Now Huckabee is involved in a plagiarism scandal, accused of stealing from AP, WaPo and Bill Clinton

The Republican presidential candidate’s column ran from 2000 and 2006 and appears to have cut-and-pasted language from sources ranging from the Washington Post to an Arkansas Supreme Court justice’s opinion to a quote from Bill Clinton.

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee appears to have committed plagiarism while governor of Arkansas, cut-and-pasting from an array of sources when writing a weekly column that ran on his official state website.

Huckabee wrote columns between 2000 and 2006 that contain language identical to or closely resembling that in articles by news organizations such as the Associated Press and the Washington Post, the testimony of a state police officer before a House subcommittee, an Arkansas Supreme Court Justice’s opinion, a Yale University brochure, and a Clinton Foundation press release, including a quote from Bill Clinton, among other sources.
