Vice President Harris is being accused of plagiarizing from several sources in her 2009 book on policing that was released while she was district attorney of San Francisco.
The book, "Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor's Plan to Make Us Safer," was co-authored with Joan O'C Hamilton.
The so-called "plagiarism hunter," Austrian professor Stefan Weber, found 27 times that Harris, the 2024 Democrat nominee for president, and her co-author allegedly committed some form of plagiarism.
He found that "24 fragments are plagiarism from other authors, [and] 3 fragments are self-plagiarism from a work written with a co-author."
Manhattan Institute senior fellow and conservative activist Chris Rufo first reported on the allegation on Monday, pointing to multiple examples from Harris' book in which entire sentences and phrases were apparently lifted from other sources without the use of quotations, though in some cases a footnote cites the source.
"Taken in total, there is certainly a breach of standards here. Harris and her co-author duplicated long passages nearly verbatim without proper citation and without quotation marks, which is the textbook definition of plagiarism," Rufo wrote.

Kamala will blame it on her co-author!
Do you really believe that she was capable of writing a book?
She’s not even capable of hitting a competent ghostwriter.
Fox will be the only network to even mention it.
Or . . . if they mention it they will say the accuser is a right winger, or it has been debunked, or something. Some talking point the non-playing characters can hold onto.
Ouch!
She tried 2 court cases her entire career
Essentially what I was going to say but you beat me to it.
Biden plagiarized Brit PM Neil Kinnock in his 1987 campaign - so it’s only natural he’d pick a fellow plagiarizer for his VP. Lying, cheating, stealing, plagiarizing - it’s all of a piece for Democrat leadership.

😊👍
He also plagiarized in school. Deception and theft comes naturally to him.
“false claims”?
“debunked”? “unproven”?
“baseless”?
In the “Thesaurus of the Left”, there must be many more...
black female Harvard head just got a promotion for the same, there is a future in this
If she’s a “career prosecutor,” how the heck did she end up running for the Senate and now president? Did she lie again?
Thanks for the info. I didn’t know that, especially since she keeps calling herself a “prosecutor.” So what exactly did she accomplish before she ran for the Senate?
Kamala and smart should never be used together.
She tried TWO CASES??? TWO???
Just following the lead made by MLK,Jr., and a multitude of other black writers. Plagiarism is rampant and accepted by them.
Not surprised at the finding. But you can “self-plagiarize.” (Although most writers like to remind the reader, “as I said before . . .”)
People researching have only found 2.
But they haven’t reported on it yet. Not sure they will or if they’ll find more cases.
