RNC official cites ‘My Little Pony’ to defend Melania Trump
But when it came to her big moment in the spotlight, Melania Trump chose a dress not by an American designer, but by a Serbian-born designer based in London.
“After tonight, we won’t be talking about this”.
Staff said there was no evidence Mrs Trump had lifted passages from a 2008 speech by First Lady Michelle Obama.
The first day of the convention, held under the theme “Make America Safe Again”, played on the anxieties of USA residents and conveyed the urge of an aggressive section of the US establishment to institute draconian measures affecting civilian policing, national security policy, and immigration enforcement.
The speech has since been ridiculed on social media.
It was Mrs Trump’s first speech of the campaign and she had the help of a speechwriting team.
“Certainly, there’s no feeling on her part that she did it”, Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, said Tuesday morning in a CNN interview. These were common words and values.
“When you do something that is so egregious that the story today is not how great Melania Trump was and how successful this convention is going to be, but is because a staff person didn’t do their job properly, there absolutely has to be accountability”. “No question”, Lewandowski said before addressing a breakfast meeting of the IL delegation.
Corey Lewandowski, who was sacked in June, said the matter should be resolved as soon as possible.
“I know about accountability in this election”, said Mr Lewandowski, who is now a paid contributor for CNN.
Asked if the blame should fall to Paul Manafort, Mr Lewandowski said it’s on “whoever is in charge of the convention”.
Republican National Committee chairman Reince Preibus said he “probably” would have fired speechwriters if the same thing had happened to him, but he also called the controversy a “distraction”.
“I don’t blame her”, Mr Priebus said.
“Melania Trump said “the strengths of your dream and the willingness to work for them”, Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony said ‘this is your dream, anything you can do in your dreams you can do now”.
