RNC Chairman Reince Priebus told the Washington Post that he had not seen a video comparing the speeches of Melania Trump and Michelle Obama in 2008 but that “it certainly seems reasonable to me” that someone be fired over it.
Said Priebus: “Certainly, I don’t blame her for any of that.”
Asked whether it constituted plagiarism, Priebus said: “I don’t have a view yet, but I may later this morning.”
