Kamala Harris, While Serving as a Prosecutor, Often Engaged in Moonlighting as a Thief
It appears that Kamala Harris has a propensity for plagiarism.
Recent reports have revealed instances of plagiarism in her 2009 book “Smart on Crime” and in her prepared testimony to the House Judiciary Committee in 2007 as well as in an official report from 2012 during her time as California attorney general.
After The New York Times was criticized for attempting to downplay the 2009 plagiarism incident, it is expected that her supporters in the media will try to suppress these new revelations.
In the 2007 case, the plagiarism is unmistakable as Harris copied whole sections from Republican district attorney Paul Logli’s statement to the Senate on the same topic.
She replicated approximately 1,200 words from Logli’s statement of 1,500 words, making only minor changes such as changing “who” to “whom.”
However, the most egregious example comes from her time as Attorney General, where she not only plagiarized but also presented a fictional story as factual evidence.
Although she credited the Polaris Project as her source, she altered a story labeled as an example and meant for illustrative purposes only, changing it to a “real” story set in San Francisco.
Additionally, in a 2014 report on transnational gangs, Harris copied sentences and footnotes from New York judge Roger McDonough without giving credit.
Harris frequently emphasizes her experience as a prosecutor to showcase her toughness on issues like border security and crime; however, it appears that even during her time as a prosecutor, she engaged in plagiarism from other attorneys.
Her past experiences seem to have mainly prepared her to copy Donald Trump’s “no tax on tips” policy.
