Liberal Media, #NeverTrump Accuse Donald Trump, Jr. of Plagiarism; Charge Refuted by Speech Author
Gateway Pundit ^ | July 20, 2016 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 07/20/2016 5:14:10 AM PDT by bobsunshine

Liberal media outlets and Never Trump activists thought they really had the Trump campaign this time. A passage of the speech given Tuesday night at the Republican National Convention by Donald Trump, Jr., tracked remarkably similar to an article by George Mason law professor Frank Buckley..... It turns out that Buckley, a known Trump supporter, was one of the authors of the speech.

A cryptic tweet by Buckley was followed a tweet from an ABC News reporter who spoke with Buckley.

From Meridith McGraw: Just got off the phone with Buckley: “I was one of the principal speechwriters. It’s not a problem.”

The MSM and Liberals have tried to discredit the Trumps again, but this time they have egg on their face - I wonder if the MSM will try this with any speeches at the DNC? NOT !!

NOW lets ignore this from the liberals and focus on the great speeches last night and Monday - lets focus getting Mr. Trump elected as our President.

Simple rule: if you heard it on the news,it probably isn’t true.

Trump will ridicule the media and challenge him to check his speech. They will come back with, “In describing what should be done to Mrs Clinton, Donald Trump stole passages from the execution order by Henry VIII, when Anne Boelyn was beheaded in 1536.”

Has anyone noticed that the MSM and the Democrats have taken to basing a campaign around a single word?
Remember when the most read and head word was “GRAVITAS”?
It was a never ending theme, the center of every ad, speech and written sentence for an entire campaign.
Remember a propaganda blitz built around the word “VIDEO”?
Now it seems the “Charge of choice” for this campaign will be the horrendous word “PLAGIARISM”. Be prepared for it.
Even he/she who calls out, “GOD BLESS AMERICA” will be scorned for stealing the words of someone else.

Never, never, never accept the premise.

Keep looking and moving forward.

When you're giving them the ball don't criticize them when they run with it.

If he doesn't go with the teleprompter but instead speaks extemporaneously then there is almost zero chance that they can get him for plagiarizing anyone.

#1 story all morning on CNN-What did Melania know and when did she know it. Two separate panels discussing it. CNN ratings have to be dropping faster than Hillary’s poll numbers

I think Donald Jr. asked the most illuminating question of the night:

“Who would YOU want to call for help at 3am, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?”

Pointing a finger towards the “other guy” takes away the attention being directed at you for the same thing. This has been a demodummie tactic since Noah built the ark.
