An anecdote from last night.. my sister had watched Melania's "speech" in Cailifornia.. but hadn't heard about the plagiarism when I told her tonight.
She said something didn't set right with her when she heard it.. but, then I read the part that was cribbed and she kept saying .. omg.. omg.. she remembered the part.. said she had thought it was the best part of her speech. lol smh!

(135,425 posts)But I watched it too--and it didn't sound right to me, it DID seem familiar.
Now I know why!

(305,406 posts)Not really something Melania should have recycled for herself.
Another funny story about the plagiarism is the guy who first broke the story. He was an out of work journalist sitting in Starbucks who scooped 170 reporters @ the RNC.
On Melania Trumps plagiarism, a laid-off journalist watching in an L.A. Starbucks scooped everyone
snip//
Mr. Hill, a television journalist who was recently laid off, said in an interview that one of Ms. Trump's lines the words "strength of your dreams" caught his attention as he was watching on his computer from a Starbucks in Los Angeles, juggling Facebook chats and browsing Twitter.
Mr. Hill, 31, found the clip of Mrs. Obama's speech online and noticed that parts of the two speeches sounded the same. He then realized that a larger portion appeared to have been borrowed as he continued to examine both.
"I thought, 'That's legit plagiarism,'" said Mr. Hill, who described himself as a supporter of President Obama. "'Someone took this piece and plugged in their own information.'"
snip//
What's clear is that whoever wrote/copy-pasted Trump's speech figured the journalists covering the convention wouldn't notice. That turned out to be true. But the aide responsible for the speech didn't account for the out-of-work reporter in an L.A. Starbucks.
Jarrett Hill @JarrettHill
Melania mustve liked Michelle Obamas 2008 Convention speech, since she plagiarized it.#GOPConvention #RNCinCLE

(305,406 posts)The ol trumpsters asked for this... they could have just as easily stuck to Melania's story and not stole part of Michelle's.
This is what you get when you get when you go after Michelle..

(6,444 posts)So an off-duty journalist is the one that catches the similarities and plagiarism because all the on-duty journalists were not doing their jobs and wanted Melania to have a good night!
So awesome that it backfired on the Trumps, the RNC, & the Media! AWESOME!
Cha
(305,406 posts)must have been so fascinated by Melania's "inspiring words".. they didn't ring a bell from 8 years ago @ the DNC by one Michelle Obama.
It took a sharp laid off tv reporter who is also an Obama supporter to catch on really fast!
So glad it went down the way it did.. 'cause Michelle won the first night and the savage repubs are on the defensive.
Mahalo, Her Sister~ cnn actually did a good job on this.. what's up?!

Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)I thought it shows how much Melania admires Michele Obama. I was told that was not the reason. The RWers denied the plagiarism, I said the lines was shown side by side and definitely happened. They praised her speech and said the speech was great. I told them it should have been admitted from the start but the Trump campaign would always deny this, it will continue.

(305,406 posts)this concocted story is true.. but, it's documented as such so the deniers can take it up with trump!
