Melania Trump's Convention Speech Faces Accusations Of Plagiarism by Enapesunday(m): 7:15am On Jul 19, 2016 |
Donald Trump's wife, Melania, took centre stage
on the first night of the Republican National
Convention amid accusations that a portion of
her speech was plagiarised.
Commentators noticed similarities between her
remarks and an earlier speech by Michelle
Obama.
It was Mrs Trump's first major speech in what
she called her husband's "unlikely" campaign.
Mrs Trump has reportedly been working with a
professional speechwriter.
"He's tough when he has to be but he's also
kind and fair and caring," Mrs Trump said of her
husband.
"The kindness is not always noted, but it's there
for all to see. That is one reason I fell in love with
him to begin with."
Mrs Trump, a former model who was born in
Slovenia, has kept a lower profile compared with
other spouses of major candidates.
Mr Trump's adult children have filled the role
usually inhabited by the candidate's wife.
Mrs Trump's mostly personal speech contrasted
with the night's other speakers who spoke about
"making America safe again".
"If you want someone to fight for you and your
country, I can assure you, he is the guy," Mrs
Trump said touching on the theme.
A wide range of speakers, including a county
sheriff, a decorated combat veteran and a former
model, told stories of military service, urban crime
and the dangers of illegal immigration.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and
Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton took aim at
presumptive Democratic nominee State Hillary
Clinton, questioning her judgement in foreign
affairs.
"Who would trust Hillary Clinton to protect
them?" said Mr Giuliani, whose rousing speech
fired up the crowd at the Quicken Loans Arena in
Cleveland, Ohio. "I wouldn't."
Many Republican party leaders - such as Ohio
Governor John Kasich whose state is hosting the
convention - have decided not to attend this
year's festivities, turned off by Mr Trump's
controversial stances on immigration and foreign
policy.
Mr Trump has called for a ban on Muslims
entering the US and also advocated deporting
almost 11 million undocumented immigrants.
A speech by Wisconsin police sheriff David Clarke
strongly defended police officers in the wake of
the deadly shooting in Baton Rouge, which killed
three officers over the weekend.
"Blue lives matter!" Mr Clarke said to huge cheers
from the delegates in the convention hall.
The killings prompted Mr Trump to say the
country was falling apart - a claim strongly
disputed by President Barack Obama.
Earlier, anti-Trump delegates failed in their final
push to block Mr Trump's nomination.
The vote that would have allowed delegates to
back a candidate of their choice was quashed
when three states reportedly backed out.
Some said the Republican Party officials had
sabotaged their efforts on purpose.
The push was the last gasp for those who hope
to see a different Republican candidate get the
nomination. |
