GOP still trying to excuse Melania Trump's plagiarism...

Yeesh.

Rachel Campos-Duffy: Michelle Obama Is The Real Plagiarist

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Tuesday, 7/26/2016 12:21 pm

After several lines of Melania Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention last week were found to have been plagiarized from a speech that Michelle Obama gave at the 2008 Democratic convention, some of the Trump campaign’s defenders went to absurd lengths to defend or deny the plagiarism.

Among them was Rachel Campos-Duffy, a spokeswoman for the Koch-funded conservative Latino group Libre Initiative and an RNC speaker, who told the Catholic TV news network EWTN on Thursday that if anyone had plagiarized it was Michelle Obama, because she lifted her 2008 speech from “the opportunity message that has been the platform of the Republican Party.”

According to the article, she's funded by the Kochs, so that explains her willingness to shamelessly spout this nonsense in public.

Their speech at the RNC was so over-emoted and filled with gallons of logical fallacies and statements so unbelievably dumb that it stopped time.

Of course, what would you expect from two former reality TV show stars in a country where a reality show star is a presidential candidate?

To Michelle's speech last night, I was wondering what parts Mrs. Trump will steal for her next speech.

And make no mistake about it, this November, when we go to the polls, that is what we’re deciding -– not Democrat or Republican, not left or right. No, this election, and every election, is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives.

And I am here tonight because in this election, there is only one person who I trust with that responsibility, only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be President of the United States, and that is our friend, Hillary Clinton.

Melania Trump is not anywhere close to Michelle Obama's intellect. When watching the so called Mrs. Trump do her speech,wow,it appeared and sounded like one of those Ms. America speeches,the Lady was totally out of Michelle Obama's league. What a difference in mental intellect skill levels.
