melania's longest word match was 23. so is there any other way for the trump folks to surrender and explain this as to saying okay, this was a mistake by a lazy script writer? >> i have no other explanation except for that. i mean i think it's inexcusable. i think they have hurt melania and mr. trump in the process and it's bad staff work. >> for people that were concerned about how trump will serve the american people. yesterday was about make america safe again, today is about make melania safe again. if he would allow this to happen to his wife at the biggest night for him about her how will people believe he will be careful about dotting the is and crossing the ts. >> i have every belief he's furious about. >> it we know there was a dissent by certain delegates who were trying to call for this roll call and they feel as part of the never-trump crowd they were squashed and extinguished. we know last night actor scott b by a o baio, he's not so much talking about party unity after an interview with tamron hall when it

the speech by melania trump under scores that. i agree that this does not effect any iota and will mobilize supporters more. to the people he need to broaden appeal to. they are like wait a minute. the clinton campaign is talking about how fraudulent he is. what is he hiding? now they are seeing melania's speech is taken? he did not write "the art of the deal" and claims he did. now we see she did not write her speech and claims she did. >> we made a compilation of the tone last night pre-melania speech. listen. >> i blame hillary clinton personally for the death of my son. >> had she done her job that night, we would not have had to compromise. ty, glen, sean and ambassador stevens would be alive today. >> my son, sergeant mendoza was killed two-year ago by an illegal alien who was a repeat criminal. every one of the crimes he committed have laws that should have resulted in court-mandated jail to time. a vote for hillary is putting all of our children's lives at risks. >> who would trust hillary clinton to protect them? i wouldn

melania trump has even done a aflac commercial. >> melania, to your left! >> reporter: mrs. trump has also distinguished herself as a socialite, involved in high profile charities, including the american red cross and love our children usa. as first lady, her language skills might come in handy too. on the diplomatic front. she's fluent in five -- >> it would not be a trump contest without excitement and drama. >> reporter: tonight her diplomatic skills on full display. >> ladies and gentlemen, donald j. trump is ready to serve and lead this country as the next president of the united states. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: making the case not for herself, but for her husband who couldn't have been prouder. >> i'm david wright for "nightline" in new york. >>> next here, a fresh round of bad blood between taylor swift and kanye west. what kim kardashian west did that brought this long simmering feud to a furious boil. >>> abc news "nightline," brought to you by volkswagen. yol year end clarence event, you can get a great deal on this 2016 passat. steve. yeah? clarence is

takes from melania trump some observations, melania trump, i think it's charming this explanation thatspeech and sent it along and without the quotation marks which you as a writer, you sam as a writer would put in note taking so that you knew that these are direct quotes. >> right. >> not just thoughts. and concepts and so, macgyver takes these as melania's wishes and thinks they are her writings. the rest is history. >> totally fine. before sam and i were waiting off camera and i thought, is it tuesday? because -- i mean, this isn't the explanation that makes sense that we all expected at some level, some kind of explanation yesterday. we had total radio silence, paul manafort saying it was a hillary clinton idea, the media, the media -- michelle obama used these words, and then melania trump used them. somehow that happened. >> chris christie -- >> and this explanation makes sense. right? totally get it. why wasn't it out yesterday? >> and sam, chris christie on the "today" show yesterday said, 93% of the speech was hers. >> worst explanation of all time. >> first of all, they were

but melania trump's

what's your take on melania trump?> well, one of the things that i've heard and our sources that are connected with the campaign is that she's actually a fan of michelle obama's. >> really? > and she has seen some ofome these speeches in preparing her own and that some of that information, things that resonated with her then got transferred over to a speech writer and the speech writer assumed it was her words, not michelle's words and it wasn't changed enough.enou >> so that's an explanation. and i got to say of all the explanations it's the one that works best p for them for sure. because then you could understand that she likes michelle. she reads michelle's speech. she sends it over and the speech writer assumes it's herself. >> the democrats and republicans have gone after michelle. > a lot of talk, havey -- it's tricky. > there was the intro that donald trump made.don we saw the smoke, we heard weead are the champions, butut apparently they're not too happy about it.a queen doesn't like this? queen doesn't like i

