There are times when the words that come from the mouth of the Moonbats at CNN just need to be emphasized, so we can all laugh. This is one of those times.
Appearing on CNN to discuss the resignation of Harvard President Claudine Gay, “journalist” Matt Egan takes parseltongue spin to new levels of professional obfuscation.
During his review of Gay’s plagiarism, Mr. Egan notes Mrs. Gay has not been “accused of stealing ideas,” she has been accused of “copying other people’s writing without attribution.” Yes, he actually said that.
…”We should note that Claudine Gay has not been accused of stealing anyone’s ideas in any of her writings. She has been accused of sort of more like copying other people’s writings without attribution. So, it’s been more sloppy attribution than stealing anyone’s ideas.”
Prompted:
Someone should tell Matt Egan that “copying other people’s writings without attribution,” is actually plagiarism. 😂🤣😂

Is it like the other gal from Penn who ‘resigned’ the presidency but is still employed as a tenured professor?
Not really. She was a leftist POS, but no proven plagiarism.
Dr. Carol Swan would disagree with you on that one.
The UPenn president?
Yes. Gay is apparently still on the faculty list. Why? Really dunno.
The other ones who resigned over this also kept their Prof. positions. At least one of them did. (Univ. PA?)
What a sh*tshow.
So I guess nobody in Gay’s classes needs to worry about citing others work when they hand in a paper.
Who would ever register? Don’t answer.
The fun part would be if an entire class of students plagiarized Gay.
Not just a little.
An entire paper.
Word for word.
What’s she gonna do, bust’em for plagiarism?
What would Harvard do, bust’em for plagiarism?
hahaha!!!
That’s a great idea!
I wouldn’t do word for word, but it’d be fun to change each sentence just *slightly* and see what the reaction is.
No citations/credit allowed!
I guess plagiarism is permitted at the tenured professor level.
https://truthsocial.com/@DevinNunes/111677447569057372
Here’s an interview between Devin Nunes and Victor Davis Hanson. The discussion about these college presidents starts at the 28 minute mark with the House testimony and questions by Rep Elise Stefanik. VDH discusses his experiences with Gay at Stanford at the 33 minute mark.
Very good recap of these clowns and the state of the “elite” institutions.
The reason I posted the interview here is because VDH discusses tenure and plagiarism specifically in reference to Gay.
They don’t want to further infuriate Dear Leader Braaaaack and suffer the consequences of his wrath and revenge.
FBHO is ‘why’.
He went to bat for the morally worthless institution and its pathetic diversity hire prezzy so they are trying to save his commie-assed face a little bit.
Gotta wonder if Gay and the Penn gal are tenured professors………still getting the same pay they were getting as presidents….
You cannot fire an AA hire.
This clown makes Circle Back Red seem intelligent. Sheesh! The moonbats are right out of er….
Most likely highly probable.
The thing is, one of the people that she copied is Dr. Carol Swain, previously of Vanderbilt. I admire Dr. Swain immensely. She is incredibly intelligent, highly competent, and a black woman that is a no nonsense Conservative. Dr. Swain called for Gay’s resignation back on December 4, 2023. “Fire Claudine Gay posthaste. She can be relieved of duties until the terms are negotiated”
“The award-winning political scientist was born in poverty in Bedford, Virginia. Swain had to drop out of school in ninth grade. But she later went on to earn notable academic achievements, including five degrees. Dr Swain holds an M.S.L. from Yale University, and a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.”
That last bit is referring to Dr. Swain.
Copying ideas generally does not fall under copyright violation. For example, 2000 people have the plot of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, and boy gets back girl. The difference is how that is expressed in the script of a movie or play. The actual words of expression is what is subject to copyright violations.
Then Harvard must tolerate deception by every student. Their diploma’s will project the message, “if the student willfully deceived in exchange for the reward they will willfully deceive their Employer for the paycheck.” They haven’t the intelligence or skill to get what they want any other way. The skill set isn’t there. See how that works? No one cares if you slice and dice criminal behavior.
She’s not guilty of Copywright Violation.
She is guilty of not citing sources for her info, which is common practise in all Academic writing.
Read a PhD or Masters Thesis and 1/3 of every page is cited sources for the info. You’ve gotta recored where you found that info or idea, so anyone who reads it can go back to the “original” source that you used for your idea/thoughts/writing/research.
Unless you graduate from Harvard, I guess. In which case it’s no longer necessary, according to this CNN guy.
