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.

She should tell them it wasn’t intentional.
Melania said the USA is the greatest
Doesn’t sound like the same speech at all.
Not to mention, this time, a real female gave the speech.
I could be wrong, I suppose. But the comment has festered here for years I must admit.
I was proud when I volunteered and was accepted for military duty in service to the country.
I spit on anything the Mooch is proud of, as it is nothing if not contributing to the demise of our nation, whereas we all who took the oath swore to defend it with our lives.
These phrases are common. Used by everyone.
Twitter is blowing up over it. I guess the bastard who did this got their laughs and a big payday from Hillary
Each person selected to speak, was incredibly important to the theme of the evening. Important for people to see the individuals impacted by the leadership of the last 7and1/2 years! How the policies of Obama & Clinton made America unsafe. That the left does not love America!
It’s only plagiarism if you can prove intent. No reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.
You can’t plagerize ideas. The words would have to be identical.
This is the best the MSM can do?
Twitter is going insane over this. It is brutal.
Hillary couldn’t pass the DC bar. Bill’s connections in Arkansas got her admitted there. She was a female quota filler at Yale law and obviously didn’t learn much.
Most of the social media twits don’t even know the difference between Slovenia (Melania’s birthplace) and Slovakia.
Melania speaks how many languages? Which of the brilliant Democrat women speaks more than 1?
What’s wrong with being a model?
Oh stfu..these are universal goals, dreams, experiences
Either saboteur or a lazy writer. It’s a very generic non specific paragraph so someone approving it would not think it was a complete lifting of a prior speech.
Trump camp needs to deal with this asap. It’s not the end of the world but it is a momentum killer and unforced error.
Kind of a genius move for DJT. If the media thinks their attack on the Trump family over THIS PARAGRAPH is going to lose him votes, they’re playing right into his hands.
Voters won’t care, they’ll see the media ripping a nice, beautiful woman.
Go for it, media.
If I’m the speechwriter, I’m saying. “Yeah, I borrowed a little of that. I just wanted to hear what it would sound like delivered by an actual woman.”
What?
So maybe she should be vice president.
22 out of 26 words are identical. It was copied.
The only question is who did it?
Unfortunately, Melania is on record saying she wrote most of the speech with only a little help.
Some Sick sick person did this to her is my guess.
That appalling statement was made at a campaign rally in Madison, Wisconsin on February 18, 2008.
Michelle Obama Takes Heat for Saying She's 'Proud of My Country' for the First Time
ALL speech writers take little snippets from other speeches. Michelle Obama didnt write her own speech, someone else wrote it for her, same here..you take snippets from other great speeches and work it into your speech I really dont get the big deal, except with the DNC, I mean the news media, they are SO hell bent on making sure their messiah Hillary Clinton wins they will do EVERYTHING possible to destroy Melania Trump who did WONDERFULLY
Ooooooh Nooooes! Twitter! I’m ascared, I’M ASCARED!
