President Joe Biden has faced allegations of plagiarism throughout his career, including speeches, statements, and documents. Now, a new accusation of plagiarism has emerged, coming from a Harvard Law School graduate.

Roger Severino, who serves as the vice president at the Heritage Foundation, has claimed that he discovered instances of plagiarism in Biden’s work. He was shocked by what he found, stating that Biden had borrowed significant portions of his work from an essay he had written.

Severino recounted in a thread posted on a social media platform last week that during his time as a junior editor at the Harvard Journal on Legislation in 2000, he was tasked with reference-checking an essay authored by Biden. In the process, he uncovered several instances of plagiarism in Biden’s work.

Severino asserted that Biden had “borrowed language” from a Supreme Court opinion for an essay in which the then-U.S. senator supported the federal Violence Against Women Act without properly attributing sources or using quotation marks, giving the impression that the content was his own.

“He had lifted language straight out of a [federal court] opinion, changed a couple words, and called them his own. There were no quote marks and no footnote or anything else attributing the court as the source,” Severino said.

However, what transpired next was also troubling and emblematic of the prevailing left-leaning bias in some of the nation’s most prestigious academic institutions.

Severino explained that instead of expressing gratitude for his efforts to preserve the Journal’s integrity, his senior editors chose to “protect Biden” by retroactively adding quotation marks and the appropriate citations to make the essay appear more legitimate.

“They fixed the plagiarism by adding proper attributions and acted like the whole incident never happened. But this was no innocent mistake, where Biden forgot a quote mark or two, which would be bad enough,” Severino wrote.

The Post Millennial added:

Severino said he believes that the 4th Circuit ruling in Brzonkala v. Virginia Polytechnic Institute was the court case that Biden failed to properly cite in the article, according to the Daily Mail.

The Harvard law school grad called Biden’s actions “brazen” considering the President’s past documented history of plagiarism.

“Biden was already known to have plagiarized before this article crossed my desk yet was brazen enough to try it again,” Severino noted further on X.

During his political career, Biden has faced several accusations of plagiarism. One of the most notable incidents occurred in 1988 when he had to exit the presidential race due to using parts of a speech by Neil Kinnock, the former leader of Britain’s Labor Party, without proper attribution.

Additionally, Biden has acknowledged a past mistake during his law school years at Syracuse Law School in the 1960s. He admitted to unintentionally incorporating five pages from a law review into one of his essays.

“I was wrong, but I was not malevolent in any way,” Biden stated, according to the UK’s Daily Mail. “I did not intentionally move to mislead anybody. And I didn’t. To this day, I didn’t.”

Recently, during a press conference, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made an unexpected revelation following another instance of President Biden making an inaccurate statement. This came in response to a reporter’s question regarding a statement made by the president concerning the passing of former New Mexico governor and Clinton Energy Secretary Bill Richardson.

“The initial statement from the president about the passing of Governor Bill Richardson included condolences for his wife of 50 years, Barbara, and their daughter, Heather. That line about Heather, the daughter, has been removed because they didn’t have a daughter named Heather — or a daughter. So can you walk us through how these press releases are fact-checked; who signs off on them in the end; and then, in this case, how this error was made?” a reporter asked KJP.

“So, look, we apologize for the error,” Jean-Pierre began. “Certainly, that is not something that, you know, we want to do, right? We want to make sure that we get this information out clearly and in a straightforward way to the American people. So, that was not done intentionally. And certainly, when we realized that error, it was removed from the website.”

But what she said next was startling.

“We do have fact-checkers here. We do have multiple people who take a look at — at the press releases, especially from the president. This was just a miss, unfortunately. And we apologize for that miss,” she admitted.