Harvard copied the idea it was a legitimate institution.
When you defend the indefensible, you’ll always look like an idiot, a liar, or both.
They devoted 6:41 to THAT??!!?? 🤣🤣🤣

Ha!
You’ve *EARNED* your screen name!!!
There’ll be plenty of sound and fury if you hit print.
Bwaaaaahahahhahaha!!!!!
You caught me by surprise with that one, I literally laughed out loud, HARD!
I have a 20 pound Maine Coon cat.
There was a visual….
Lol!!
OK, that’s fun!
Dr. Carol Swain is an intellectual and moral stud. Period
Which is why Gay used Swains work and decided not to cite it.
Gay tried to make herself look smarter than she is by not giving Swain credit.
Wouldn’t be surprise if she’s got some Thomas Sowell stuff in there, too. LOL.
Nope – have no interest in what the leftist media has to say…on anything.
ha ha ha its about time ….
No one makes the same ‘mistake’ 50 times. At least 50 other bystanders have a higher IQ than Claudine. They caught her. A review of her academic test scores, application and resume must follow. If you know you can’t produce at the established level demanded and sneered at those brighter then yourself you knew it your entire academic life. Ms. Gay is acting, pretending, consciously fooling the generous hearted.
And the reason she was hired as President is because she is black and a Leftist. Period. Perhaps her “wiffle” haircut “sealed the deal.”
Her glasses made her look smart.
They make her look like a pretentious idiot.
Absolutely. Then she went out of her way to prove it.
The Board of The Harvard Corp is not generous or good hearted. They are calculating exploiters of opportunities to demean the once good name of Harvard. They are part of the long march thru the institutions. Every one of those creeps (esp.Pritzker) knew Claudine sucked and they hired her anyway. The reputation and status of Harvard mortally wounded? Mission accomplished.
So, I copied her resignation letter to Grammarly and they found 19 mistakes and plagiarism! 😂

I thought this fraudulent bit sounded familiar:
That’s the “go-to” line by POC when they are called out.
She can kiss 💋 my Animus. My middle school students receive discipline referrals and an automatic “F” for plagiarism. It is called “stealing” another person’s work. This entitled bee-atch at the university level represents what my students will experience in the future? I don’t think so!
As one professional educator to another (not)– you are a disgrace to teachers everywhere. You have no integrity. You do not deserve to be sweeping the floors in the halls of academia. You represent everything we teach our students NOT to be. Race be damned! Stealing is a crime. Own it!
I hope that goes viral!
That was a great idea!!!
Brilliant idea!!!!
Please, please, PUH-LEASE make this go viral!!!
LOL.. I hope you have a twitter account and can post this, Val.
Chances are much greater for many people to see it.
If you don’t have one, maybe someone w/ an account here can help you out.
She must have copied her resignation letter from Jussie Smollett’s when he quit his former gig.
Read Claudine Gay’s resignation letter.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/02/us/claudine-gay-resignation-letter-harvard.html
https://archive.is/5zdT7
Allow me to explain: “not stealing anyone’s ideas” means that she didn’t appropriate the original author’s ideas before they were published, as in being overheard at a cocktail party or given in confidence. She merely forgot to attribute or “very sloppily” attributed the already published and recognized ideas of the original author.
See?🤪
So you are saying it was “fiery but mostly peaceful” plagiarism?
I didn’t steal that man’s money. I just reallocated it, and accidentally forgot to provide a good or a service in return.
Government according to democrats and RINO’S.
Socialism/Communism in a nutshell. I’m she’s all for it, that is until someone comes to take her money to give to someone more needy, perhaps an illegal invader, then well that’s different.
She says she didn’t steal those ideas she “was just holdin’ them for a while.”
Huh… so if I grab a stack of cash from the till I’m no longer stealing…? I’m just taking someone else’s money to spend on myself! Nice!!
Thanks, Harvard, for the great education!!!
Emptying retail stores of their products is no longer considered “stealing”. Stealing has such a negative flavor to it. Transferring ownership of retail products has racial and cultural overtones. Those of us who dislike this sort of behavior are bigots.///
Which is why they don’t like the term looting anymore…1984 in 2024.
It’s not stealing, it’s reparations, because one of your Great, Great, grandparents, or some of their friends may have had slaves, and treated them unfairly do n’tcha know!
