A Republican convention crowd just cheered and applauded the words of Michelle Obama,
b/c someone else mouthed them.

Side by side: Michelle Obama ’08 and Melania Trump ’16.
(h/t @jarretthill who caught this).

The split screen of Melania reading lines plagiarized from Michelle Obama is so, so damaging.

Here's the statement the Trump campaign released overnight on the Melania/Michelle speech similarities.

1. This needs to stay in the press...

It's a pattern of fraudulent behavior that they just tried to pull over the American people's eyes on national television. NO MORE.

2. Rudy and Chachi join forces

3. Boilerplate vacuous speechifying sounds the same no matter who does it. n/t

4. Utterly disgusting.

5. Melania's "team of writers?"

Per Melania, she wrote the speech "mostly" herself. http://heavy.com/news/2016/07/melania-trump-plagiarized-plagiarism-speech-rnc-michelle-obama-republican-national-convention-wrote-herself-video-watch/

She's either a liar or a plagiarist. Perhaps both.
