From Nasty Woman To Evil Kermit: The Most Viral Moments Of 2016
Melania Steals from Michelle
In July of 2016, after the Republican National Convention, it was revealed that much of Melania Trump’s speech was plagiarized from Michelle Obama’s 2008 Democratic National Convention speech. At first, the Trump campaign claimed Melania wrote the speech herself with Melania telling Matt Lauer, “I read once over it and that’s all. Because I wrote it … with as little help as possible.”
Of course, this took off on the Internet and hundreds of hilarious memes were created. It’s kind of crazy that the Trump campaign railed so hard against the Obamas and yet they stole material from one of their speeches! It really is pretty funny. But also terrifying and worrisome.
