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.

Never trump trolls on freerepublic. They love them so Hillary and their dying bush gop
The fact that the similarities were discovered so quickly doesn’t pass the smell test. That could have only occurred if the media was tipped off.
Sarah Hurwitz writes all of Michelle Obama’s speeches.
I think you’re right.
On every network. Never Trump shill Amanda Carpenter loving it.
Exactly..either the speechwriter was paid off or the TelePrompTer programmer
I had to unfollow and block Ben Shapiro. Disgusting Tweets about Melania.
He’s no conservative. He should just come out and admit he’s on Hillary’s payroll.
I missed the part where Melania copied Mooch and said, “For the first time I’m proud of my husband”
That’s not plagiarizing....those aren’t original thoughts...a million people have said the same thing...
You are kidding right?
You can’t grasp the simple point: it is not about how any of us wish to deal with it, it is the MSM that has been given an easy opening for attack. We can’t wish it away now.
You’re not the adult here, you’re being either naive or else wilfully obtuse.
I bet we won’t be seeing or hearing much from Joe Biden until this thing goes away.
A guy on twitter tipped them off. Yes you are correct, it really stinks to high heaven. Who the hell would remember that speech this many years after?

I thought same thing...not sure how fast...but my my my they have a whole research staff on this? Like going thru Palin’s garbage? Or was she set up by a speech writer?

Now I feel soooo bad for not watching it.
I don’t care, this is just for show. Trump is going to crush Clinton like an elephant stepping on a bag of grapes.
I’ll tune in September.
I guess you think Melania better go bake some cookies.
What would Hillary do?
My word is my bond. My word is my bond. Dream, work for it, achieve it. Where have I heard these things before? Oh, I know. Michelle Obama said those things long long ago.
Hurwitz was Hillary’s speechwriter just prior to joining Obama in 2008. I wonder if Hillary ever used the same words.
I have it on very good authority, Michelle Obama did not originate the phrase “your word is your bond”.
Or are you idiot enough to think she owns that phrase?
HOWEVER, Melania did shamelessly plagiarize her closing: “God Bless you and God Bless the United States of America”.
I know for a fact I’ve heard it before.
And do you need me to tell you that’s why there is no such thing as plagiarism of commonly used statements and concepts?
The media knows they can get to Trump through her & his family.
I liked Melania’s speech. The whole first day was filled with comparisons. The selection of the speakers was genius! To weave the comparison from what the left says with forced emotion compared to the true & raw emotion of those wronged, those lives impacted by leftist policies and the last 7 and 1/2 years of incompetence. The hate America crowd compared to the crowd that loves America
Melania’s speech compared to Michelle’s.
What family really embodies these values? Compare. After 7 and 1/2 years, I can say the Obama’s do not.
