Christopher Rufo discovered two more instances of plagiarism in VP Kamala Harris’s book, Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor’s Plan to Make Us Safer.
The Telegraph discovered another example in the book. It seems she stole something from Martin Luther King, Jr.
Harris loves that “fweedom” anecdote. PJ Media noted that she used it a lot, such as in Elle Magazine in October 2020:
Senator Kamala Harris started her life’s work young. She laughs from her gut, the way you would with family, as she remembers being wheeled through an Oakland, California, civil rights march in a stroller with no straps with her parents and her uncle. At some point, she fell from the stroller (few safety regulations existed for children’s equipment back then), and the adults, caught up in the rapture of protest, just kept on marching. By the time they noticed little Kamala was gone and doubled back, she was understandably upset. “My mother tells the story about how I’m fussing,” Harris says, “and she’s like, ‘Baby, what do you want? What do you need?’ And I just looked at her and I said, ‘Fweedom.’”
Stefan Weber, known as the “plagiarism hunter,” discovered the instances of plagiarism, describing them from “’minor transgressions’ to more ‘serious infractions.’” More from The Telegraph:
Dr Weber’s findings were shared in a joint investigation with Christopher Rufo, a conservative activist who previously made claims against the now-ousted Harvard University president, Claudine Gay.In his report, the Austrian academic wrote: “What do these findings say about Kamala Harris? Is she in part fake? Did her ghostwriter plagiarise? Was it just the team behind her? I have no idea. I let other people from the US draw the right conclusions.”His investigations have previously focused on academics and German politicians and secured him an international profile. Some of those he has accused of plagiarism have later been cleared.
Again, I don’t remember plagiarism ever having a gray area when I went to school and taught. Unless the thought, statistic, or evidence came from you, you cite and credit the source.
Why is this so hard?
