White House: Melania won't plagiarize Michelle Obama's convention speech this time



By Emily Singer -August 25, 2020 11:10 AM

A spokesperson for Melania Trump said that this year 'every word in this speech' will be her own.

A spokesperson for Melania Trump assured Americans on Tuesday that the first lady's address at the Republican National Convention will not be plagiarized.

Four years ago, Trump plagiarized chunks of Michelle Obama's 2008 Democratic National Convention address, as a side-by-side comparison of the two speeches shows.

This year, said Stephanie Grisham, the former White House press secretary who now serves as a spokesperson for the office of the first lady, Trump's speech will not be stolen from her predecessor.

From a Aug. 25 appearance by Grisham on MSNBC:
