Kamala Harris Accused of Plagiarizing Over a Dozen Sections in 2009 Book, Including from Wikipedia
Oct 14, 2024, 07:18 PM
An investigation has revealed that Vice President Kamala Harris plagiarized at least a dozen sections of her 2009 book, 'Smart on Crime', co-authored with Joan O'C Hamilton. The investigation, conducted by Austrian plagiarism expert Dr. Stefan Weber and reported by activist Christopher Rufo, found that Harris lifted material without proper attribution from sources including Wikipedia, an NBC News report, the Associated Press, and even a story from Martin Luther King Jr. The alleged plagiarized content includes entire sections copied verbatim. The revelations have drawn comparisons to President Joe Biden's 1987 plagiarism scandal, which ended his first presidential campaign.
