Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said he would “probably” fire the speechwriter responsible for Melania Trump’s GOP Convention speech that apparently plagiarized Michelle Obama.

Priebus addressed the situation on Tuesday morning at a Bloomberg Politics breakfast. “I don’t blame her,” he said. “Some of these things are pretty common types of themes.”

Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who is now a contributor for CNN, also said that someone should be fired over the situation.

“I know accountability in the Trump campaign. I know what it’s like to be fired from the Trump campaign,” Lewandowski said. “We know this, right?”

While Priebus and Lewandowski would probably fire the staffer responsible, Donald Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort blamed Hillary Clinton for the plagiarism allegations against Melania Trump.
