Kamala Harris seems to be as big a plagiarist as Joe Biden.
The other day she plagiarized a famous story that MLK related in an interview during the civil rights movement in the 60s and claimed an event that took during her own childhood that was too similar to ignore.

The other day she plagiarized a famous story that MLK related in an interview during the civil rights movement in the 60s and claimed an event that took during her own childhood that was too similar to ignore.
The story below details:
“Senator Kamala Harris started her life’s work young,” writer Ashley C. Ford led off the piece. “She laughs from her gut, the way you would with family, as she remembers being wheeled through an Oakland, California, civil rights march in a stroller with no straps with her parents and her uncle. At some point, she fell from the stroller … and the adults, caught up in the rapture of protest, just kept on marching. By the time they noticed little Kamala was gone and doubled back, she was understandably upset.”
“My mother tells the story about how I’m fussing,” Harris told the magazine. “And she’s like, ‘Baby, what do you want? What do you need?’ And I just looked at her and I said, ‘Fweedom.’”
But one eagle eyed Twitter user noticed that the Harris tale sounds remarkably similar to a 1965 interview King did for Playboy.
“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 said in the interview. “‘What do you want?’ the policeman asked her gruffly, and the little girl looked at him straight in the eye and answered, ‘Fee-dom.’ She couldn’t even pronounce it, but she knew. It was beautiful! Many times when I have been in sorely trying situations, the memory of that little one has come into my mind, and has buoyed me.”
This isn’t the first time Harris has faced accusations of fabricating tales of her childhood. Last month, she publicly celebrated the little-known African-American holiday of Kwanzaa, boasting that she had fond “childhood memories” of her family gathering “across multiple generations” and telling stories while they lit candles.
But as conservative commentator Matt Walsh pointed out, Kwanzaa wasn’t even invented until two years after Harris was born, making it unlikely that she would have a “deep childhood attachment” to the holiday.
