(TheConservativeTimes.org) – Besides being concerned with her sagging poll rates nationwide, Kamala Harris now finds herself embroiled in a plagiarism scandal that threatens to derail her political aspirations.

The allegations stem from her 2009 book Smart on Crime, which exposed an alarming pattern of intellectual dishonesty and raised serious questions about her fitness for higher office.

Austrian “plagiarism hunter” Dr. Stefan Weber has uncovered a staggering 27 instances of plagiarism in Harris’ book.

These accusations include copying content from Wikipedia, news articles and academic studies without proper credit.

The extent of the plagiarism is alarming. Weber has identified examples of verbatim copying and what he calls “pawn sacrifice plagiarism,” where some citations mask the true extent of reliance on original sources.

Perhaps the most damning accusation is that Harris fabricated a source reference and copied promotional content from Goodwill Industries without citation.

“Kamala Harris fabricated a source reference, inventing a nonexistent page number. The self-promotional content from Goodwill Industries was copied verbatim without citing the source (Goodwill Industries was her ‘primary partner’ on in [sic] the ‘Back on Track’ program),” Weber said.

Conservative figures have been quick to criticize Harris based on these allegations. Senator JD Vance, himself the author of the acclaimed memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” took to social media to mock Harris.

Vance stated, “I wrote my own book, unlike Kamala Harris, who copied hers from Wikipedia.”

The plagiarism allegations extend beyond mere sloppiness or oversight. Weber’s report questions whether a ghostwriter was used for the book, further undermining Harris’ credibility.

While Harris’ campaign spokesman attempts to downplay the allegations by noting that the book has been out for 15 years and cites sources in footnotes and endnotes, this defense falls flat in the face of the extensive evidence presented.

In this regard, Weber explained: “In many other instances, even when a source was cited with a footnote, the text was directly copied and pasted without using quotation marks.”

“Quotation marks would have been the most transparent and honest approach, also in non-academic books,” he further added.

“Further signs of dishonesty may be evident when sources were copied but specific details were altered, such as replacing a Subway store owner with a sandwich shop clerk or highlighting Southeast Asia in the context of the US gang problem,” Weber concluded.

As the 2024 presidential campaign looms, these plagiarism allegations cast a long shadow over Harris’ political future.

Critics argue that this scandal raises serious questions about Harris’ integrity, her ability to lead and her commitment to the very principles of justice and accountability that she claims to champion.
