Surprising it wasn’t titled “how to make crime easier for criminals and leave the border open for murderers and rapists”
Dr. Stefan Weber, an internationally famous “plagiarism hunter,” has discovered that Kamala Harris “plagiarized at least a dozen sections of her criminal justice book, Smart on Crime,” Christopher Rufo reports.
The 2009 work of non-fiction, co-authored with Joan O’C Hamilton was, per Wikipedia, “[f]irst published as Harris (then the San Francisco district attorney) was beginning her 2010 campaign for California Attorney General” and “outlines her vision of how the criminal justice system should function.“
In his summary of findings, Dr. Weber writes, “Kamala Harris copied virtually an entire Wikipedia article into her book without providing attribution to Wikipedia.”
Most damning is that “Harris fabricated a source reference, inventing a nonexistent page number,” he said.

You know who else plagiarized? Biden, and that knocked him out in 1988.
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: pic.twitter.com/pZv5mD3m5t

There’s lots and lots more where that came from, and it matters. I always put it in the blockquote, or, make mention of it is in the regular text, put it in quotes. This is the way you blog, even at a little one like mine
The corporate media will almost certainly either ignore this scandal or attempt to wrist-flick and “fact check” it away as a “Republican-fabricated controversy.” But this is not 2008. The corporate media can no longer bury the truth to protect a Barry Obama from his troubling relationship with a domestic terrorist.
Well, yeah. And how does the NY Times cover this?
Conservative Activist Seizes on Passages From Harris Book
“In a review of the book, The New York Times found that none of the passages in question took the ideas or thoughts of another writer, which is considered the most serious form of plagiarism.”
So, she utterly plagiarized, but, no biggy. The problem is you Conservatives seizing.
