Report: Kamala Harris Busted for Plagiarism in Testimony to Congress
Breitbart ^ | 10/22/2024 | Wendell Husebø

Posted on 10/22/2024 9:37:52 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Vice President Kamala Harris plagiarized material in addition to her book Smart on Crime, an analysis by Washington Free Beacon’s Aaron Sibarium found Tuesday.

The additional allegations of plagiarism diminish the credibility of the Harris campaign’s denial of plagiarism.

The Beacon’s Sibarium reported Harris also plagiarized pages of congressional testimony from a Republican colleague and a fictionalized story about human trafficking.

Sibarium reported on Harris’s material from congressional testimony:

Virtually her entire testimony about the bill was taken from that of another district attorney, Paul Logli of Winnebago County, Illinois, who had testified in support of the legislation two months earlier before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Both statements cite the same surveys, use the same language, and make the same points in the same order, with a paragraph added here or there. They even contain the same typos, such as missing punctuation or mistaken plurals. One error — a “who” that should have been a “whom” — was corrected in Harris’s transposition.

Harris, who also testified about two other bills that day, devoted approximately 1,500 words to the John R. Justice Act. Nearly 1,200 of them—or 80 percent—were copied verbatim from the statement Logli submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee on February 27, 2007, two months before Harris delivered her testimony.

“Virtually her entire testimony about the bill was taken from that of another district attorney”

From each according to their ability, to each according to their need. She does not have the ability, but she had the need, so she re-distributed the words to herself.

She might have been sabotaged by her staff due to their hatred of her. They knew how lazy she is and knew she would never double check their work.

Same for her ghost writer on her book.

Some of you may know that I’ve been doing a Thread every day in the Religion Forum for almost fifteen years.

It consists of a Scripture Portion, a Prayer, and a little parable or anecdote that illustrates the principles in the scripture verse.

Whenever I quote a source, I link back to the source.

Whenever I repeat one of my own stories, I always preface it with “Some of you may have read this story before. It’s from a thread I wrote in 2015...” etc.

If the source is anonymous, I do a search, but if there’s no results, I say so.

I am horrified at the thought of even unconcious plagiarism. Since I am a songwriter, I am very careful not to steal a tune from somebody else. If they could sue George Harrison, they can sue me!

Anyway, I have never even considered stealing words from someone else, especially if it was to get a degree or job, or political position.

I can’t imagine that these people don’t think they’ll get caught, with AI, Recognition Software, Search Engines, and other Fact-Check software out there.

It’s the height of arrogance.

IIRC the turn over rate in the VP staff was over 75%.

They not only took the bait, they have swallowed the hook and cannot let go of the McDonald’s campaign event.

They interviewed McDonald’s employees to discover if Trump fried the taters correctly. They should have asked Kamala

The number 93% sticks in my mind (rightly or wrongly).
