Good afternoon and happy ... October surprise?
Who here is ready for a Columbus Day bomb from our favorite Italian, Chris Rufo, exposing another wokie for plagiarism?
And what if that wokie this time happens to be the current VP and Democrat presidential candidate?
LET'S GOOOOOO!
Rufo has already taken down multiple Ivy Leaguers with his plagiarism investigations, can he take down the Democrats' only hope of beating Trump?
Let's examine the receipts, shall we?
The investigation was conducted by Dr. Stefan Weber, a famed Austrian 'plagiarism hunter" who has taken down politicians in the German-speaking world. We independently confirmed multiple violations, which are comparable in severity to the plagiarism found in former Harvard president Claudine Gay's doctoral thesis.
We can begin with a passage in which Harris discusses high school graduation rates. Here, she lifted verbatim language from an uncited AP/NBC News report:
Alright, these are some direct phrases lifted from AP/NBC and pasted into Kamala's books. There are some slight alterations, as any self-respecting plagiarizer would make, but they are NOT cited in the work.
In another section of the book, Harris, without proper attribution, reproduced extensive sections from a John Jay College of Criminal Justice press release. She and her co-author passed off the language as their own, copying multiple paragraphs virtually verbatim. Here is the excerpt, with abbreviations, such as percentages and state names, treated as verbatim substitutions:
Rufo makes a good point, maybe Kamala's best defense, that someone else, her co-author, obviously wrote this book for Kamala, because anyone with eyes and ears knows this lady has never written a book.
Rufo goes on. There's lots more.
In a section about a New York court program, Harris stole long passages directly from Wikipedia — long considered an unreliable source. She not only assumes the online encyclopedia's accuracy, but copies its language nearly verbatim, without citing the source. Here is Harris's language, based on the page as it appeared in December 2008, before she published the book:
Harris also copied language from a Bureau of Justice Assistance report report, which was linked in the the Wikipedia entry. Here is the passage in Harris's book, with duplicated material in the other column:
Finally, when attempting to write a description of a nonprofit group, Harris simply lifted promotional language from an Urban Institute report, and failed to cite her source:
This is clear and obvious plagiarism. Enough to get an undergrad suspended from school and a university professor fired from their job.
It's theft, it's lying, and it's completely unethical.
You can read the entire report on Rufo's substack.
It's pretty airtight.
Think any of the mainstream news outlets will report on this one??
