Melania Trump is under fire for potentially plagiarizing her GOP convention speech, which she gave last night in Cleveland, Ohio. Trump’s speech highly resembles the one Michelle Obama gave in 2008, and though Trump’s campaign has denied any plagiarism took place, the similarities between the two speeches are obvious.
CNN’s Anderson Cooper reported early this morning on the exact moments of Trump’s speech that were almost identical to Obama’s. You can watch the cuts from Trump and FLOTUS’ speeches here.
