Source : NY Daily News
Melania Trumps speech wasnt stolen from Michelle Obama, just lifted from My Little Pony.
Republican National Committee chief strategist Sean Spicer attempted Tuesday to shrug off accusations of plagiarism leveled against GOP presidential nominee Donald Trumps wife by trying to prove that phrases from her speech are so pedestrian theyre used in the popular throwback cartoon as well as by singers John Legend and Kid Rock.
We had a 2,000-word statement, were talking about 70 words, three passages. And this idea of plagiarism, if we want to talk about lets talk about, Spicer said on CNN.
Melania Trump said: The strength of your dreams and willingness to work for them. Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony said: This is your dream. Anything you can do in your dreams you can do now.

(45,020 posts)1. They're pathetic and their truthiness problem is not going away
It is clearly, without a doubt, plagiarism
and all their squirming and deceptions just
makes it worse. They are getting all the
ridicule and condemnation they deserve.

"There is not a White America or a Black America there is the United States of America." Some jackass stole that line last night.

(150 posts)3. Poorly edited NYDailyNews article. Quote not John Legend's?
When I open the link to the NYDailyNews article:
Somehow I doubt the quote in the last paragraph is from John Legend. Attribution reverts back to Spicer?
