Kamala Harris is facing new allegations of plagiarism this week over 27 separate passages from her 2009 book ‘Smart on Crime.’ Here is the full 47-page dossier, prepared by famed Austrian "plagiarism hunter" Stefan Weber. Anyone can read it and come to the conclusion that Kamala Harris plagiarized her book, Smart on Crime. https://t.co/7KvwbzqTOS— Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) October 15, 2024 The Washington Post is advancing the argument that Kamala Harris didn't really plagiarize because she wrote her book "when electronic research became more common." In other words, it's not her fault that she was too dim to understand how to use a computer or add quotation marks. pic.twitter.com/d3jLE1brh8— Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) October 16, 2024 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. — Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) October 14, 2024 From CNN: Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank, on Monday cited in an online post an analysis by so-called Austrian plagiarism hunter Stefan Weber, alleging Harris lifted “verbatim language” from uncited sources in “Smart on Crime,” which she co-wrote with Joan O’C. Hamilton. The book – published in 2009, the year before Harris was elected California attorney general – focuses on policy drawing from her experience prosecuting crimes that ranged from child sexual assault to homicide in Alameda County and San Francisco. Rufo, in his post, refers to six specific paragraphs from Harris’ roughly 200-page book. CNN reviewed several of the passages highlighted by Rufo and found that Harris and O’C. Hamilton failed to properly attribute language to sources. Plagiarized works include using someone else’s work without giving them proper and appropriate credit for their ideas and words. Even if the source of the information is cited, it is still considered plagiarism if the ideas are not paraphrased or quoted in the correct place, experts told CNN late last year.