paul manafort said melania did not plagiarize. chris christie said sure she plagiarized but just 7% of the speech. then you heard what phil mattingly reported about reince priebus, he said, i'd fire the speech writer. nobody is on the same page here apparently. pncht >> yeah. it takes a while. but i think by the end of the day everyone will be on the same page with mr. trump leading the charge. >> but the question is why aren't they on the same page now? these allegations came out hours and hours ago. they came out last night. >> i mean, i actually saw some postings now that came out before her speech when they released a copy of her speech, people already -- these phrases that were identical to michelle obama's speech. obviously there was really really really poor staff work. >> poor staff work. so what does that say about the trump campaign? >> it sounds like they need better staff. >> this late in the game? >> well, luckily it's, you know, july, not november. the campaign that they've run, you know has not been perfect by any s

melania trump's speech was very positive.the night, somewhat negative, a darker theme for the night about the dangers america faces but then melania trump had the most positive, optimistic message of the night. >> we'll hear from some of his kids tonight and also chris kooes christie. what do you think we'll hear tonight? are they under more scrutiny tonight? >> you can imagine the speech writers are going to be googling every single sentence of the speeches that are scheduled in the next day or two. but the point, i think, of melania's speech and the point of the other speeches will be to humanize and personalize donald trump. there was one line that was revealing. she said that sometimes you don't always know it but this is a very kind man. they feel like their father, husband, friend has been maligned by the press and democrats and they have a really opportune time here to change that. they're in front of 30, 40, 50 million viewers, this is the only time they're going to get to talk about their father, their husband, their

he is here to introduce his wife, melania.will have more to say than just that. melania trump is the headline speaker tonight, being showcased at this convention, along with trump's children, to reveal more about his personal side. a carefully planned celebration but was briefly sidetracked earlier today. ant anti-trump delegates tried to force what could have been an embarrassing protest vote. it was a remarkable show of some of the party's division. we're seeing this play out from a unique perspective. double decker studio. i'll be here and wolf blitzer is on the ground level studio. >> nation is on edge after police officers were gunned down in batten sbrunlg dallas and after the third terror attack in france in 18 months. tonight former new york city mayor rudy giuliani and other speakers will drive home tonight's basic theme, make america safe again. there will be lighter moments as well at this unconventional convention. we'll see an eclectic mix of trump supporters, from everyday americans to tv personalities. speaking

you fact check everything including melania's speech. >> how do you explain melania trump if they can't that on liberal media? what is it? >> i'm not the liberal media. i'm a conservative. but for gosh sakes, can we call a fact a fact? and the fact is she lifted words tr michelle obama. don't blame it on the liberal media when ma.lan ya did it herself. >> i haven't done that, first of all, but no one on this panel -- no, no, okay, amanda, you want to deal in facts. no one on this panel is denying that those words are lifted. we are saying did she herself take those words or, as we know, all speech res written, with the exception of donald trump who doesn't use a tell prompter for the most part, did a speech writer take those words and -- >> and she denied it as first and then he had to -- >> i want to do some more analysis. i do. >> oh, my gosh. >> thank you. >> this is the first time i've seen you this contrite, andy. but go ahead. mark. >> this is a moment, by the way. >> this is a moment. >> he's just sitting there. >> let us just say what has happened, where we are and where we're g

melania trump didn't like it. they turned to a woman, former ballet dancer, she had her hand on it inside. the question is was it melania trump, ms. mcgiver who did cut and paste and didn't change it or just attribute it. they're doing the forensic analysis internally. why are they telling us we're nuts? >> the thing that has people so perplexed for a speech as important as the speech that is delivered by the nominee's spouse this has to be an operation that is completely flawless. and wrong by one person. someone writes a draft and maybe you bring in multiple people to go through the speech with a fine tooth comb. it appears there were outside people involved in writing the speech as well as multiple people within the campaign who are now doing the finger pointing of it wasn't me, it wasn't me. i think that lack of organization is really remarkable. >> and i can report, too, that jared kushner, donald trump's son-in-law told the two former bush speech writers he liked the draft that was submitted and that, you kn

