So they are admitting that she or her speechwriters used Michelle Obama’s speech as inspiration?
Wonder how the libs will react to that?
I had no idea that Michelle was from Slovenia.
I am pretty sure I heard Melania say, “For the first time in my life I am proud of my country,” tonight, right?
Or am I hearing things?
We all work, we all dream p, we all try to make our dreams come true and we all try to pass on those qualities on to our children.
Malaria did an excellent job.
On Twitter people have spliced the two speeches to play at the same time and they are too identical not to have been plagiarism. I am dismayed at FReepers who accept wrongdoing if it’s our guy. Is the other side less moral and good? Definitely. Does that mean we can lie and steal? No.
Stop making excuses, those here who are. This was wrong and we should make it right.
Someone needs to come clean that this was a steal and a head should roll.
Poor Melania, who trusted Donald’s speech writers. I feel so bad for her. I’m sure she had no idea or she wouldn’t have said it.
It’s pretty funny, actually. The Democrats can’t very well criticize the contents of Melania’s speech, if it sounds like Michelle’s Obama’s! By putting the one sentence in that’s the same, they assure that everyone will go back and listen to Michelle Obama’s speech for reinforcement of its words and content and will sound foolish in the extreme if they consider criticizing the very same platitude-filled speech from Melania.
Has slow Joe ‘Neil Kinnock’ Biden weighed in yet?
...and...
I found more.
Maybe Michelle O stole from George Herbert Walker's letter ??
if you use the same speech template,
you likely get the same speech.
the same worn out clichés,
are herd at every commemcement
Melania for vice president!
Note: Our beloved vice president Biden admitted to plagiarism in law school(!), but insisted it was not ‘malevolent.’ He claimed that he just didn’t know the rules for citing references (in law school!) Sounds like hillary. He considered the attention being given to his multiple plagiarized speeches to be “much ado about nothing.”
Now he’s a heartbeat away from the presidency. What a country!
This statement doesn’t seem to address the plagiarism claim other than to say that, as expected, Melania did not write the speech herself.
With all due respect to Mrs Trump, the speech and ideas were fairly trite. Any second-rate speech writer might spew out this rather cliched stuff. To state some common ideas in common ways doesn’t require a lot of original thought. To call it plagiarism elevates Mrs Obama’s speech in a way it simply doesn’t deserve.
It’s not exactly “I Have A Dream” or “Tear Down This Wall.”
Sue those friggin speech writers into oblivion. They set her up.
however, Melinia was beautiful in a couture dress and the wookie on her best day couldn’t begin to measure up
Melinia is real
the wookie is synthetic
It’s interesting how those making a big deal out of this are also the same ones who think deleting 30,000+ emails, and continuously lying about it is a non-issue.
Just waking up to this piece of news. Without facts or details, my first thought is ‘ who loaded the teleprompter?’
It’s been that type of election season.
They stole Michelle Obama’s words from throughout her speech...... “the”, “is”, “and”, “my”, there are so many I just can’t list them all! /s
The lines are very clearly taken from Michelle’s speech. Any claim to the contrary is as egregious as any lie told my Hillary Clinton.
Trump campaign taking responsibility for it would have been a better route.
