Daily Caller: Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tony Evers, the state’s education superintendent, is being accused of submitting budget requests that plagiarized other work.
The issue surfaced Friday, hours before Evers and GOP Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker were due to participate in their first debate. Walker’s team released passages from Evers’ September budget plan that revealed numerous paragraphs to be identical, or nearly identical, to work previously written by a think tank intern, Wikipedia and other sources.
Evers’ September budget request included a 15-paragraph section that was nearly verbatim to a 2016 blog post by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute and authored by an intern. One section was closely identical to a post by the National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability. Another section appeared to be a straight copy and paste from a Wikipedia article.
Walker’s campaign was able to catch the matching words using software specifically designed to locate instances of plagiarism.
Now, Walker’s campaign team has revealed more examples of plagiarism from Evers’ past budget proposals.
According to documents released on Sunday, the GOP has found at least three other instances where Evers’ submitted plagiarized work. In one glaring example, the Democrat’s budget proposal contained a four-paragraph section that was nearly verbatim to a national policy group — the only difference was that Evers’ submission changed the word “students” to “pupils.” Keep reading
Give the guy a break. I mean, if he had an original thought in his head or an iota of actual competence, would he be democrat to begin with in the first place?

cnn’s fareed zakaria is going to do a special report on this.
It is what socialist democrats do- they don’t have original thoughts. Once mobocracy replaces democracy, everyone will understand- they’ll make sure of that.
VOTE!
It’s not plagiarism, it’s Democrat speak!
If he plagiarized Joe Biden would that be double secret plagiarism?…
Plagiarism? Meh. What about his his running mate, who appears to be pretty much a pimp?

Unless I’m mistaken, “It’s somebody for everybody, just not here…” is a term of art for off-premises prostitution. Regardless, this is hardly the “respect for women” the donkeys are so proud of. And to top it off, he claims, “he didn’t remember if he attended the party”. Sheesh.
That is not plagiarism, it is simply borrowing another’s ideas without attribution.
The key word is borrowing! It is a longstanding dimocretin practice.
This is a “broken record”! I think I’ve hearths song over 500 times in the last 70 years. so many Dems have been guilty of plagiarism but the MSM always look the other way! SEE NO D EVIL, HEAR NOT D EVIL, SAY NO D EVIL! @?#!%&!?@