the trump campaign defending melania trump's speech this morning saying melania's team of writers tookotes on her own life inspirations and included fragments that reflected her own thinking. kendis and diane, back to you. >> all right, a lot o stephanie ramos live in cleveland, thank you. >>> okay, so as she mentioned it did set off a flurry of criticisms on social media. all over the place. for a more in-depth look we want to play the lines in question. i guess there were two of them side by side. the first lady's speech. take a listen. >> both: raised with so many of the same values -- >> that you work hard for what you want. >> you work hard for what you want. >> that your work is your bond. >> that your word is your bond. >> that you keep your promise. >> that you treat people -- >> with respect. >> with the dignity and respect even if you don't know them and even if you don't agree with them. and barack and i set out to build lives guided by these value s and to pass them on the next generation because we want all children in this nation to know that the only limits of the height

it's embarrassing to melania who gave a great speech. to take action is completely the wrong steps to take. i can assure you on the ted cruz campaign, if this has happened, someone's head would have been rolling out the door by midnight last night. and also the fact, you know exactly who writes those speeches, you know exactly who tracks the changes. if someone goes into the speech and changes a period to a comma, you know who does the changes. they know exactly the entire process from start to finish who wrote this, and that perp should absolutely be held accountable. >> are they making it worse now? >> first i would say in all the years i ran for office, i wish i could find a supermodel to say all the nice things about me. she gave a fantastic speech, class, dignity, grace exactly what you'd want out of a first lady. >> no one disputing that part. >> totally overshadowed by this turning into a fiasco and dominating the news cycle where there was so many great points of the convention yesterday that we're not talking about at all. they'

trump writing it was truly an honor to introduce my wife melania. her speech and demeanor were absolutely incredible. very proud. she didn't show up for the unveiling of the v.p., mike pence. we are learning it wasn't because she was just with their ten-year-old son elsewhere but it was her way of protesting frustrations within the family feeling like trump was pushed into a decision he wasn't ready to make. >> all right. peter alexander giving us the latest. we learned that melania didn't want to give the speech at the convention. we learned she didn't show up for the mike pence announcement. we are joined by katy tur who is live in new york city. you have been covering the trump campaign from day one. following the trump campaign where people thought she did a beautiful job from her heart speaking for the first time in front of 35 million people, but then there's a lot of controversy. what are people inside saying? >> well, i talked to campaign sources this morning. they told me melania didn't necessarily want to do this speech last flighnight. th

>> yeah -- >> you can't fire melania trump. >> you cannot fire melania trump.k as a speech writer, if i had done something this egregious, i would have expected to be fired. i think that would make a lot of sense. at the same time, if melania trump says she wrote the speech and she is the one who wrote it, you can't fire your future first lady. so i do think she can apologize. i think that sometimes, let's say this is just a mistake, then say we made a mistake and we'll make sure it doesn't happen again. that's what i would have expected. >> brooke, i would just offer that, were i a student in college and i turned in a paper with 22 out of 29 words matching and these kinds of things, we would not be having the same conversation about my college career. so it's just kind of interesting to me that this happens in this way and it is like, oh, well -- the way that they're framing it is like, oh, she -- it just kind of happened that way. it's like, when does it ever just kind of happen this way? it's kind of ridiculous. >> i don't know. i don't know. are you going t

in this case, it is melania. part of it is, the whole point of this week was to do two things, show the party is unified and talk about unity. you saw it 4m p.m. on the floored. the other point is to show that there is more to him that the public doesn't see. what are we going to be talking about on day two of this convention, none of that. >> does it mat terrorist folks? >> probably doesn't matter to people who came into this for donald trump. it's not adding anyone. this doesn't help. >> we will see more trump families so they'll all be under a level of scrutiny. >> i 52 minutes into day two. we are going to happily land it back uptears to you guy jacob, joy, kelly. something kelly said is kind of part of the big buy in journalism and pol makes that we do our part in perpetuating. name the speech and the aides say president worked on the speech pimz. we always just suck that up because there's often a still photo of said president with a sharpie could be drawing. you nknow. >> particularly for big night speeche

