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.
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
She said she wrote the speech “with as little help as possible.” A lot of wiggle room there.
I don’t think MSM will attack her personally; she is too likable and sympathetic. They will attack the Trump campaign, you know the routine — if they can’t get something simple like this right, how can they run the country?
If the speechwriter comes out and falls on his sword, as well he should, this could all go away very quickly.
Looks like somebody is getting fired.
cNN already called Melania a plagiarist..sheesh..who knows they could have sabotaged the teleprompter
If Melania and Manafort were the only two to touch the speech they have a problem for there is no fall guy.
Check out Laura Bush’s 2004 speech, sounds awfully similar to Michelle Obama’s speech..and some online compared Obama’s speech to Duvak Patricks speech..bottom line is EVERYONE copies a little bit here and there from each other to show “Shared values”
yes but there is too much repetition here in a concentrated form to be accidental.... someone was working from Moochelle’s speech as an exemplar and screwed up bad, or else it is sabotage.....or maybe there is a 3rd version from the more distant past that Moochelle also plagiarized.
Doesn't matter. There are FREE plagiarism checkers on the internet. Teachers use them every day. And even if Moochele's speech isn't covered, a former First Lady candidate's speech, and they didn't check it? INSANE
I think set up because they also inserted a rick roll..if you know what is...twitter lit up about it
Plagiarism? Is that like criminal or even treasonous???
“I bet with a little research, someone can find that the paragraph did not originate with Michelle Obama. There is likely an earlier source that Michelle drew from.”
Yes. She should just admit that she copied it...
from Mamie Eisenhower’s speech...
Haha! Good one! CNN is absolutely giddy over this. Kinda like when they sat around chatting about all of Hillary’s lies. Er…wait
My same thought. Trump loves beautiful feminine women like any red-blooded male, and has no lust for narcissistic Anderson Cooper, and Melania is not a tranny look-alike.
They are so jealous of the NATURAL beauty of a TRUE woman and an alpha male like Trump, who wouldn’t look twice at a Justin Bieber so he can’t be bribed.
Yeah I think you should spend from now until November working on this. I think some of you are crazy. Needs to be said.
So, would you rather watch a gorgeous white woman give the speech, or an ugly black man posing a a woman?
Oh snap! Whyyyyy? Now #crookedmelania is trending. She doesn’t know English well enough to have written it, and the hack who did, stole from Mooch’s speech. BUT WHY DID MELANIA SAY SHE WROTE IT ALONE?!
Why couldn’t she have like maybe NOT LIED? Like saying, “You know, my English isn’t strong enough to write a speech alone, but I believe everything I said. It’s all true.”
Proprietary property is protected ,this is not that
This just seems like boilerplate speech filler. However I thought it was funny that there was a Rick-Roll in her speech. I am guessing one of Trump’s sons slipped that in there as a joke.

Two excerpted sentences are kinda similar. Talk about clutching at straws.
