Katie had it yesterday: Kamala Harris might have plagiarized good chunks of her book, Smart on Crime. This goes beyond the recent plagiarism scandals that have rocked elite higher education institutions. It’s one thing not to cite someone else’s work. It’s another when you copy and paste entire sections of Wikipedia, which the vice president is accused of. And I thought Joe Biden lifting Neil Kinnock’s speech during his 1988 campaign was bad. This is even more egregious.
The New York Times tried to run interference. It failed. Christopher Rufo, who had the scoop, had the receipts:
Kamala’s publisher seems to know a disaster is in their hands, as all inquiries about this matter are to be forwarded to the higher-ups. The publisher accidentally sent an internal company communication to Rufo:
Tweets at link................
it’s a thin line between “plagiarism” and merely cutting-and-pasting the talking points one’s handlers have prescribed.
or is it?
She most likely hired a ‘ghost writer’, and a damn lazy one at that.....................
Oh wow. This is a huge issue because it destroys her credibility AND every entity or person trying to defend her who touches it.
This type of behavior buried politicians…40 years ago.
Not sure if it will have any impact today.
it’s a resume-enhancer on the left. it means they’re compliant.
Disaster?!
People still don’t get the double standard. That’s amazing
This....Does anyone think she is smart enough to write a book all by her self?
Only if it’s a ‘Pop-Up- Book...................
Plagiarism is stealing, bad.
Self-plagiarism...re-copying old stuff... not so bad IMO.
yeah, because before this she was so believable being in a middle class family working at McDonalds and mowing lawns. She sure fooled me.
/s
It would be a pop up book with a yellow school bus and some Venn diagrams. She understands those.
And some French Fries thrown in for good measure.............
Throw the co-writer under the bus. That’s all she can do.
Yeah!
I do believe in Free Speech.
But I don’t think it’s OK that 99% of Major Media is primarily in the business of helping the Democrats and hurting the Republicans. That’s not what the First Amendment is for.
I’d like the FCC to start stomping on media that is blatantly biased. Of course, that is somewhat subjective. But for decades, there have been “mistakes” in media coverage, and for decades, 100% of the “mistakes” have benefited the Democrats.
I’d like the FCC to try and be fair, but it they make any “mistakes” and some of those “mistakes” seem unfair and punitive to the Democrats, then [shrug] that’s just how it goes.
But businesses like the NYT, CNN, and MSNBC should probably be driven into bankruptcy.
lolol
“It is a very sensitive topic”. D’oh.
There’s also the fact she tried less than a dozen cases while a prosecutor. Was a ‘no show / rarely show’ job as she was the sidepiece of a prominent politician and not expected to work for it.
