Another laughed, “I would like to thank Mr Copy and Mr Paste for their on going efforts…” One also predicted what Trump supports would say. “’Michelle Obama uses a speechwriter, so she’s basically no better than Melania’ is coming. Just wait. #BeckyWithTheBorrowedSpeech”

One educator said Melania should be punished on a deeper level.
“I’ve had students receive far worse consquences for plagiarizing far fewer lines than Melania did.”

But of course it was not all bad for Melania. There were a few supports who spoke out on her behalf. One said there is a huge difference between her speech and Michelle’s. “Melania means it.” The same tweeter added, “Too bad Melania didn’t speak about spending tens of millions in taxpayer dollars on vacations. Now THAT would have been plagiarism. #smh”
