on 8 october 2016, melania trump released a statement concerning the release of a tape containing offensive remarks her husband donald trump had made about women back in 2005:


































the words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me. this does not represent the man that i know. he has the heart and mind of a leader. i hope people will accept his apology, as i have, and focus on the important issues facing our nation and the world.


































shortly after melania trump released her statement, an image began circulating on facebook suggesting that her remarks were a near verbatim copy of a statement released by hillary clinton in 1998 concerning her husband bill clinton’s relationship with white house intern monica lewinsky:


































while the statement from melania trump is real, the one from hillary clinton is not. we found no record of the former first lady’s issuing such a statement on 8 december 1998, or at any other time.


































this image was simply a political barb aimed at mocking melania trump over an earlier plagiarism scandal and/or mocking hillary clinton by suggesting that her husband had engaged in the same type of behavior as melania trump’s husband had.


































we have big plans. we need your help.
