DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Tbh they're both pretty general statements. But Michelle said it better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwontell 7,312 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Tbh, those statements are pretty general and expect in these events...they're also kind of, you know, that heap of BS that "simple" ppl fall for, so why even fight about it...? ATTENTION: (bad) jokes and sarcasm are still a thing, so don't take everything I say literally. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 That particular part of the speech was about keeping your word, honesty and values...and she plagerized it! Every university, hell...high school in the US would deem this as plagerism. 22 words out of 26 words that Melania spoke were taken directly from Michelle Obama's speech. In the other passage 29 words were identical with six words being slightly changed. There is no doubt that this speech was lifted directly from Michelle's 2008 DNC speech.

Shadow 6,697 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Maybe she used the the same speech writer and got lazy? Seems like they're not even trying to be original... Stand in the light, cast your shadow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, but her speech also contained a rick roll. This was intentional, she didn't write it(at least not the gist of it).
