I'm sure she was thinking who originality don epp before delivering the speech...but madam din't try at all,because not too long ago her husband Donald Trump has previously attacked Vice President Joe Biden for,
notoriously, plagiarizing a speech from a British politician in 1987,so here is the gist. Melania Trump delivered a rare speech Monday on the first night of
the Republican National Convention about her husband Donald Trump,she
is however being slammed right now for sharing an almost identical
section to first lady Michelle Obama’s Democratic convention speech in
2008.
The presumptive Republican nominee’s wife discussed the hard work
instilled by her parents, treating people with respect, and wanting a
better future for children — which were all apparently things she took
from Michelle Obama’s address.
Melania Trump said in her speech Monday:
From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for
what you want in life. That your word is your bond and you do what you
say and keep your promise. That you treat people with respect. They
taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life. That is a
lesson that I continue to pass along to our son, and we need to pass
those lessons on to the many generations to follow because we want our
children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements
is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.
Michelle Obama’s convention speech in 2008 hit on many of the same themes:
And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you
work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you
do what you say you’re going to do; that you treat people with dignity
and respect, even if you don’t know them, and even if you don’t agree
with them.
And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass
them on to the next generation. Because we want our children — and all
children in this nation — to know that the only limit to the height of
your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to
work for them.
Before taking the stage Monday night, Melania Trump told NBC’s Matt Lauer she wrote the speech.
“I wrote it… with a little help as possible,” she said.
The similarities were first pointed out by Jarrett Hill on Twitter.
Two former Obama staffers said the original author of the lines was
Sarah Hurwitz, a former Obama campaign speechwriter who now works in the
White House as a special assistant to the president.
Former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau said he had “no idea” how the blunder could have happened.
“A stray line or phrase could be a mistake. Two full paragraphs from the
current First Lady is just incomprehensible,” he said. “I can’t believe
someone would do that to her.”
“Michelle’s head speechwriter, used to be Hillary’s,” Favreau tweeted.
“So the Trump campaign plagiarized from a Hillary speechwriter.”
“I’ve had a great record, I haven’t been involved in plagiarism,” Trump said defending herself.
