Yes. It’s for realz. Donald Trump’s campaign manager Paul Manafort came out today with one of the lamest rationalizations for Melania Trump’s 2016 Republican National Convention plagiarism speech. The speech reportedly “mirrored” First Lady Michelle Obama’s 2008 speech at the Democratic National Convention. In a press conference, Manafort claims the Clinton campaign was the first to get the story out there soooo..
“It’s just an other example as far as we’re concerned that when Hillary Clinton is threatened by a female the first thing she does is try to destroy the person. But it’s politics, we recognize it, and we’re going to just try to move on.”
Here’s Manafort’s tweet via ABC News/@ABCPolitics:
LOL. Paul. PAUL. It’s us. You can’t just move on with this one, because, you know — “it’s politics.”
