Vice President Kamala Harris has come under scrutiny after conservative activist Christopher Rufo accused her of plagiarizing passages in a book she co-authored over a decade ago. The book in question, 'Smart on Crime,' was published in 2009, a year before Harris was elected California attorney general.
Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, alleged that Harris lifted 'verbatim language' from uncited sources in the book. He specifically pointed out six paragraphs where Harris and her co-author, Joan O’C. Hamilton, failed to provide proper attribution.
