How does this explanation make Melania look better? If anything, the speechwriter could have made an innocent error by not knowing that words being read to her were lifted directly from another speech, but Melania knew these words were Obama's, read them to her speechwriter asking for them to be added and then read them out again on live television.

In fairness to Melania you have to be able to know what plagiarism is to really be guilty of it, I'm sure staffers tried to explain in terms she's understands, 'it's as if you went to a party wearing the same dress as the host'.
