Just hours after Christopher Rufo reported that Vice President Kamala Harris had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamala-harris-plagiarized-sections-of-2009-book-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allegedly plagiarized</a> multiple sections of her 2009 book, &#8220;Smart on Crime,&#8221; Rufo reported that the book&#8217;s publisher had accidentally sent him an email showing it was in &#8220;damage-control mode.&#8221;
&#8220;BREAKING: Kamala Harris&#8217;s publisher, Chronicle Books, is in damage control mode. The company accidentally sent my team an internal communication indicating that VP Lauren Hoffman is requiring that all inquiries about Harris&#8217;s plagiarism go through the higher ups,&#8221; Rufo posted on X.
He included a screenshot of an email — which he said was sent to him by accident — that instructed employees to funnel any questions about the alleged plagiarism through the top brass.
The missive, sent at 3:31 pm PDT Monday, came under the subject line &#8220;publicity.&#8221;
&#8220;Per Lauren Hoffman (VP, Executive Director of Marketing and Publicity) please do not respond or comment on any inquiries regarding SMART ON CRIME, and please continue to forward them directly to me. Really appreciate your help on this it is a sensitive topic.&#8221;

&#8220;Conservative Activist Seizes on Passages From Harris Book,&#8221; the New York Times headline read. The article went on to explain that a &#8220;plagiarism expert&#8221; had determined that the obviously lifted passages were &#8220;not serious.&#8221;

&#8220;The spin is already on from Kamala’s media lapdogs at the New York Times. It was a fiery but mostly peaceful plagiarism!&#8221; the Trump War Room account commented.

&#8220;Pay close attention: The New York Times consults a plagiarism expert who confirms Kamala Harris plagiarized but says it was harmless and &#8216;amounts to an error and not an intent to defraud.&#8217; Okay, that’s a value judgment that obscures fact: She plagiarized. And we get a &#8216;Conservatives Pounce&#8217;-style dismissal, too. This is called running cover for the home team,&#8221; Andrew Walker posted.

Senator JD Vance (R-OH) got a jab in as well.
&#8220;Hi, I&#8217;m JD Vance. I wrote my own book, unlike Kamala Harris, who copied hers from Wikipedia.&#8221;
