Melania Trump’s highly anticipated speech at the Republican National Convention Monday night appears to have nearly copied a paragraph from Michelle Obama’s speech at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

Unfortunately, this is hitting all the MSM outlets. It’s like a gift for them.
Uh dudes, if you think there will be only two or three examples of people saying their parents raised them to respect others, I can’t help you. There is no copyright on saying your parents instilled you with good values. Further this was less than one percent of the speech.
I’m actually ashamed some here are this weak willed.
Greeting card type stuff...
Like Michelle wrote her own speech.
Shows what the media is, and can we stop calling them the media..they are the DNC..they ALL WORK for the Democrat Party
thats all this boils down to...Melania is drop dead beautiful...half man half woman in there now, not so much.
It doesn’t do any good to play ostrich when a problem arises. It needs to be dealt with effectively.
Except for liberals, who are given a lot more latitude and a lot more 2nd, 3rd, 4th chances.....
I agree it is like those wall plaques with sayings or a support greeting card
Yes it is.
The NeverTrumpers on twitter are trashing her EXACTLY like liberals do..and yet they say they are Conservatives
She didn't. She said she wrote it "with as little help as possible." That could mean anything from very little to a whole lot.
It's quite possible. Melania has been using many of the same sentences in her media interviews for several months relative to raising her son Barron.
The chasm of grace and class between MT and MO is as far as the east is from the west. Even farther!
You don’t understand jack about the MSM. This IS going to be a dominant story for a while and has to be dealt with. Your snide remarks and sneers toward people here will not make it go away. It IS going to distract from all the important ideas and stories, because the MSM and Democrats want it that way.
There is no problem she hit a home run and they know it. Oy I’m so embarrassed by some of us.
There is no such thing as plagiarism as an offense in terms of that phrase in that speech. The issue exists only in weak minds.
Do you honestly think Michelle Obama owns the use of statements that her parents raised her to be honest and respectful?
This nonsense by some of you is pathetic.
This is inexcusable. Melania must be horrified.
Plagiarism plain and simple and INEXCUSABLE. I am so ashamed. Poor Melania.
Grow up. Deal with it by being an adult.
I plagiarized that.
If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it.
Mark Twain but I plagiarize him with impunity.
You don’t know anything about plagiarism, in fact you just “plagiarized” others’ posts tonight. I am deeply offended by you I cannot stand anymore of your plagiarizing.
