The New York Republican delegation is rallying behind Melania Trump as a controversy surrounds her Monday night convention speech.
Question: "So you don't think it's plagiarism?
"No, I don't," said Mary Reilly an alternate delegate from Staten Island. "I don't. I think they nitpicked it a little too much."
Following the allegations that Trump stole parts of her speech Michelle Obama's Democratic convention speech eight years ago, we asked members of New York's delegation what they thought.
The chairman of the state's Republican Party had nothing to offer.
"I haven't looked at it don't know anything about it can't comment on it," said state party chairman Ed Cox.
But others said the speech was good, and the whole issue was being blown out of proportion.
"They were similar but I did not find them identical," said Adele Malpass, chair of the Manhattan Republican Party. "I think they are making something out of nothing."
"Obviously it shouldn't be done she didn't do it intentionally," said Congressman Peter King. "I know how speech writers can make those mistakes they have a lot of different documents they are looking at and somehow that made its way into the copy. That's politics."
Congressman Chris Collins suggested if the allegation is true, then someone should be fired.
"If at some point someone lifted some words I would just fire that person and move on," said Collins. "That wasn't anything that Melania would have done."
In the end these NY delegates believe this controversy will blow over.
