Republican vice-presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) is accusing Vice President Kamala Harris of plagiarizing her 2009 book, Smart on Crime.
“Hi, I’m JD Vance. I wrote my own book, unlike Kamala Harris, who copied hers from Wikipedia,” Vance posted on X, linking a Medium article titled “Kamala Harris’s Plagiarism Problem.”
Vance then mocked “corporate media ‘fact checkers.’” “Cue the corporate media ‘fact checkers’: ‘Vance’s tweet is missing important context,” he said. “‘Kamala Harris only copied some of her book from Wikipedia.’”
Vance previously posted on X: “Lmao Kamala didn’t even write her own book,” in a response to thread from Christopher F. Rufo comparing sections of text from Harris’s book to other sources.
