:
“I thought Melania did a great job last night. And look, here’s the real question; no one is going to accuse Melania of saying this is the first time she’s ever been proud to be an American, when her husband was nominated to be president. I thought she did a remarkable job…”
The host of the show, Martha MacCallum, said that while the voters may not care, this makes the campaign look “sloppy.”
Some people are calling for Manafort to be fired. What does MacCallum say? She is looking for someone else to get fired. She said.
“I think the person who ought to be fired is Hillary Clinton. She broke the law and that’s been completely ignored.”
Here is an important point to be made. Hillary Clinton is not employed.
I shouldn’t be surprised here. These Republicans are not sure how to use logic. There was zero logic applied in this statement. Clinton’s e-mails have nothing to do with this.