melania spoke spo frfrom the he. she wanted to talk about trump as her partner in life and the father of her child and the other children, as well. so i think it was a very gracious message from someone who has not been in the political spotlight in the past, who is not craving the attention, but is really out there specifically for supporting her husband and showing the type of man and type of temperament that donald trump has. >> not easy to get up on that stage in front of so many people. david, speaking of not creating attention, the opposite of that, you see donald trump last night, first time the convention and almost like a wwe event. you go out there to the big song, "we are the champions." he knows how to get that attention. >> he sure does. you don't spend as much time as he has in television producing a successful television show year after year and not know what people want and how to get attention to the things you see as important. and donald trump knows that his wife is a huge asset. and he was going t

be the ones who worked with melania on this. as of now, it does not look like though anybody, at least at the moment, is going to be feeling the wrath, publicly, for this mess-up. >> katie tur in new york, halle jackson, big thanks to both of you. mike pence has taken the stage at american conservative union, keeping a very close eye on what the presumptive nominee's number two is saying. we'll keep a close eye on that. right now i want to bring in katrina pearson, national spokesperson for the campaign. good to see you, thanks so much for stopping my. >> thank you. >> i want to play something that cory lewandowski, campaign manager of donald trump, this is something that he said just last hour on cnn. take a listen. >> the staff didn't vet the speech properly based on the larger picture, what she wanted to talk about the narrative she put together. >> how do you feel about -- >> is this manafort's problem? >> i think it's whoever's in charge of the convention. this is clearly an issue that should be resolved immediately, swiftl

and that was before melania's headline-making speech. here was the scene yesterday. >> the question is on adoption of the resolution. all those in favor say aye. >> aye. >> all those opposed no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it, and the resolution is agreed to. without objection the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. >> point of order. point of order. point of order. >> at one point the entire colorado delegation took the extraordinary step of walking out of the convention altogether. and ultimately the chairman of the convention said after several withdrew their petitions for a recorded vote there was not enough support to proceed. >> the chair has found insufficient support for the request for a record vote. >> and reaction from prominent republicans was swift. >> the chairman of the convention walked off of the stage, left it completely unattended for like five or ten minutes. never seen anything like that. >> they rolled through, they cheated, they cheated. i mean that's what you just saw. we saw them violate t

, will his introduction be longer than melania trump's speech? >> and one of the big storylines tonight, jonathan karl, you see the energy on the floor, but those republicans that are here. the last two nominees, not here. the last two republican presidents, not here. >> you see bob dole, the only surviving previous nominee that is here. no bush, the first republican national convention in 40 years without a bush. and 21 republican senators not here. one of them said he had to mow his lawn. and the biggest absence, the sitting governor of the state, john kasich, the most popular republican in the state of ohio, not here. >> he ran against donald trump for an awful long time. and trump's campaign manager calling him out on it today. >> calling him petulant, embarrassing the republican party, but he's in the city of cleveland, but not wki >> also in the city of cleveland, a lot of protesters. and police are geared up for it. let's go to linsey davis, where the protesters are gathered. so far, they're here, but fairly quiet? >> relatively quiet. but

melania trump, not with them. tonight, the trump campaign says those words in his wife's speech were, in fact, taken from michelle obama's speech, and now, they explain why. george with donald trump in just a moment here, but first, abc's tom llamas, with the explanation behind the two speeches and the striking similarities. tom is on the floor again tonight. >> reporter: donald trump today landing in cleveland and into the full-on fiasco taking over his convention. donald trump just landed here in cleveland. he's taking off right now to get closer to the convention hall, and one thing we noticed right when he touched down -- no sign of melania trump. this was the last time we saw her, following her husband into trump tower as news was breaking that parts of her convention address were lifted from michelle obama's 2008 convention speech. >> because we want our children and all children in this nation to know -- >> because we want our children is in this nation to know -- >> that the only limit to the height of you

melania and trump's speech never tried that. the speech writer involved, never tried to get that out of her. that's the other oddity of the speech. no one at the campaign could imagine that a speech writer would plagiarize like this. everyone was victimized by this they all were, the question becomes as a potential president, what does donald trump do about this? does he have the ability to look at those 22 out of 26 words to make a logical conclusion about what happened to his wife. >> halie jackson is standing by to talk to us as part of our team covering the trump campaign. this is all guaranteed to be a mean whether anyone wants it to or no by tomorrow morning or by the middle of the night tonight. number two, they cannot stop digging on this by the morning shows. what do you think is going to end up being the story here? >> i think there are three points to make here. number one, what rachel talked about, melania and trump telling matt lauer tonight which she practiced her speech. i read it once but i wrote it as basically

