Meredith McIver, a staff writer for Donald Trump and his presidential campaign, has admitted to taking a portion of Michelle Obama’s 2008 Democratic National Convention speech and using it in Melania Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention on Monday night.

and Michelle Obama plagiarized far-left radical organizer Saul Alinsky in her speech.

I wonder how much she was paid to take the fall.

You Dumbass she probably did read it and agreed with it. The parts taken were pretty universal and generic opinions most of us would agree with. She probably did write it herself with help from Meredith McIver who most likely quoted the plagiarized parts to her and she unaware agreed. This isn't rocket science,none of these guys write their own speeches entirely.

Would you have known it was part of MO's speech?

If it wasn't the plagiarism the media would have found something else to bitch about. She could have been perfection personified on that stage and someone somewhere would have found fault.

You are the consummate fool - your critique is both false and 8 years too late. You need to check out stuff before you echo others.

McIver claims she took parts from a speech Melania admired, being Obama's, and reviewed the speech over the phone with her. So not only did Melania know the lines were lifted, but she didn't write the speech, and the Trump campaign denied any plagiarism. They were lying every step of the way.

Michelle Obama’s speech was taken from “Rules for Radicals.” Alinsky’s book read:

“The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be.”

Michelle’s speech read: ““And Barack stood up that day, and he spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about ‘the world as it is‘ and ‘the world as it should be.’”<<

Mrs.Trump's speech used common phrases we have all used but the press have made such a fuss over it.

So she knew, maybe she sucks a speech writing. Again they were generic and universal comments most of us agree with and to some degree she changed a few words. Who cares if she lifted them?

How do you know she didn't write the rest of her speech with help of course. And Hillary denied and lied about Benghazi among other things but at least Melania didn't get four people killed. I'm not a big Trump supporter but I still think Trump is the lesser of two evils.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

So no intent so no foul.....right? LOL

 

[Kvaughn419]

Ok this woman is a model people. They are not known for speech writing. Trump didn't pick her for her brain

Her mistake was in saying she wrote it in the first place. Nobody believes these people write their own speeches. Then the campaign doubles down on denying it only to have a staffer admit to it two days later. It adds to the narrative that Trump's entire campaign is a clusterfuck.

It is true that the words of others can inform us and frame our world view. Before Obama, and before Alinsky, a famous American oft repeated, "Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not."

Comporting either Obama or Alinsky as plagiarists is ridiculous, maybe Bobby Kennedy framed his dream speech on the words of others - maybe MLK's I have a dream speech. But to mislead millions of people, as the RNC has done in an effort to spin this matter, tells us much more about the Republican Party than it does about Melanie Trump, who seems to be the victim in this matter.

Yeah but so is Hillary's. I keep hoping Superman will come to the rescue with a better candidate before election day.


You're right nobody believes that they write their own speeches but even with her claiming she wrote it it might not be totally untrue I'm sure she did write bits of it. The whole issue is absurd.
