Melania Trump’s speech during the first night of the Republican National Convention drew deep criticism from both the right and the left when it was revealed that she lifted parts of her speech directly from First Lady Michelle Obama’s speech at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Almost instantly, comparison videos of the two women’s speeches went viral.
While the similarities were no doubt cringe-worthy, they seem to be drawing a bit too much flak from some on the left. Michele Obama, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden have all faced charges of plagiarism in their careers. Biden’s run-in with the issue even imploded his own 1988 presidential bid.
So it seems a bit odd that liberal talking heads are lambasting Melania Trump for doing something that the left’s favorite four have all done themselves.
Read about Hillary, Biden, and Mrs. Obama’s plagiarized speeches on the next page:
No one owns words. But the Dem. love to think they do. While the will shout in your face or tell you to just listen to them and keep your mouth shut they are telling you all about their freedom of speech. But if your opinion is different than theirs they will shut you down or scream in your face to shut you down. Little Nazis are what they are conditioned since childhood by their parents and then school and then college by the liberals.
Pretty sad you guys are more worried about this than all the other more important stuff going on in the country… I’d be more worried about the fall of this country than some borrowed words from a speech. Pretty sad
Much ado about nothing.
Mechell Obama does not own the part of the speach they say was copied! Seems that Elizabeth Dole’s speach was very similar so did mrs Obama copy it from her.
It happens….Remember Obama borrowing some lines from Duvall Patrick in 2006…..Oops but he’s…..above the law! Borrowing lines is common practice in politics….no big deal…. and the speech writer should Not Resign…just be more careful next time!
It’s ACTIONS that count and NOT words….7 1/2 years of watching the “ACTIONS” play out!
She is a liar!!
just complaining cause Donald Won and will e President….
Everybody has. They’re just nit picking. Sick of hearing about it
