(30,811 posts)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.

(63,208 posts)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.
