The news of the similarities of Melania Trump’s speech to one previously given by Michelle Obama has spread like wildfire across the internet. In an effort to try and defend the possible future first lady, Sean Spicer, the Communications Director of the Republican National Committee rushed to her aid. Unfortunately, he may have done more harm than good.
Spicer began by comparing quotes made by John Legend and Kid Rock to previous statements by Mrs. Trump. To bring his point home, he decided to pull a quote from a certain Princess of Friendship named Twilight Sparkle and made the following statement,
“Melania Trump said, ‘The strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.’”
“Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony said, ‘This is your dream. Anything you can do in your dream you can do now.’”
The full section of this discussion can be found at the bottom of this article. Considering these two quotes seem to only have similar themes instead of being close to one another, it’s hard to tell what kind of a point Spicer was trying to make with this statement.
Quick to react to the use of one of her lines, Tara Strong, voice actress for Twilight Sparkle issued the following response:
Obviously not everyone is okay with Spicer’s poor attempt to prove Melania Trump’s innocence. Still, the entertainment value of it cannot be ignored.
