Last night I predicted the Trump campaign would try to deny Melania Trump plagiarized Michelle Obama’s speech for the 2008 Democratic convention, and that’s exactly what Trump’s campaign adviser Paul Manafort is doing today. But he’s even going a step further and blaming the whole controversy on Hillary Clinton.

“There’s no cribbing of Michelle Obama’s speech. These are common words and values that she cares about her family, things like that,” he continued when asked by anchor Chris Cuomo about the plagiarism allegations. “I mean, she was speaking in front of 35 million people last night. She knew that. To think that she would be cribbing Michelle Obama’s words is crazy. This is once again an example of when a women threatens Hillary Clinton, how she seeks out to demean her and take her down. It’s not going to work.”

Here’s a video of the two speeches side by side, making the plagiarism painfully obvious.
