BEACHWOOD, OHIO — A day after the wife of presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump drew fire for lifting passages of First Lady Michelle Obama's 2008 Democratic National Convention speech, Massachusetts Republican Party Chairwoman Kirsten Hughes looked to downplay the controversy, saying the episode will likely be forgotten as convention week moves forward.
"I think today people will be talking about something different," Hughes said prior to the state GOP's breakfast meeting Tuesday. "It's a story from yesterday."
After eight years, the Abigail Fisher case finally has been put to rest. In a landmark judgment on June 23, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of race-conscious affirmative action in university admissions.
