In reply to the discussion: The hypocrisy of MSBNC re: the Melania Trump plagiarism. [View all]CajunBlazer
(5,648 posts)It doesn't have to be one or the other. She did not write the speech by herself and she added the plagiarized sections. If the plagiarized section was written by a speechwriter, he are she would have been fired. That would have been would have been the easiest way out for Trump and the campaign - blame the speechwriter and fire him/her. But it didn't happen. Why?
That's and easy one. Melania herself must be responsible. Why not blame the speechwriter anyway? Simple, it would destroy his or her career so a speechwriter is not going to dive under the bus and ruin his/her career to save Donald and Melania some embarrassment. Fire the innocent speechwriter and he/she is talking to the press unless Trump's millions can buy him/her off, and even that is problematic.
