The recent scandal at Harvard University involving President Claudine Gay has brought the issue of plagiarism back into the spotlight, and it’s been shrugged off by the school’s presidential search committee. Can you believe that? Normally, plagiarism is a HUGE deal in academic and political circles, but it seems like President Gay got off with just a slap on the wrist. She got caught red-handed, but all she had to do was make a few changes to her work and give credit where credit is due. It’s like she got a free pass!
Seventeen times Biden lied, plagiarized, and exaggerated https://t.co/YgLTdSMEI4 https://t.co/YgLTdSMEI4

And who else is a pro at getting away with plagiarism? None other than President Joe Biden himself. This guy has been involved in not one, not two, but a whopping nine documented cases of plagiarism. It’s like he just can’t help himself when it comes to borrowing other people’s words and ideas. And that’s not all – he’s also known for telling tall tales and exaggerating his own life story. I mean, come on, Joe! Can’t you come up with your own material?
Let’s take a stroll down memory lane, shall we? Back in 1965, when Biden was just a law student at Syracuse University, he swiped five pages of a law review for a legal report. And in 1987, he had to drop out of the presidential race because he got caught stealing lines from British politician Neil Kinnock’s speeches. But wait, there’s more! He also mimicked Kinnock’s mannerisms, which a reporter at the time called “creepy.” Yikes!
But the fun doesn’t stop there. During that same presidential run, Biden also stole lines from Robert F. Kennedy and President John F. Kennedy. I mean, does this guy have any original thoughts of his own? It’s like he’s the king of copy and paste. He even swiped lines from a federal judge’s opinion and other politicians’ campaign plans. And let’s not forget his biographical tall tales, like claiming to be a coal miner and getting “shot at” in Iraq. Give us a break, Joe!
So, there you have it, folks – the Harvard president and the president of the United States, both getting away with plagiarism. It’s like they’re playing a game of “who can steal the most without getting caught.” But hey, at least we can count on them for some entertaining stories, right?
