Joy Reid is right, Michelle Obama would not get a free pass if she did what Melania did

[itsrobert]

The right would be out with pitchforks.

1. I agree with Joy.

They'd be out to DESTROY Michelle if that had been her. Except Michelle would never plagiarize and lie about it.

[3catwoman3]

2. She most...

...certainly would not get a pass.

[oasis]

3. "I write de speech wid onlee a little help". Crooked Melania.

She told a whopper. Michelle Obama is a scholar and would need no help to write anything.

[Ms.Lib]

4. Not only would she not get a pass

She would be called to testify before the congressional oversight committee & there would be millions spent on investigations until the end of freaking time!!

[R B Garr]

5. Yup, Joy Reid is nailing this. Just heard her say the Right would be out

with pitchforks calling her a liar if Michelle did this, etc. This is amazing!

[NBachers]

16. Just like this

[PatSeg]

6. Yes

Michelle never got a pass for anything. It will be interesting to see how republicans spin this. Probably blame the media!

[TreasonousBastard]

7. But, don't forget...

that Michelle would not have done that.

[itsrobert]

8. this is true.

yup.

[Hortensis]

18. Exactly. Michelle would never do that.

[phleshdef]

9. That is certainly true. But I don't think Melania's speech is a hill worth dying on.

[Hortensis]

19. Well put. She's collateral damage in this battle.

Hopefully with intensive therapy she'll eventually be able to talk again.

[msanthrope]

10. Convention-ghazi. nt

[Chicago1980]

11. Chris Matthews seemed to be trying to defend Melania.

That pissed me off. Or was I reading that wrong?

And Joy is 100% correct. The right would be calking Michelle lazy and a plagiarist.

12. Neither would Hillary.

They'd be building her a nice gallows.

13. Hell No! But, Michelle is Briliant and she would steal someone elses words anyway..

14. Melanie is allowed to do this.

She's Trumps wife and can do whatever the hell she wants an not a single Trumpet will complain. They don't listen to anything these people say anyway except to parrot empty propaganda slogans.

[Justitia]

17. Michelle Obama would have been crucified. -eom

#MelaniaTrump proved tonight she is total opposite of #MichelleO. No anger. No complaints. Just about what can happen through opportunity.

You have to read some of the responses to him.

Oh and this guy is running for Senate in California. HA!

[karynnj]

21. She could have said the same for Teresa or Hillary 1992

Along with Michelle, the media held them to a standard far higher than Melania - finding much to criticize. Melania's bio has been inflated suggesting that the Trump team felt it fell short. Contrast that with the pride the three Democrats deservedly had in their wives.

22. I remember all the vile and disgusting things that were said about Michelle

just because she wanted kids to move around and eat a healthy diet.