Following your logic, we could then infer that:
Gay was put in the president’s position due to…reparations or something…
Never mind that she wasn’t qualified or plagiarized someone else’s work.
Because it’s all about PAYBACK.
I can’t wait to share this with my daughter who, until recently, taught English composition at a University. She’ll be pleased to know that her students were only guilty of “sloppy attribution”.
“We should note that Claudine Gay has not been accused of stealing anyone’s ideas in any of her writings. She has been accused of sort of more like copying other people’s writings without attribution. So, it’s been more sloppy attribution than stealing anyone’s ideas.”Matt Egan, CNN
Mr. Egan should return to wherever he traded in his childhood understanding of theft and get his morality back. Situational ethics at the highest possible pitch. So bloody dishonest, he couldn’t have gone to a State school.
The fun part is the reduction of absolute irrefutable reality of misconduct being reduced to an implied specious accusation.
Do they even teach ethics in universities anymore? That’s actually a serious question. I graduated poli sci/ philosophy/ pre law so had to take quite a few ethics courses. I just don’t see how they could teach them now without hurting some little snowflakes feelings.
Equity > Ethics
That’s how the Left rolls.
Downhill.
The problem is that IS the way they teach ethics. They teach “get away with anything you can until you get caught… then lie… then yell RACISM!”
Ethics? Ethics?
Ethics: A rare and almost extinct species.
From Noah Webster’s dictionary, A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language 1828 : Quote as follows:
.
“PLA’GIARISM, noun [from plagiary.] The act of purloining another man’s literary works, or introducing passages from another man’s writings and putting them off as one’s own; literary theft.”
.
https://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/Plagiarism
Harvard, like all good liberals, just changes the definition of the word so it no longer applies. They do this all the time. They can’t even define what a woman is anymore because they changed the meaning of XX and XY chromosomes.
Exactly like the CDC recognized in emails to one another that the “vaccine” did not fit the definition of vaccine according to the CDC’s own standards…….
So they redefined vaccine and approved it the next day.
And they wonder why people don’t trust them.
Harvard stole their curriculum from the USSR
I “din-do-nuffin”- ism.
Just like Darwin!
He doesnt want to be the white guy on CNN having to say a black person did something wrong
I agree.
He’s the coward on CNN that doesn’t want to admit one of his fellow travelers did something wrong.
“THE” coward?
Words matter, and that article clearly modifies a singular noun.
Pretty sure they’re ALL cowards!
Either no one ever vetted her, or they vetted her, found the problem, and looked the other way because she checked the right political, gender, and race boxes. My guess is the latter. But when they became public the violations were so indefensible that they were cornered, they had to let her go.
She was a longstanding Dean in the Social Sciences department at Harvard. They knew EXACTLY who she was and what she stood for. According to some people who seem to know, she was picked as president SPECIFICALLY because they wanted a DEI Activist and they bypassed all the qualified candidates to pick her.
This reminds me of the best scene in the movie “Gettysburg”…
(British) Col. Arthur Freemantle : I’m told you’re descended from an illustrious military family.
(Confederate) Brigadier General Lewis A. Armistead : [scoffs] Who told you that? Kemper?
Col. Arthur Freemantle : He tells me it was your uncle who defended Fort McHenry during the War of 1812, and that he was therefore the guardian of the original “Star-Spangled Banner.” I must say, I do appreciate the irony of it all!
Wow. Dude- Better watch out. Introducing Confederate Generals on a string about a Black woman getting drummed out of Harvard due to racial hatred against her, well , you might end up in a cell in DC with the J6 brothers. Got your back.
INHO the best scene is Cooper Huckabee’s Harrison’s first conversation with General Longstreet. Amazing acting. Just watch the eyes.
Cooper Huckabee’s Harrison is a great part of the movie. Part scout and part spy he was the ears and eyes of the Confederate Army in the days before the battle. You’re right, it was a great part of the movie and Huckabee did an outstanding job in the role, Donovan.
Fremantle’s comment about the irony of Armistead’s uncle defending Fort William Henry during the War of 1812 while Armistead is planning an assault on the Union Troops was a pointed observation. A similar observation is the Black President of Harvard getting to where she is due to a lifetime of Jewish activism and yet turning on Israel. It is very ironic.
Shaara’s book is waaayyyyyy better than the movie.
Well, I looovvvee the movie and also love Rough Riders with Tom Berringer both were Ted Turner’s. I know…it’s hard to believe! LOL. John Milius directed Rough Riders. He was a huge fan of Teddy Roosevelt!
