By most accounts, Melania Trump’s speech top the GOP Convention was a success – until charges flew that she had plagiarized a speech given by Michelle Obama to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. First noted on Twitter by Jarrett Hill, a small portion of Melania’s speech bore a strong resemblance to Michelle’s. Here is a side-by-side comparison:

The popular Biden must have noticed the similarity of phrasing.
It was truly an honor to introduce my wife, Melania. Her speech and demeanor were absolutely incredible. Very proud!
Anything to nitpick.
I suppose no future non-Dem speaker will ever be able to say something like “God Bless America” without being accused of plagiarism.
...and the left accuses Trump of being a misogynist??? It appears to me that the TRUE misogynists are Hillary’s employees (the marxist media) and their fellow travelers in the demorat party.
It’s way too close to be a coincidence. Especially the part about your “word being your bond”. I’ve never heard anyone else say that.
Should have been much better vetted. Amateur mistakes.
So my brother in law plagiarized Michelle when he was inducted into his college’s athletic hall of fame? He also stated that he learned the value of hard work from his parents. Good grief-it’s not as though it’s a novel statement.
Large parts of the speeches during resemble each other quite a bit, but this story has no traction beyond a few obscure liberal political news outlets.
THAT folks, THAT RAHT THAR.
THAT is why Trump will win this election. He studied Alinksy too (albiet probably recently)!
Did Melania say that it was the first time she’s been proud of her country? I must have missed that.
After watching the convention last night, and especially Melania, it was really a shock to see video of Hillary this morning. I knocked the coffee off the table panically grabbing for the remote.

Melania Trump's message was conveyed by an obvious legal immigrant who became an American and was very PROUD of it.
Attacking Donald has NOT worked. There new tactic is to go after Melania.
That won't work either.
Melania is a woman of "likeability". Moochelle likeable?... NOT so much.
**************************
LOL!! Agreed.
Everyone says their parents tell them good things and how to behave. Of course we wouldn’t know ‘cause most of us don’t want to hear anything from Shelly. The Dems are stretching and jealous. Melania was great and NOTHING AT ALL LIKE THE WITCH IN THE WHITE HOUSE. Geez.
This is brilliant, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was intentional. The main stream media now has us comparing Melania to Michelle! I say bring it!
As for the plagiarism accusation I am not sure. However, if you superimpose one speech over the other and contrast each point, the Trumps come across a lot better.
From a media management standpoint, deliberately inserting a phrase from Mrs Obama would create controversy and hence more attention to the rest of the speech several days later as the stories life cycle progresses and,hence, its positive message).
People may still be talking about it next week. Co-incidence?
My bet would be that this is just another reverse-Alinsky.
I guess I’d make a terrible leftist, because even though I see that part of Melania’s speech was a little too similar to Moochie’s, I remembered that Trump’s wife isn’t running for President. Not even “co-President”, like the witch in 1992 did.
So (to plagiarize somebody else), at this point, what difference does it make?
What are you referring to, “mail order bride”? Are you suggesting that Melania Trump is a mail order bride? Why would you say that?
It’s bait. The Trump campaign wants the MSM and Dems to attack Mrs. Trump. Manafort is already going after Hillary for the attacks and blaming her directly. I believe it was planned.
