It has just been revealed that Kamala Harris actually plagiarized over a dozen different sections of her book on criminal justice.
It was “plagiarism hunter” Dr. Stefan Weber who actually discovered this and it was Christopher Rufo who verified it and posted it this morning.
Here’s what he posted, in part:
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.
Below are just a few examples by Rufo from Kamala’s book demonstrating her blatant plagiarism:
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:
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. Here is the excerpt, with abbreviations, such as percentages and state names, treated as verbatim substitutions:
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. Here is Harris’s language, based on the page as it appeared in December 2008, before she published the book:
This immediately got JD Vance’s attention, who posted on it and then mocked the coming fact-check he’ll get from the media:
Cue the corporate media “fact checkers”:
“Vance’s tweet is missing important context. Kamala Harris only copied some of her book from Wikipedia.”

Do I think this will make any difference in the election? Probably not because the garbage media will censor the story, just like they did with the Hunter Biden story, and millions upon millions of Americans will never hear about it.
But we’ve got to try to get the story out and I’m sure Trump will be posting it soon…
