The Washington Free Beacon discovered instances of plagiarism in VP Kamala Harris’s 2007 congressional testimony supporting the John R. Justice Prosecutors and Defenders Incentive Act of 2007.
Then, in 2012, the California attorney general used a fictionalized story about sex trafficking for a report about human trafficking in the state.
Christopher Rufo opened a can of worms when he exposed Harris plagiarized portions of her Smart of Crime.
In 2007, Harris served as San Francisco district attorney at that time.
The bill “would have created a student loan repayment program for state and local prosecutors.”
Harris claimed the bill would attract “top legal talent to offices like hers”:
“There are numerous criminal cases that are particularly difficult because of the dynamics involved,” Harris wrote. “To name just a few—child abuse, elder neglect, domestic violence, identity theft and public corruption. The stakes are simply too high to allow any attorney other than experienced prosecutors to handle these matters.”By repaying the loans of prosecutors and public defenders, Harris argued, the bill, which had been introduced with bipartisan support, would provide an incentive for lawyers to enter public service, or at least diminish the incentive to leave it.
However, Harris’s testimony mirrored Republican Winnebago County District Attorney Paul Logli, located in Illinois, who testified two months before her.
Harris’s testimony had 1,500 words. Almost 1,200 words came from Logli’s testimony
Logli’s testimony went to the Senate, while Harris testified in front of the House.
In 2012, Harris prepared a report about human trafficking in California.
Harris used a fictionalized story about a sex trafficking victim from Polaris Project:
The story came from Polaris Project, a nonprofit that runs the National Human Trafficking Hotline. By June 2012, the project had posted a series of vignettes on its website that were “representative of the types of calls” the hotline receives and “meant for informational purposes only,” according to an archived webpage. To preserve confidentiality, the project said, key details like “names, locations, and other identifying information” had been changed.But in November 2012, Harris included one of those vignettes in a report she published on the state of human trafficking in California. Though she said that the story was “courtesy of” the hotline, she copied it verbatim and did not acknowledge that it contained fictionalized material.
Harris also used Wikipedia.
In 2014, Harris also copied sentences from New York State Judge Roger McDonough in a report about transnational gangs.
No one takes plagiarism seriously anymore. It ticks me off. The Free Beacon reminded everyone that President Joe Biden dropped out of the 1987 Democratic Party primary due to him plagiarizing “a British politician in his closing statement at a debate.”
Let’s not forget Harris stealing Trump’s ideas for her campaign:
She endured a different sort of plagiarism scandal in August when she promised to eliminate taxes on tips—two months after her rival, Donald Trump, had promised to do the same.”This was a TRUMP idea,” Trump fumed on Truth Social at the time. “She has no ideas, she can only steal from me.”Also in August, J.D. Vance proposed boosting the Child Tax Credit from $2,000 to $5,000. Five days later, Harris proposed boosting the credit to $6,000 as part of her economic plan. Vance joked that it was only a matter of time before she put on a red tie and promised to make America great again.
