WASHINGTON — Max Della Pia's campaign is taking some heat after it was discovered that portions of his write ups on policies were plagiarized from a former Democratic candidate's website...about 20 passages of Della Pia's website were similar to the website of Jon Ossoff, a Democrat who ran for Congress last year in a special election in Georgia. Ossoff ultimately lost to Republican Karen Handel, but it was a close race that garnered a lot of public attention. Many passages were taken word for word from Ossoff's site....
As of Monday morning, all of the policy sections of Della Pia's website are inaccessible...
In the recent Democratic primary, Della Pia and Tracy Mitrano were separated by only 26 votes. Absentee and affidavit ballots are being counted Monday and will decide the outcome. The unofficial results released after polls closed Tuesday showed Della Pia was favored in Tompkins County.

Typical democrat. Blame the intern. Worked for Bill.
Hope he has as much luck with it as Paul Ryan’s body double dod
So this is important. They all yammer the same talking points anyway, so what is the problem here?
Underpaid staff good at click and paste campaigning.
They should check all democrat campaigns over the last 40 years. They would find they are mostly all the same crap.
and an academy graduate no less... feh
So what!?
This isn’t academia, where citations are a requirement and plagiarism gets you expelled (if caught).
The material cut and pasted wasn’t protected by copyright — certainly not protected from use by fellow-travelers (who, in turn, was recycling old nostrums).
Recall, for instance, FLOTUS being accused of “plagiarism”; because her speech writer lifted a few sentences from the Wookie’s speech writer.
Few big-league politicians write any of their own speeches. (PDJT is an exception.) None of them write all of their campaign literature. If you burn a Dem politician for this — it will come back to singe some R politicians.
No different than any RAT “working” their way through college—copying the work of others.
It’s interesting that you bring up the first lady’s speech when she was roundly attacked for that in the liberal media. Apparently you think the Democrats who do this should get a pass and not the Republican First Lady
I think you find that it's “apparent" I was pointing out the absurdity of the attacks against the FLOTUS in the MSM. Those attacks were absurd —but, launching similar attacks in retaliation only serves to legitimize this — ultimately absurd -- line of attack. Instead, just call it for what it is — an absurd nothing-burger
Proving once again that demcRATs have no original ideas or policies.
He’s a retired Colonel. He’s was a lefty one so I guess it’s good he’s retired. Now he needs to be defeated politically.