Liberalism is a mental disorder. QED.
Ballyhoo the boneheads on CNN 24/7, the sad part there are witless liberals looking in saying; “Well, that makes sense.”
You know they will.
And yes, that *is* the saddest part.
My god… These people are fruitcake whacko bananas. This is beyond Orwellian doublespeak. I can only imagine the conversation when they wrote the script in their secret underground bunker: “How do we lie our asses off and make Ms. Gay look like the victim?”
Ding ding ding ding. We have a new daily winner!
Wouldn’t “the long march thru the institutions” include the institution of higher education? Communists are nothing if not thorough.” Here are a few pithy quotes from former Communist, Whittaker Chambers, about the character of Communists and their communism. https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/748601-witness
All this person has done is yell, “that’s racist.” her entire career.
This is exactly who and why Obama wanted this person as head of Harvard
Some of Gay’s efforts were focused on:
Race, indigeneity, and migration are integrally related in international law. This relationship can be traced to their origins in a legal system dedicated to facilitating European colonialism and imperial expansion.
Seems Cambridge and Yale also focus on this same issue.

Gotta ask: Does anybody else get that deBlasio vibe when viewing photos of Claudine Gay and her husband?
https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/6lpmfGlD0srtechfD.61Pw–/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTcwNQ–/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2022-12/5b8e6160-7d65-11ed-bb9e-398edd6e1415
Chirlane McCray, deBlasio’s now estranged wife, has reverted to identifying as an “out” lesbian.
Is this a communist solidarity virtue signal or something?
This Country is rife with sickos. It is beyond pathetic how we got here. Idiots and losers signed up with the Lefties because they had no skills to make a life for themselves otherwise.
all I got to say when I see photos like that is
“pick the bottom”
During his review of Gay’s plagiarism, Mr. Egan notes Mrs. Gay has not been “accused of stealing ideas,” she has been accused of “copying other people’s writing without attribution.” Yes, he actually said that.
I get it. I didn’t steal sundance’s paragraph above, I just felt like claiming those words myself by omitting 2 irritating quotation marks. Only a sycophantic liberal would attempt to reduce plagiarism to a trivial punctuation error.
I do not believe Gay passed her footnote course.
She skipped over it.
Gayly I might add.
This guy is actually giving her a pass on not citing others work in papers she wrote.
So, is that no longer required at Ivy League schools?
Cuz it seems it was STANDARD from late Elementary School straight thru PhD level back in the day.
Did he just “out” every Ivy League school in the US?
Poison Ivy League.
And I saw that somewhere…do not know the origin but am openly letting you know that I lifted that one!
What about the members of the board who didn’t want to fire her?
When the people that give so much money to Harvard are finally sufficiently disgusted enough to say, “no more” – then perhaps, we will see real change.
When will this rancid onion be ripped apart?
If they just take a look at that Biography that Monticello posted above, I think they’ll all bail on Harvard.
It just depends on “what your definition of IS is “
Ugh!
Funny, I have never heard Harvard and the word ‘Corporation’ used together before. Legalese?
Be sure that your sins will find you out. Watching the leftist spinmeisters reveals all one has to know about their character and judgement.
Was Claudine Gay put into place at Harvard to protect Obama from any curious journalists who might have felt compelled to investigate his tenure at the Harvard Law Review and critique his writings?
dunno, but I like how you think, Sherri
… anyone know whether this was before or after Barky’s alleged “Harvard years” ?
Wasn’t that supposed to be from his time at Occidental?
Before. It was when he was At Occidental College in L.A.
I believe.

Young Mister Egan may have followed the example of his selected POTUS who I vividly remember insulting me and other returning war veteran students back in 1972; when he laughed and took pride in plagiarizing and cheating his way to the college degree. At the time I felt remorse for the good citizens of Delaware, but over the many years the heart has hardened. Now the permissive will reap just due. Yes, now there is no excuse nor avoidance of Plan B as a reckoning is the light at the end of the tunnel and the locomotive has left the station.
I truly am sorry you were treated that way. Basically the only reason I was born was so my biological father didn’t have to go. He turned out to be…..Yes our current pResident is a pos.
Another Loser, apparently!
Another entitlement obsessed race monger.
Reductions in early applications….
