Following calls yesterday for the Trump campaign to "fire someone," over the Melania-speech-plagiarism debacle, Meredith McIver - the Trump staff-writer responsible for the 'passages' from Michelle Obama's speech - has offered her resignation... but Donald Trump rejected it as an "innocent mistake.". McIver's statement notes "no harm was meant" to Michelle Obama.

Handled well all around. But the Trump haters won’t accept it.

I wonder if someone is just taking the fall for it.

But at least we know that some of us on FR called it like it was...instead of pretending it didn’t happen.

Jr signaled in an interview that there was a problem and blamed the speechwriter..so I knew that would eventually be an admission.

It happened. It’s over. Trump handled it the way he wanted. Let’s move on.

I don't buy this. I cannot believe Ms McIver was that stupid. I think she is simply the designated "faller on sword" who is taking a fall.

If she is that stupid, the Donald should say ...well, you know.

Yeah, it kind of smells. Melania read her passages in her broken english, she wrote them down...and then used them.

Uh...Not sure I believe it. There was some very exact phrasing used. 23 words worth strung together.

Moderator—I just tried to post this. My html skill are pretty rusty. If you find my thread. Please remove it.

Interesting turn of events. Wondering if the Trump family response is classy or a bad move.

Good. I’m glad he refused it.

When your enemy calls for blood, you don’t give it to them.

And no harm was caused to Mrs. Trump. None.

The only harm caused to anyone was a bunch of clucking chicken Repulicant’s running around without their heads as usual, and they did it to themselves.

In the days of ‘black/lives/matter’ This is too juicy for words... And they tried to necklace KKK around Trump’s neck... At least the people got a refresher course in the big differences in what Melania said and what Michell said... (Yeah I know I left off an e.)

Look, despite so many here claiming it couldn’t have happened..it was pretty obvious it happened.

They had to do something.

Manafort’s response was pathetic.

At least I can find some comfort that it seems it wasn’t treachery from some GOPE,Cruzbot,Hillarybot, etc....and that is what I was worried about.

Has she gone to University or any institution where you write papers? A simple ascription would have done far better than parroting from Obama’s wife with no ascription thus causing the hawks to descend. Sheesh.Elementary my dear Watson.

Well, I was wrong pinning this on ex-Cruz writers. In my defense, it was a first-rate conspiracy theory.

Meredith McIver appears to reflect the Classy people she works for by writing her 'class act' letter. The Trump Team as well as all the Trump Family are so refreshingly genuine.

I still can't believe that with all the chit going on in this world all the friggin media can do is to keep pushing this lameazz non-story. They've prolly put more effort into this than anything hildabeast has ever done.

Anyone who doesn't see the media bias at this point is willfully being blind or just plain apathetic.
