Some experts say the incidents cited by a critic are modest and may not reflect an intentional effort to take credit.
Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign Tuesday rejected claims that she and a co-author had plagiarized a handful of passages in a 2009 book on fighting crime, arguing that the allegations amounted to a partisan attempt to weaponize a 15-year-old work.
The claims arose this week when Christopher Rufo, a conservative activist, listed five instances in the book, “Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor’s Plan to Make Us Safer,” saying Harris and co-author Joan O’C. Hamilton used language that was nearly identical to outside sources without proper citation. Rufo cited the work of Austrian “plagiarism hunter” Stefan Weber.
“Some of the passages he highlighted appear to contain minor transgressions—reproducing small sections of text; insufficient paraphrasing—but others seem to reflect more serious infractions,” Rufo wrote...

fabulists Stephanie Saul, Vimal Patel and Dylan Freedman, who lie for the New York Times.
The stooge that the Times dug up to lie for them, Jonathan Bailey of @plagiarismtoday.
And now this jerknalist who lies for Jeffy Bezos - Matt Viser.
There goes the credibility of the Washington Post.
Kamala Sucks.™
Isn’t accusing a ‘woman of color’ of plagiarism, not matter how blatant the plagiarism is, both racist and misogynistic? I’m pretty sure that’s what I’ve been told.
I’m sure Willie Brown can testify to that.
So Biden and Harris have common interests after all.
It's also genocidal.
Caught with her metaphorical pants down.
Thinking is hard.
There's only one hard thing that Plagiarizin' Kammy likes...
Since it's only a handful of passages, Martha Raddatz is okay with it.
Joe must have ghost-written it.
If this was JD Vance, The New Gaslight Times and The Washington Post-Gaslight would be running wall-to-wall stories about how this was "Wurst Than Watergate"™, and pretty close to the attempted extinction of Mankind ["wimmings and childerns hardest hit"™].
I would suspect a similar pattern in college or professional papers she might claim to have written.
Such papers likely would be filled with ‘lifted’ materials or full of incomprehensible word salad gobbledygook.

And already admitted that he did not look at all the evidence His own admittedly false conclusions will be used as “evidence”. Lying and then quoting the lie is a major strategy of the left.
I don’t think that the WP has any credibility in over 20 years. And seems that the evidence of plagiarism is very clear.
All you have to do is put the text into high school plagiarism checker or one you could find on your phone and find the text if it was verbatim stripped from a source. There are also happy AI programs that can check for you. I’m
trying to figure out if the shill of a journalist is a putz or a schmuck
As long as the roots are not severed, all is well.
When Martha fell out of the Ugly Tree a few years ago [she used to be good-looking in her youth], the branches also gave her brain damage on the way down.
Her face looks like an Idaho spud these days. And she's as smart as an Idaho spud, too.
