Vice President Kamala Harris is a complete and total embarrassment, a fact proven by the fact she’s just been busted for essentially plagiarizing President Joe Biden’s campaign website for her own, essentially doing a quick copy-and-paste of the “issues” page over the weekend for her policy platform. This comes seven weeks after Harris entered the presidential race, replacing Biden after he was pushed out of the election due to a poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump that fully exposed his cognitive decline.
Harris had seven weeks to develop her own platform or to at least have members of her staff rewrite the policies into different words. She did neither. That’s got to be humiliating for Democrats. How lazy does a nominee have to be to put forth no effort at all into developing a personalized policy platform. This is your opportunity to shape how the country is run and its future. You want to have your own voice, not follow in lock-step with your predecessor.
Here’s more from Breitbart News:
As Breitbart News noted, Harris finally posted a set of policies on Sunday, after weeks of criticism for not having one on her campaign website. The policies were published just 48 hours before the presidential campaign’s first — and likely only — debate on Tuesday evening on ABC (at 9:00 p.m. ET). But The New Republic — a left-wing outlet — reported Monday that several parts of the new policy section had simply been lifted from Biden’s website, even including material that called for Biden’s re-election.
In an article titled “Embarrassing Copy-Paste Plagues Harris’s Launch of Policy Platform,” The New Republic reported Monday:
Shortly after Kamala Harris released her policy agenda on Sunday evening, users on X spotted something in the metadata: Much of the language appears to have been lifted from Joe Biden’s campaign website.
On Sunday night, X user Corinne Green pointed out that the issues section of Harris’s website contained metadata with language urging voters to reelect Joe Biden. This language was visible when links to the campaign site were shared, and in the website’s description on Google searches.…
All of this creates the impression that at least some of the Harris campaign’s policy language was copied and pasted from Biden’s documents. That would be an embarrassing miscue from the Harris campaign, which partly came into being because of a perception that a refresh was needed to garner enthusiasm in the Democratic Party. It doesn’t help that the section on her website about her Israel-Palestine policy seems very similar to what Biden’s campaign was saying.
The New Republic then pointed out that all of the language that originally called for the reelection of Joe Biden was yanked out, but the page still failed to present Harris’ own unique vision for America, which claims she wants to pave a “new way forward.” It’s just more of the same old crap. In a different article that was published on Tuesday, the leftist publication stated that “Kamala Harris Can’t Keep Running Like This.”
This was always going to be a very close election, even after Harris replaced Biden. But the tightening of the polls over the past week point to a failure in Harris’s campaign. She had nearly two months to show voters who she is and what she stands for. Instead, she has played it safe, hoping to maintain the positive vibes and momentum of the summer by deliberately not staking out positions on controversial policies. It’s now clear that that approach is no longer working. As the Times’s Nate Cohn wrote on Sunday, “More than anything, voters say they want to hear more about where she stands on the issues, something her campaign has seemed to struggle to lay out.”
The Harris campaign is only now, belatedly, realizing that this is a problem. On Sunday, they finally added an “Issues” section to her website. It includes a slew of policies that the campaign has previously outlined, as well as sections on reproductive and civil rights. Unfortunately for Harris, its release was undermined by a simple but telling error: The page’s source code revealed that parts of the platform were copied directly from Biden’s campaign page.
The article then said that “this is dangerous territory” for the current vice president, especially since data collected by the New York Times has uncovered that over 60 percent of voters wanted the next occupant of the Oval Office to represent “major change” from the current administration. Only a quarter of respondents feel that Harris represents that change. However, the piece goes on to say, the fact she’s unwilling to part ways with Biden’s policies and address the concerns of the average American with new policies communicates that she’s just a carbon copy of her boss. That could spell doom for her chances come November.