there's no question that the speech writers for melania trump, melania trump could not possibly havethis was plagiarism, but the speech writers certainly did. in the second passage that we played there sequentially, 22 words out of 26 words that melanmela melania trump spoke, that's an overwhelming, incontrovertible case. 29 word were identical with about six words slightly changed. there's just no question the speech writers who worked on this lifted it directly from michelle obama's speech the question now becomes what will the trump campaign reaction be? if donald trump is true to form, he will absolutely deny that this is plagiarism, he will not fire those speech writers or we won't be able to in any way track that they've been fired. i doubt very much they will admit to this but there's no question that that's what this is. this is pure plagiarism. >> really the highlight of tonight's speech. this turns this into a ka as it fee. this is a plagiarized speech, what an outrageous disservice to melania trump to the speech writers on that campaign. nicole wallace talked that the trum

and how does he explain that speech from melania trump? tonight, right here, the two speeches, side-by-side. melania trump and michelle obama. the new reaction. we are behind the scenes with donald trump jr. we ask him, will anyone be fired? who wrote the speech? and does michelle obama deserve an apology? what he's saying tonight. >>> also breaking, another major crane collapse in the northeast. coming down with drivers in their cars. and it comes after that crane collapse in manhattan. >>> the deadly bus takedown. the suspect jumping onto a city bus, ordering the driver not to stop. the moment he tries to grab an officer's gun. >>> and breaking news as we come on the air tonight. amid reports fox news anchor megyn kelly has now been asked if she was sexually harassed by her boss, the statement from fox news. >>> good evening from cleveland tonight. as we come on the air in the west, these words right over my shoulder say it all. over the top. donald trump has just reached the delegate count he needed on the floor, officially clinching th

last night melania headline speaker.n out of work journalist going, hey, that sounds familiar. >> he was probably at dunkin' donuts. he tweeted it. let's show the speech again. >> you work hard for what you want in life. >> you work hard for what you want in life. >> that your word is your boonn and you do what you say you say kwhau you're going to go. >> your word is your bond and do what you say and keep your promise. >> larry: i think she wrote it. that's what she told matt lauer and i think she just changed some words like a paper. do you think she wrote it herself? >> i'm concerned we're playing into trump's hands. like in the greenroom -- i was in the greenroom going through twitter and apparently donald trump is going to drop a snapchat video on the phone with michelle obama and michelle saying i'm going to let you have it. i'm pum pumping the brakes. >> of course she didn't write it. >> as someone who just got off the campaign i think whoever wrote it is besides the point the point is it's dumpster fire and that

they probably spoke more than melania did. i interviewed melania. she's done a number of interviews. we haven't heard much from her in terms of making a big speech. it's a tough thing to do in a room like this. >> it is a tough thing. one of the reasons she chose her for tonight, she's an immigrant, herself, came to this countkuco legally. my husband is pro-immigrant, he wants me to come into this country, i came here the right way. i expect we'll hear her soften him as a person, talk about him has a family man, and someone who is pro-immigration and i'm evidence of that. >> to your point, anderson, this is new for her. we've all seen it, don jr. and eric deliver very eloquent speeches and really command a room. this is probably going to be a little tough for her and i think very smartly the trump campaign figures, okay, if it doesn't go as well as we want, we've gotten it out of the way. >> at the same time, it also does build up a certain amount of excitement because it is so new, because we haven't really heard much from her. unconventional. >> i

i'm not going to say melania was. >> talk about trump. how does he adminster force accountability to use an old word? accountability if someone messes up, you deal with the situation? >> will he deal with this or will he say i'm not touching it. it's the damn press. >> i'll tell you what, you had it right on the head before when the person who wrote the speech whoever that person is. >> they should take the initiative right now. >> you did. >> resign offer your resignation immediately. if he wants to take it, he takes it. if he doesn't, he doesn't. when you put the spouse of the candidate in harm's way like this, there are consequences. >> i think the challenge that putting all this aside, the challenge that the trump campaign is they had a good night. but what's going to happen tomorrow is this is the story. >> what would you do? >> well, i think. >> tomorrow night we have another cavalcade of speeches. and you'd probably like it to be a fresh night where focus is on what happens tomorrow night. as you just said, it would continue this c

