Kamala scandal worsens

It seems fairly obvious that Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party's best prospect to run the most powerful nation on the planet, plagiarized information in her 2009 book, "Smart on Crime." Christopher Rufo exposed Harris and how she lifted sections from Wikipedia without using quotes or crediting her sources.

So while it seemed as if the pooh hit the proverbial fan after getting caught, there was more pooh to follow. As it turns out, she also used Martin Luther King Jr.'s words in that book.

"She appears to rip-off Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King in an anecdote from her childhood during the civil rights movement," The Telegraph reports. Thus, Harris has now been accused of plagiarizing King in the book she "wrote" to advance her political career.

Insofar as the plagiarism assertion, she is accused of copying over a dozen sections of "Smart on Crime: a career prosecutor's plan to make us safer." And now the rip-off of Dr. King in an anecdote from her childhood during the civil rights movement.

“My mother used to laugh when she told the story about a time I was fussing as a toddler: She leaned down to ask me, “Kamala, what’s wrong? What do you want?” and I wailed back, “Fweedom,” the liar wrote. 

This story is too similar to King's as the New York Post and other media outlets noted.

“I will never forget a moment in Birmingham when a white policeman accosted a little Negro girl, seven or eight years old, who was walking in a demonstration with her mother,” King told Playboy magazine in 1965.

“‘What do you want?’ the policeman asked her gruffly, and the little girl looked at him straight in the eye and answered, ‘Fee-dom.’”

So Harris not only ripped King off for her book, she used the same line in Elle Magazine on Oct. 6, 2020.
