Christ Christie's hilarious defense of plagiarism

Christie Defends Melania Trump Plagiarism: 93 Percent Was Different

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/christie-melania-trump-plagiarism?utm_content=buffer1562c&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Tuesday morning brushed off questions about the portions of Melania Trump's Monday night speech lifted from the speech Michelle Obama delivered at the 2008 Democratic convention.

Matt Lauer, co-host of NBC's "Today," asked Christie if he could "make a case for plagiarism."

"No, not when 93 percent of the speech is completely different than Michelle Obama’s speech. And they expressed some common thoughts," Christie said in response before pivoting to say that the first day of a convention is typically the worst day.

oh, and 10% of that was a rick roll.

Something tells me that Christie didn't come up with that figure by himself. We're supposed to think Christie is angry with Trump, but it looks like he's still carrying water for the campaign. I guess he's been promised something else.
