Final Proof That Kamala Is a DEI Hire: She Has a Massive Plagiarism Problem

Of course! Darn, everyone should have thought of this years ago.


Kamala Harris has become famous, in part, for her unique rhetorical style. She switches freely between various accents and peppers her speeches with catchphrases: pondering falling "out of a coconut tree," discussing "the significance of the passage of time," and moving the nation toward "what can be, unburdened by what has been."

To her supporters, the vice president's rhetorical flourishes represent the values of compassion and optimism. To her detractors, her reliance on platitudes and tautologies demonstrates her unfitness for the presidency.

But, as we have discovered in this exclusive report, another element appears to exist within Kamala Harris's rhetorical universe: plagiarism.

At the beginning of Harris's political career, in the run-up to her campaign to serve as California's attorney general, she and co-author Joan O'C Hamilton published a small volume, entitled Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor's Plan to Make Us Safer. The book helped to establish her credibility on criminal-justice issues.

However, according to Stefan Weber, a famed Austrian "plagiarism hunter" who has taken down politicians in the German-speaking world, Harris's book contains more than a dozen "vicious plagiarism fragments." Some of the passages he highlighted appear to contain minor transgressions--reproducing small sections of text; insufficient paraphrasing--but others seem to reflect more serious infractions, similar in severity to those found in Harvard president Claudine Gay's doctoral thesis. (Harris did not respond to a request for comment.)

....

There's more. 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....

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.

She copies her homework off Wikipedia! She's an eighth-grade THOT!

The New York Times gonna New York Times: Conservatives are "seizing" upon this but Kamala did nothing wrong.

But her publisher seems to grasp that this is a major case of plagiarism:


Robert Spencer:

Did Kamala Harris plagiarize sections of her 2009 book? It sure looks like it. Christopher Rufo has uncovered significant evidence of Harris taking the work of others word for word and passing it off as her own, and it's damning. Nowadays, when many Americans take for granted that politicians lie, this may not seem like a big deal, but it is. The plagiarism calls into question Harris' honesty, her integrity, her trustworthiness, and even her most celebrated area of alleged expertise, as the plagiarism took place in a book that was designed to establish her credibility as a prosecutor.

JD Vance knows it's a big deal. "I saw today, actually," Vance said Monday, "a story that Kamala Harris apparently copied some significant chunks of her book from Wikipedia. So if you want a president with their own ideas, vote for Donald Trump. If you want a president who copies her own ideas from Wikipedia, vote for Kamala Harris."

The New York Times knows it's a big deal as well, which is why it published an 1100-word piece on Monday trying to explain away Harris' plagiarism and portray the whole matter as an unfortunate example of just how low the foes of the sainted Harris will go. In the Times' version, "conservative [a four-alarm word for the Times and its hapless readers] activist Christopher Rufo" is making a mountain out of a molehill. He "had taken relatively minor citation mistakes in a large amount of text and tried to 'make a big deal of it.'"

That was the assessment of one Jonathan Bailey, whom the Times identifies as "a plagiarism consultant," without explaining what exactly a "plagiarism consultant" is or how one attains such a lofty position. Bailey, the Times informs us magisterially, "said on Monday that his initial reaction to Mr. Rufo's claims was that the errors were not serious, given the size of the document."

Chris Rufo fired back at the Times' cover-up cover story. Twitchy has those tweets.

For that rancid spin I'm awarding the New York Times the citation of Jive Turkey of the Day.

278 This is just unbelievable.

The desperate, late-in-the race move came amid continuing concern about Biden’s mental acuity and ability to lead, but was propelled by Democrats’ concerns over whether he could beat Donald Trump in November.

And, indeed, Pelosi also admitted it was the politics of beating Trump that pushed the decision to end Biden’s campaign forward.

‘Elections are decisions. You decide to win. I decided a while ago that Donald Trump will never set foot in the White House again as president of the United States or in any other capacity,’ she told the Guardian.

‘So when you make a decision, you have to make every decision in favor of winning… and the most important decision of all is the candidate.’

EXCLUSIVE: Kamala Harris plagiarized at least a dozen sections of her criminal-justice book, Smart on Crime, according to a new investigation. The current vice president even lifted material from Wikipedia.

