In her first speech since her plagiarism scandal at the Republican National Convention, Melania Trump managed to stump for her husband without borrowing anyone else's words.
In a speech on Thursday at a rally in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, Melania didn't use any phrases from Michelle Obama speeches -- or anyone else's work. Mashableconfirmed Melania's clean copy by running it through a plagiarism checker.

As a plagiarism checker confirmed at the time, a large portion of her speech, in which she talked about American values and passing them onto the next generation, was lifted from Obama's own Democratic National Convention speech from 2008.
On Thursday, right after Melania blessed "this beautiful country," Mashable'splagiarism report came back with only a 22.5 percent similarity to other online sources -- most of which were other sites and articles citing and quoting her speech.
