Speechwriter, Meredith McIver photoshopped picture with Trump and fake profile [View all]

Last edited Thu Jul 21, 2016, 11:31 AM - Edit history (1)

Here's a photo, supposedly of Trump and McIver

Here's another one, same image of McIver in same room, no Trump

Photos can be seen on: https://twitter.com/imeredithmciver which is obviously fake and was created yesterday.

No Facebook or LinkedIn can be found.

No media have been able to contact her.

No record of her being on the Trump campaign payroll.

No evidence at all that she exists.

More info on on: https://www.good.is/articles/will-the-real-meredith-mciver-stand-up

This story is bigger than the plagiarism scandal that started it. It is bigger than the denial by the Trump Campaign. It is bigger than the campaign manager blaming Hillary Clinton. This is a story that needs to run and run.

Its in the column on the left jcgoldie Jul 2016 #60

And this is not suspicious! She knows all these "people?" Her Sister Jul 2016 #61

I'd be more confident of her existence jcgoldie Jul 2016 #62

Why would she friend fake "Trump" people. Right? Her Sister Jul 2016 #63

This woman also compares the 2 photos and says you can see the woman's hair by Trumps head Her Sister Jul 2016 #64

They are obviously the same picture jcgoldie Jul 2016 #66

Meredith McIver is the "Flat Stanley" of the Trump campaign! n/t woodsprite Jul 2016 #79

Hahaha! workinclasszero Jul 2016 #93

This would be the biggest political story since Watergate if McIver doesn't exist. yardwork Jul 2016 #86

There are 3 possibilities I see immediately. Warren DeMontague Jul 2016 #90

I agree with you, except I don't think this was a rickroll. yardwork Jul 2016 #100

No, I mean the rickroll in the actual speech. Warren DeMontague Jul 2016 #101

I know. And I'm pointing out that one of Trump's books has a similar title. yardwork Jul 2016 #102

Yeah, who knows what of the stuff that's appears over the past couple of days is real muriel_volestrangler Jul 2016 #107

Someone with that name came into the room and dropped a sheaf of papers on the desk? randome Jul 2016 #113

She works in the office. How much did you expect her to feature in a 2007 Trump interview? muriel_volestrangler Jul 2016 #115

Who says she works there? Is that an assumption? randome Jul 2016 #117

The article says she works there. Trump shouted for her. No, it's not an assumption. muriel_volestrangler Jul 2016 #119

That article just confirms mindfulNJ Jul 2016 #99
