The Plagiarism Twins

Grandpa Badfinger (Kurt Schlichter’s term), aka Joe Asterisk (Stephen Green’s label), is well-known for decades ago plagiarizing a speech by British pol Neil Kinnock. Now his running mate, Kamala Harris, has apparently been telling people something from a Martin Luther King, Jr. interview in fact happened to her. 

We’re going to have to call Biden and Harris “the plagiarism twins.” From the care I take in referencing anything I borrow or quote, you know how negatively I (and most academics) view plagiarism - very much so. These are not people you’d trust to run a second hand shop, much less your government.
