Kamala Harris Book: ‘Copied Virtually an Entire Wikipedia Article’
Famed ‘Plagiarism Hunter’ Busts Kamala
‘Fabricated a Source Reference’
BREITBART
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.

Rufo provides further plagiarism examples that are jaw-dropping:
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… pic.twitter.com/qrwHE8AAgk

This comes just two months after the Harris campaign was caught plagiarizing Joe Biden’s campaign site by copying and pasting his issues into their issue page.
You don’t do this…
First off, you do not steal someone’s ideas and research without attribution.
Second, even if you attribute, you do not copy and paste text without using quotation marks.
In the examples above, Harris copy-and-pasted and did so without attribution, which is as bad as plagiarism gets.
This is a very big deal, especially for a presidential candidate three weeks from Election Day. Have we ever had a presidential candidate busted for such naked acts of plagiarism before? As a matter of fact, we have. Back in 1988, Joe Biden’s serial plagiarism cost him any chance of surviving the Democrat primary.
You know what they say… Birds of a feather…
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.
The Trump campaign has already jumped on it:
Hi, I’m JD Vance. I wrote my own book, unlike Kamala Harris, who copied hers from Wikipedia. https://t.co/tkZvK8LrI3

And Vance is wisely pre-ridiculing the fact checkers who will try to make him the story, as opposed to the plagiarism…
