Ashley Hinson, a GOP candidate for a House seat in Iowa, removed multiple sections from her campaign website on Monday after a New York Times report found several passages appeared to have been taken nearly word-for-word from the Times and other news sources, including The Hill.
The Times reported that Hinsons campaign website and op-eds published by the candidate included sentences that were identical to those found in various articles.
A 642-word essay on her campaign website published last week, for example, included 91 words taken verbatim from a Times story published on March 11.
Hinsons campaign website also included exact passages from 2019 pieces in the Des Moines Register and The Hill, according to the Times. All of these pages have now been taken down.
