Kamala Harris accused of plagiarism in co-authored 2009 book
|
[NYPOST] Vice President Kamala Harris
former senatrix from California, 2020 Dem presidential hopeful and ultimately Joe Biden's intended successor
is facing allegations of plagiarism after numerous passages from the Democratic presidential nominee's 2009 book ''Smart on Crime'' were discovered to closely resemble — or perfectly match — wording from other sources.
Harris, then the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
 ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
's district attorney, wrote the book promoting a reform-minded approach to prosecuting crimes alongside ghostwriter Joan O'C. Hamilton — who told The Post when contacted Monday that she was surprised to learn about the alleged copying.
Conservative activist Christopher Rufo published the allegations Monday and credited an investigation by Austrian ''plagiarism hunter'' Stefan Weber — with Rufo posting screenshots on X of five examples in which the wording in the book closely resembles other sources.
In each instance, the purported source material predates Harris' book publication date.
The five side-by-side passages indicate that Harris may have lifted wording from an News Agency that Dare Not be Named article from 2008, a Wikipedia article as drafted in 2008, a Bureau of Justice Assistance report from 2000, an Urban Institute report from 2004, and a John Jay College of Criminal Justice blurb describing a 2007 award.
In at least two of the instances, the source of the original verbiage is cited in footnotes — however, quotation marks are not around the apparently copied words and in other instances passages appear to be wholly uncredited, such as the Urban Institute report.
