Ohio Rep. Joyce Beatty "Plagiarizes" Melania Trump's Dress
----------------------------------------------------------

Ohio Congressmember Joyce Beatty also appeared to take a jab at the
Trumps on Thursday when she took the DNC stage wearing the exact same
off-white dress with billowing sleeves that Melania Trump wore when she
gave her speech at the RNC in Cleveland last week. This fashion
"plagiarism" mocked Melania Trump plagiarizing parts of Michelle Obama
speech from the 2008 DNC speech. Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. is accusing
President Obama of having plagiarized a line from his speech at the RNC
last week. Both men used the phrase "That's not the America I know."
However, well before the RNC, President Obama has used some variant of
the phrase "the America I know" or "not the America I know" on multiple
occasions. Former President George W. Bush also used this phrase.
