Kamala Harris faces plagiarism allegations over her book Smart on Crime

Vice President Kamala Harris faces plagiarism allegations regarding her 2009 book, "Smart on Crime." Austrian professor Stefan Weber claims the book contains 27 instances of copied text from various sources, including news articles and Wikipedia, without proper citation. Weber's report highlights specific examples, such as verbatim text from a Wikipedia article and a fabricated source reference. He also notes similarities between Harris's childhood anecdote and a story told by Martin Luther King Jr., raising questions about originality. The allegations have drawn attention from conservative activists, with some criticizing Harris for not writing her own book. The Harris campaign has not yet responded to requests for comment on the report.
