Rand Paul Caught Scrubbing Transcripts From Website After Plagiarism Charges [View all]
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has been accused of plagiarising Wikipedia and other sources and the evidence has started disappearing from his official Senate website.
MSNBC Rachel Maddow recently noticed that Paul had taken the exact language from several Wikipedia pages and used it in several of his speeches without proper attribution. And over the weekend, BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczynski found that Paul had copied 1,318 words from a 2003 case study by the Heritage Foundation without making it clear that he had not authored the material.
On Monday, Kaczynski pointed out that some of those speech transcripts had been scrubbed from Paul’s Senate web page.
In the case of a Feb. 6 speech to the Heritage Foundation, Paul’s current page only contains a video, but Google cache shows that the page recently also had the entire transcript.
BuzzFeed found at least three other pages which had transcripts deleted.
