Joe Biden's climate change plan hit with plagiarism charge

SUMMARY: Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign came under fire on Tuesday for putting out a $1.7 trillion climate change plan that included passages identical to previously published documents, in an echo of the plagiarism scandal that helped drive him from the 1988 presidential race.

Josh Nelson, vice president at the progressive group CREDO, first flagged the similarities on Twitter. The text contained the same language about technology designed to capture and store power plants' carbon dioxide emissions as documents previously released by the nongovernmental organization Center for Climate and Energy Solutions as well as the BlueGreen Alliance, a coalition of environmental and labor groups.

I wish he would go away. His lead is somewhat baffling to me; name recognition is the only thing he has going for him.

Not true

Her claim to fame was saving the rapist from being removed from office by impeachment.
She will alway be Golden to the Dems - no matter how many felonies that she admits to.

National Review Reports -

Former vice president Joe Biden, who currently enjoys a hefty lead over his opponents for the Democratic presidential nomination, released his plan to combat climate change on Tuesday and was promptly accused of plagiarizing parts of the proposal.

The sections in question appeared to lift language from documents published by the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions and the Blue Green Alliance. The vice president of the progressive group CREDO, Josh Nelson, noted the double language Tuesday morning, pointing out that passages from Biden's plan nearly mirror sentences from a 2017 letter the Blue Green Alliance sent to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.

I couldn't possibly care less about Hillary Clinton at this juncture. Honestly.

It just bothers me since Biden has zero ideas, other than what he's poached from others, and there are so many qualified candidates who are actually putting detailed policy plans out there, and they are getting stomped by this F***ing guy. He'd be miles and miles better than the current president, but come on. No Old White Dudes 2020
