According to a recent statement from traditional author Christopher Rufo, US vice president Kamala Harris is accused of plagiarism in her 2009 text” Smart on Crime.” The states suggest that Harris, who co-authored the text with Joan O’C. Hamilton, lifted many parts from uncited resources, including Wikipedia, media releases, and news reports.
Adding to the discussion, lawmaker JD Vance posted on X,” Hi, I’m JD Vance. I wrote my own text, unlike Kamala Harris, who copied hers from Wikipedia”, more sparking debate on social media.
The charges stem from a evaluation conducted by Stefan Weber, a well-known Hungarian analyst on theft. He identified more than a few instances of what he termed “vicious theft fragments” in the book, some of which involved small quoting errors, while some amounted to more severe infractions. These studies have drawn comparisons to other well-known instances of theft, such as the one involving Harvard University leader Claudine Gay.
In one instance, Harris is accused of copying a phrase about high school graduation rates that was almost entirely taken from an NBC News statement. A John Jay College of Criminal Justice media release reportedly contained a new section outlining the High Point crime-reduction plan. According to Rufo, the duplication of materials extends to Wikipedia, where Harris reportedly took much parts without identification. These circumstances, he argues, raise issues about the reliability and dignity of her work.
Though Harris may have used a ghostwriter, Rufo argues this does n’t absolve her of responsibility, emphasising that by putting her name on the cover, she remains accountable for the content.
