People all over the internet are blasting Melania Trump for her speech this week at the Republican National Convention, claiming that she took whole paragraphs from Michelle Obama’s 2008 speech at the Democratic National Convention.

The “similarities” were originally noticed by Jarret Hill, a journalist with Huffington Post:

It wasn’t long before several other people pointed out the nearly identical parts via Twitter as well:

Melania Told NBC news she wrote the speech with “as little help as possible.”

Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s campaign manager blames Hillary Clinton for the entire situation, stating:

“When Hillary Clinton is threatened by a female, the first thing she does is try to destroy the person.”
