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.

Elle fires Trump accuser: she blames Trump not Elle

Advice columnist E. Jean Carroll tweeted earlier in the week that Elle magazine fired her back in December. She worked for the French-style fashion mag for more than 25 years as a regular contributor and doesn't blame them for her canning. Instead, she blames the one target blamed for more things than anyone else in the history of the United States: President Donald J. Trump.

Trump has been blamed for everything from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) to Russian election hacking, to every U.S. mass shooting, and even for Kim Jong un's smile. [He must have given North Korea something for Kim to smile about.]

In her post, Carroll indicated that she doesn’t blame the magazine; she blames Trump, of course, the man she publicly accused of raping her as claimed in her recent book.

Carroll tweeted:

Because Trump ridiculed my reputation, laughed at my looks, & dragged me through the mud, after 26 years, ELLE fired me. I don’t blame Elle. It was the great honor of my life writing “Ask E. Jean.” I blame @realdonaldtrump.https://t.co/vYIVL6yDIp

Personally, I believe that her accusation of rape and Trump's attack over that accusation, would give ELLE  a reason to not only keep her on and praise her "braveness," but to give her a substantial raise in pay. 

Does anyone believe that Elle would go after her for going after Trump? They would give her a medal if they could.

In a statement to The New York Times, [a former newspaper], a spokesperson for Hearst Magazines, the parent-company responsible for publishing Elle, claimed that the circumstances surrounding Carroll’s departure were unrelated to her rape allegation against the president. BECAUSE THEY WERE!

“E. Jean Carroll was long a beloved voice in the pages of Elle, the decision not to renew her contract was a business decision and had nothing to do with politics,” said the spokesperson, reports the news agency. 

They weren't defending Trump, they were telling the reason why they let her go.

While Hearst Magazines has publicly denied that national politics played a role in Carroll’s firing, the Times interviewed over a dozen of the publisher’s current and former employees, and was told that many of them believed/felt the advice columnist was terminated partly because of salary and internal politics but had zero evidence to support anything they said, much like the Times uses evidence to support what it says.

According to the Times, Ms. Carroll was paid over $5 per word, and was recently bumped down in a contract negotiation to 900-words per month, from 1800-words per month. The news agency also reports that some of the editors of the magazine were disappointed when Carroll decided to publish an excerpt from her upcoming book, “What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal,” in New York Magazine.

On June 24, 2019, New York Magazine published an excerpt of the book, which alleged that Donald Trump met Carroll in the 1990s inside of a luxury department store. During the encounter, Trump and Carroll allegedly laughed about trying on clothing, but soon afterward, Carroll claims that Trump raped her inside of a dressing room of a high-end department store.

Carroll filed a defamation suit against Trump for calling her a liar and said [correctly] that she was simply trying to sell books, saying: “Shame on those who make up false stories of assault to get publicity for themselves, or sell a book, or carry out a political agenda – like Julie Swetnick who falsely accused Justice Brett Kavanaugh. False accusations diminish the severity of real assault. All should condemn false accusations and any actual assault in the strongest possible terms.”

Do you believe President Trump did what Carroll has accused him of doing? Feel free to comment.
