CLEVELAND -- So the speech on the first night of the Republican National Convention that "everyone is talking about" was Melania Trump's endorsing her husband's candidacy, which appeared to have lifted passages from Michelle Obama's speech endorsing her husband's candidacy eight years ago.

The lifting was especially lamentable because Melania gave a very classy and well-delivered speech. Somebody did her a grave disservice and needs to have their butt kicked all the way to Cincinnati.

I don’t remember Michelle claiming to have a super model career and living in Paris in her 2008 speech

I guess I missed that, I would have fell on the floor laughing

Michelle Obama a super model, hahahahaha

Oh wait, they found 7 words that were the same in Michelle’s speech? That is all they got? Big deal

The left is showing their desperation again

What did she do? Refer to the audience as, “My homies and home-ettes”?

People need to stop using cliches! They have to think out of the box.

I'm sick of hearing "Having said that" and "The reality is..."

Melania Trump, wife of imminent Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and potential First Lady, faces accusations of plagiarism after several passages in her speech to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland appeared to echo lines from Michelle Obama’s speech to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Denver.

Trump needs to fire the speech writer who helped her.
That person is a traitorous mole.

I believe the plagiarism was done intentionally, and that there was a blatant rickroll at the end of it.

Some twerp probably thought it was a cool joke but it humiliated both of them and overshadowed all the other great speeches last night.

If Melania had a weight problem, stringy hair, stuttered, and had no particular good looks.. they would not be attacking her today.
Since she is pretty, and can hold her own anywhere... on top of being wealthy.... they have to try to bring her down to their respectability level.

Shame them.. embarrass them ... every time anyone wants to talk about this, ask them do they have anything else they could be doing... tell them they are lowering their mentality to the level of those who support hillary. and it’s beneath a decent educated adult. Tell them this went on in elementary and among teenagers.... are they in that category...

Don’t defend this!!! never defend anything to a lefty.... it gives them voice and weakens your stand. Instead of defending... attack!

The problem for me is the Rick rolling part of the speech. Somebody needs to explain themselves on that point. Everyone who cares is off chasing Pokemon right now, but it could resurface later and that would be bad.

This is the left in panic after Melania’s smash hit last night. They’re pathetic especially even thinking Melania would look to Michelle for anything.

Who caught the duplications? Were the media tipped off by the ‘rat mole speech writer?
