Liberals Accuse Melania Of Plagiarizing Speech, They Forgot This One Important Detail Everyone is going crazy of Melania Trumps speech at the Republican National Convention. Many Republicans loved it because it was a great and inspiring speech. Democrats are going crazy for a different reason, because they think that she stole some lines from Michelle Obamas speech in 2008. You can check out the video below. However, this is all pretty misleading. First of all, the lines she stole were all very generic lines that have been used in speech after speech. In fact, Obama was accused of stealing a Clinton speech in 2008. Obama called the attack absurd. Obamas response was, Ive written two books. I wrote most of my speeches. I would add that I noticed Senator Clinton, on occasion, has used words of mine as well. Obama has also been caught stealing words from various candidates including John Edwards in the clip below. Trumps campaign has denied that Melania stole her speech from Michelle Obama. They pointed out the absurdity of doing that. All that matters is that she made a great speech from her own perspective. You can check out the full speech below. Her speech starts about 2 minutes in.
