The idea that Trump actually wrote the op-ed is the funny part. In fact I doubt that Carson did either. Both probably hired the same guy to crank out the column and he cut some corners.
You are probably right.
Do you recall though when a writer (can't think of his name) was caught plagiarizing and how the Freepers went all bonkers thinking the guy should be basically strung up?
Carson — who dropped his GOP bid earlier this month and endorsed Trump last week — brushed off the plagiarism accusation, suggesting that Trump’s op-ed may have been written by one of his former staffers.
“I would say that many of the people that worked for me previously are now working for Donald Trump, so that doesn’t surprise me at all,” Carson told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Wednesday.
“So, in other words, it could be a direct copy, but it wouldn’t be plagiarism because it could be somebody who actually wrote the first one writing the second one?” Burnett asked.
“Let me put it this way,” Carson said. “It doesn’t bother me at all.”
