I'd like to ask that anyone who voices their opinion or votes in the poll to please watch the video first.
There is, without a doubt, going to be overlap in inspirational speeches. We can find overlap with some of the words of Gandhi, a non-Christian, with the words in our the Holy Bible. People quote Martin Luther King Jr, Abraham Lincoln, and other significant figures in history because the message they said simply couldn't be said any better. However, we can't fail to give recognition to the person we quote from or we run the risk of being called out for this. Joe Biden might know a thing or two about this.
However, watching the side-by-side video of the speeches, I find Melania's speech uncomfortably "similar" to Michelle's speech. I watched her speak live yesterday, and it wasn't until earlier today that I saw reports accusing Melania plagiarizing Michelle's speech.
Was Melania's speech coincidentally identical, almost verbatim, in certain areas? Is any criticism of how strikingly similar her speech is to Michelle's speech legitimate or are the phrases so far off from being even remotely similar/plagiarized?