We have the receipts. 🧵

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:

101 There's a nice evidentiary principle that is common in US jurisdictions that basically goes something like this: if a layman (ordinary joe) can reasonably reach an informed conclusion on a subject, then expert testimony is not necessary and inadmissible. Plagiarism is a garden-variety academic offense so simple that high schoolers and undergraduates are expected to know the rules and comply with them. There's no such thing as a plagiarism expert, and no one needs one.

103 Not only did the fake black woman plagiarize, she ripped off MLK!

"She appears to rip-off Rev Dr Martin Luther King in an anecdote from her childhood during the civil rights movement.

The 59-year-old wrote: “My mother used to laugh when she told the story about a time I was fussing as a toddler: She leaned down to ask me, “Kamala, what’s wrong? What do you want?” and I wailed back, “Fweedom.”

The story is very similar to one shared by the civil rights leader, as the New York Post and other outlets have previously noted.

“I will never forget a moment in Birmingham when a white policeman accosted a little Negro girl, seven or eight years old, who was walking in a demonstration with her mother,” King told Playboy magazine in 1965.

“‘What do you want?’ the policeman asked her gruffly, and the little girl looked at him straight in the eye and answered, ‘Fee-dom’,”.

Pelosi's blew-up her anti-Trump Plan A (re-elect Biden), and her Plan B (elect Kamala) is imploding. Plan B includes cheating as much as needed. But if Plan B fails, what are her Plans C, D, E, and F? Nothing legal; you can bet your last quatloo on that.

Trump keeps going on those podcasts that skew hugely to those. Like 80%+
Kamala wouldn't be talking about going on Rogan if it doesn't matter; if her THOT Army and Brat Patrol were the bee's knees.

But, I don't think any pollster is accounting for them. I suspect every screen has that group as "not likely voter."
Like, even the registered, and have voted at least more than twice in the last 6 years are probably being screened out. 'Cause they generally don't vote.

But, that's a huge, huge number of voters that are 1) hated by the Democrats and 2) ignored by the GOPe.
And Trump-Vance are perfectly tuned in to them ....

So, any time a conservative writer has something to pen about a liberal shitbag, they should preface their name "Liberal Extremist *Joe Schmo*" going forward.

I'm sick of only the right having their belief system labeled as such. Time to turn the tables.

It worked for Obama and Biden, but you might want to look at where your valuation is now compared to 2000. Market cap at the end of 1999, around $8.5 billion. Comparing after taking into account Bidenflation, that's about $24.50.

338 I wonder if the under-35 male vote is where this election turns?

I was watching some youtuber talking about it this, maybe Douglas Murray, and he was mentioning that this group has been largely politically apathetic and not surprisingly has likely had the worse outcome of any identifiable group over the last 20 years. He remarked that it is odd that no political group has really tried to organize them...

And it seems obvious Trump/MAGA should be their movement. But I guess we'll see if Trump succeeds in reaching them and honestly if they want to be reached.

Looks like I might've been mistaken.

389 I got a postcard to send to my dad. I started writing "I really" but I messed it up and wrote "rarely", but I didn't want to throw it out so I just kept going. "I rarely drive steamboats, dad. Quit trying to pretend that I am a steamboat operator. I'm sorry this took such a turn."

I like escalators, cause they can never be broken, they can only be stairs. What are they going to do, put out a sign that says "Sorry for the convenience"?

The old UK system used 12 a lot as it is a versatile number. It has factors 2, 3, 4, 6. Hence the 12 inches to a foot. There's more but then it's Math and I'll be in trouble with the Horde.

It is especially unlikely since steamboats are piloted or 'steam' from place to place.

401 It is a well established rule in book publishing that you're allowed to plagiarize if you come from a middle class background where people care about their lawns.

Probably.

402 No point in going past 12. Those products don't come up that often.

Pro tip I tried to teach my kids: learn the inverses of numbers up to 12 (8.333 for that one). Knowing these greatly facilitates doing mental arithmetic. The only tricky one is 7 (0.142
Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at October 15, 2024 03:34 PM (YqDXo)

For those above 12 just use the multiply and carry on each digit which only needs the 9 by 9 section you know alread.

407 “ The plagiarism calls into question Harris' honesty, her integrity, her trustworthiness, and even her most celebrated area of alleged expertise…”

But does it really? Or does it merely confirm what we already knew or strongly suspected about her?

409 Thank God one can attack Harris openly here because on X you'd be banned for hurtful comments and hate speech. Their censorship is as bad as it ever was. Harris's mind is so small and pitiful that she is a good successor to the Hildabeast and Obama.