>> you got upgraded. >> no, i'm reading the word melania and calling you that, melania, marci. >> reporterts outside. there were also some inside, and it seemed a little unruly there today. how is this being handled? >> reporter: yeah, there were about two protesters inside during the event last night, and they really didn't cause that much of a disruption. i mean, you definitely noticed they were there, but the speakers just kept on talking while all of that commotion was going on and those two protesters were taken out without any major incident, and, of course, the protests outside, police knew to expect them. they're making sure they remain peaceful. >> rudy giuliani said it's proof that we're getting to them, the fact that there were protesters there interrupting his speech. hillary clinton is making moves tonight we saw. what are they? >> reporter: well, she's still out campaigning while all of this is going on. she's out continuing her campaign. she had some events yesterday including some in other parts of the ohio. she's continuing to rail against trump's running mate, mike pence,

melania trump did a great job. politician's wife, this is the first time she's presented herself to the delegation and america in general. she did a fabulous job and it'll not at all change my support. >> reporter: tonight is a huge night, mike pence coming out here as the vice presidential nominee. do you support him as donald trump's running mate? >> i absolutely support him as donald trump, but nominee, but willing to hear more. i'm not familiar with governor pence, but i want to understand how the two are going to work together. >> reporter: as someone who originally supported marco rubio, mike pence has been called an extremist by the left, by the democratic party, are you worried of choice, on issues like immigration? >> i'm not at all worried. e and i'm not surprised that the left would call any conservative extreme to be honest with you, but i don't know what those positions are yet entirely because i haven't heard from mike pence before. >> reporter: and let me get jen on here. mike pence and be careful fo

melania trump is not a politician. she's not a jousrnalist.he may not be held to the usual standard of knowing what cribbing is. >> this is the first national exposure for melania trump and someone at campaign had to be watching this carefully what impression she's going to make. >> someone was. it was meredith who knew she was getting it from mrs. trump, mrs. obama's speech. saw it show up in the final draft and never said, wait a minute, mrs. trump, you've just cribbed. you can't get away with that. >> melania never stopped anybody in this process and said, wait a minute, these are the paragraphs that i took from michelle. melania trump knew she had -- >> bob, you've been at critical situations in campaigns. somebody has to do the damage control. here they are flying back to new york on monday night. they get the word somewhere in the air there's been a big kerfuffle over the fact that your lines are taken directly from michelle obama's speech. at that point melania trump knows exactly what the problem was because she took them from michelle

melania said i wrote the entire speech with a little help as possible. the campaign is saying in writing her beautiful speech, her team of writers, team of writers took notes on her life inspiration and in some instances, included fragments that reflected her own thinking. >> they haven't fully addressed -- >> not quite. >> what happened here. in fairness, she said give an entire speech. these are just two passages. a lot of questions over how exactly this happened. >> in fairness other people have dropped out of presidential campaigns in the past for plagiarizing. not that she's running for president, but a signature speech. >> last night's other big event. the surprise drama on the bachelorette. >> our senior analyst is back. "the i don't think there was any plagiarism last night. >> no? jojo didn't borrow from the first lady? >> no. >> no? jojo didn't borrow from the first lady? >> no. ♪ >> skinny music, we have missed you. it's actually been a couple week about "the bachelorette". it's getting down to crunch time. >> we've also missed the bachelorett

and melania trump was not in prime time. they crammed that in. the trump campaign. it's not a very good first impression. to your point, everything is scripted. everything about donald trump is unscripted. >> part of what donald trump supporters say is that what he lacks, he will make up by hiring the right people. he'll hire the best and the brightest. >> good luck with that. >> he's hired paul manafort and others for his team. is this the example of how he would run the white house? is that a fair question? >> well, no, it is a fair question, absolutely. this is a man running on his competence as a businessman, right? so you certainly have to look at how he's running his campaign. what i will say, though, is that one thing that has powered donald trump's entire candidacy and made him successful, he doesn't play by the normal playbook. that he is more fluid and more off-the-cuff. and his convention has been like that. but i think you see -- the problem, really, is that donald trump himself can pull it off. he can pull off kind of going off on ta
