Washington Free Beacon: Melania Trump 2016 and Michelle Obama 2008 side-by-side
Update: CNN: Manafort denies any plagiarism. There are lines that are word for word, which seems more than mere coincidence, but as plagiarism goes it is not that big a deal.
Paul Manafort says John Kasich wrote the speech— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) July 19, 2016
RedState: Plagiarized? We all know these speeches are written for the wives (as well as the candidates) so the blame probably goes to a speech writer and failure to double check it. It's a bit embarrassing but if true, but staff should be fact checking (they have programs to do this now).
Plagiarism? Please. The real story is the stark contrast Melania Trump drew between herself and Michelle Obama: https://t.co/b22SnkZRKB— John Hinderaker (@jhinderaker) July 19, 2016
To be fair, Trump plagiarizes Democrats all the time, and they haven't complained much about that before.— servative (@servative) July 19, 2016