Ya think! Jewish students are being threatened. Any parent would have to be crazy to send their kids there because who is next, Christians, white students, conservatives, real men or women, the list is endless as to who the radical mobs will go after.
Plagiarism warrants a discipline referral, a guaranteed “F,” and a whole lot of trouble where I teach. It is called theft — as in stealing from someone else. I teach in a middle school.
Is this fake con artist representative of what my students will endure at college? Way to go! If you are a minority and teach at the supposed mecca at the university level — there are NO rules for you!!!
This reminds me of the jaded actress scandal a few years ago. College entrance exams were faked and paid for to enroll their entitled children into universities.
💩 rises to the top these days. It reminds me of those installed in government. These people belong to the same club. Ask George Carlin. He described the situation perfectly.

Barack Obama
Despite being offered a full scholarship to Northwestern University
School of Law, Obama enrolled at Harvard Law School in the fall of
1988, living in nearby Somerville, Massachusetts.[61] He was selected
as an editor of the Harvard Law Review at the end of his first
year,[62] president of the journal in his second year,[56][63] and
research assistant to the constitutional scholar Laurence Tribe while
at Harvard.[64] During his summers, he returned to Chicago, where he
worked as a summer associate at the law firms of Sidley Austin in 1989
and Hopkins & Sutter in 1990.[65] Obama’s election as the first black
president of the Harvard Law Review gained national media
attention[56][63] and led to a publishing contract and advance for a
book about race relations,[66] which evolved into a personal memoir.
The manuscript was published in mid-1995 as Dreams from My Father.[66]
Obama graduated from Harvard Law in 1991 with a Juris Doctor magna cum
laude.[67][62]
What do Robert Noxon Toppan and Barack Obama have in common ?
Both have a disklike for hard currency :

What the most narcissistic resignation letter of all REALLY reveals: MAUREEN CALLAHAN mercilessly skewers Claudine Gay’s self-pitying farewell to Harvard… where hilariously, she’s the REAL victim cruelly dethroned by bigots
Claudine Gay may have resigned, but that doesn’t mean she’s sorry.
The resignation letter she released Tuesday afternoon is a doozy. Truly, it’s one for the books, lengthy and self-pitying and utterly shameless, signed by Gay herself — sans irony — as the sole author!
Really: Are we to believe she wrote this on her own?
Then again, this sayonara is so unoriginal, so predictable in its grievances, it’s quite possible.
Let’s start with the subject line: ‘Personal News’.
Is it? Is it really ‘personal news’ when you have been making national headlines for months and dragging the world’s top university down with you, first for failing to condemn antisemitism before Congress, then over well-founded accusations of plagiarism, then for a cover-up orchestrated on your behalf by Harvard Corporation, and then for six more instances of plagiarism emerging the morning of your resignation?
Most would agree that this story is bigger than Claudine Gay.
Except, that is, for Claudine Gay.
‘When I became president’, she writes, ‘I considered myself particularly blessed by the opportunity to serve people from around the world who saw in my presidency a vision of Harvard that affirmed their sense of belonging’.
Harvard Law graduated the first black American president decades ago. It’s fair to assume that top minds the world over aren’t applying to Harvard to feel ‘seen’ and ‘validated’.
If this resignation letter proves anything, it’s that Claudine Gay is an unoriginal thinker, a terrible writer, and a supremely unserious person. She was never up to this job, because in her mind, her race and gender were reason enough to deserve it.
The resignation letter she released Tuesday afternoon is a doozy. Truly, it’s one for the books, lengthy and self-pitying and utterly shameless, signed by Gay herself — sans irony — as the sole author!
‘Frightening’, she writes, that for the past few months she has been ‘subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus’.
As if Gay hadn’t been protected so long by Harvard Corp precisely because of her race. As if other black scholars, Carol M. Swain and John McWhorter among them, hadn’t said that Gay needed to go.
To turn around and imply that racism is the animating force behind her resignation is beyond cynical. It’s narcissistic, self-serving and damaging.
There is not one iota of responsibility taken in this letter. Not one shred of remorse or sorrow for what she has put the institution through, for the board members who defended her, or for the $1 billion in endowments she lost during her short, disgraceful tenure.
Not one reference to the instances of plagiarism nor a heartfelt mea culpa to the scholars whose work she stole.
Not a single apology to Harvard’s Jewish students and faculty, who should never have had to abide a president telling Congress that on-campus calls for the genocide of Jews depended on ‘context’.
