Chris Rufo accusing Harris of plagiarism…
“…
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.
In one instance, Harris and O’C. Hamilton appear to have lifted some language from a John Jay College of Criminal Justice press release without proper attribution. The book copies exact language and sections of the press release but fails to use quotation marks in several sentences, according to an analysis of the book and the press release.
The authors do, however, cite the press release as a source in a footnote next to the text.
They also properly attribute other quotes from parts of the press release.
Rufo also highlighted another example claiming Harris and O’C. Hamilton “lifted language verbatim” from an NBC News report about a 2008 study on low graduation rates in city schools. CNN confirmed that the language is very similar in both the book and the NBC News report.
Haris and O’C. Hamilton cite the study in their book when using the study’s statistics, but do not cite the NBC News article.
The Harris campaign said the Democratic presidential candidate “clearly cited sources and statistics in footnotes and endnotes throughout” the book. …”

I look forward to the nine part NY Times series on this. Meanwhile Trump will claim Harris was eating babies babies aborted in the 5th trimester then spend 45 minutes of his rally swaying gently to Innagaddadavida and the NY Times will list it as a one sentence mention in an article entitled"Is Harris Doing Hostile Interviews Now to Show Off?"

Wait they're mad because she cited the information but didn't put " " around it?
OK now we're being waaaay beyond ridiculous.

No they give zero fucks about the actual alleged technical citation foibles, but care very much about being able to warp that into claims that Harris is too dumb to have written a book.

Trump has never written any of his own books and probably hasn't even read them. He's hired ghostwriters to do all of his books, including the bestselling Art of the Deal. The person who wrote that book for him spent several months hanging around him for interviews and information, and in 2016 he flatly stated in interviews that based on what he saw that Trump was in no way qualified to be president. And of course he was ignored.
I've posted this before, but Rufo is a dangerous dude. He seems to be a good deal smarter than many other GOP operatives, he's a good debater, and he routinely reads what liberals write about him and threatens to sue at the drop of a hat if he finds that any of their information about him is wrong, and he demands public apologies, which he then publicizes on his social media sites to show other conservatives how he's "sticking it to the libs." He's the guy who started the whole "Critical Race Theory being taught in schools" nonsense that led to the rise of Moms for Liberty and attacks on public ed.
She copied verbatim excerpts from other people’s work.
Spin it however you want.
If this was something that a Republican did you’d have 37 articles linked.
Call conservatives all the names in the book… you and many on here are nothing but the different side of the same coin.
Fact.

First post six minutes after joining purporting to know anything about any posters here is an interesting start.

In the world of “if a Republican did this”, there would be no need to link 37 articles. Trump regularly does way worse things than this, on a random Tuesday morning, before 10 AM.
I posted on The ZZL since 2002…. I very much know your schtick along with several others on here.First post six minutes after joining purporting to know anything about any posters here is an interesting start.
Again…. You post only polls that support YOUR beliefs, articles that support YOUR beliefs and sadly you spend a majority of your life doing so.
Your obsession with Donald J. Trump should be analyzed and put into a diagnosis. You definitely could use some therapy on it.
And when he wins in November I hope you will seek the help you desperately need.
Like what??? Please list them. Semantics on the left are hilarious…
1 - Trump will destroy democracy.
2 - Trump will get rid of the Constitution.
3 - Trump will take our rights away.
4 - There will never be another election if Trump wins.
Do you people ever read what you post??
MAGA has its crazies but damn…. Most of you are as bad or worse….
