Vice President-elect Kamala D. Harris told a story about her participation as a little girl in a civil rights march that mirrors an account told by the Rev. Martin Luther King.
Social-media users Monday noted the similarities in an account Ms. Harris gave in an October interview with Elle magazine with an anecdote King told Playboy about a march in Birmingham, Alabama.
In the interview with Alex Haley for the January 1965 issue of Playboy, King described a moment “I never will forget.”
“A little Negro girl, seven or eight years old … was walking in a demonstration with her mother,” King said. “‘What do you want?’ the policeman asked her gruffly, and the little girl looked him straight in the eye and answered, ‘Fee-dom.’ She couldn’t even pronounce it, but she knew. It was beautiful!”
Apparently Ms. Harris also answered a question about her desires as a young girl at a civil-rights march with a mispronunciation of the same word.
According to the fawning Elle profile, Ms. Harris “remembers being wheeled through an Oakland, California, civil rights march in a stroller with no straps with her parents and her uncle. At some point, she fell from the stroller (few safety regulations existed for children’s equipment back then), and the adults, caught up in the rapture of protest, just kept on marching. By the time they noticed little Kamala was gone and doubled back, she was understandably upset.”
The circumstances were different, but what followed next resembles King’s account.
“My mother tells the story about how I’m fussing,” Ms. Harris told Elle. “She’s like, ‘Baby, what do you want? What do you need?’ And I just looked at her and I said, ‘Fweedom.’”
The similarities prompted charges of plagiarism from GOP officials and conservative and other social-media users, some of whom noted that President-elect Joseph R. Biden had a history of lifting others’ words too.
“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are two plagiarizing frauds. Biden plagiarized during law school and from RFK, Hubert Humphrey, JFK, and he stole the family history of a British politician,” rapid response director Steve Guest wrote on Twitter.
“Now Kamala Harris plagiarized from MLK,” he wrote.
Seth Mandel, executive editor of the Washington Examiner Magazine let out a hearty guffaw — “Lmmmaaaaoooooooo” — on Twitter and then wondered aloud about telling famous stories.
“Plagiarizing an MLK interview seems like the kind of thing you’ll get caught on. Why do ppl do this to themselves,” he asked.

How is anyone surprised by what these two do anymore? From sleeping your way to a top position in California, to letting your drug-addled son take dirty money from China and make sure the “big guy” gets his hefty cut, these two are as crooked as the day is long.
Kamala will say literally anything to enamor herself with a dumbed-down populace.
Pretending to like and listen to rap music? Check
Putting people in jail in California for weed offenses while freely admitting she herself partook? Check
Pretending to stand for “work place equality” while servicing Willie Brown? Check
Felonia Milhouse VonPantsuit is horrible, but at least she makes no bones about it. She’s horrible and she owns it.
Kamala…she’s the awful girl in highschool who would do the bidding of the evil teenagers so they would like her.
Then baby Kamala ran into little Willie Brown who said to her “brow me”. So she did.
That, sir, was funny as hell
Laugh out loud hilarious. Thank you.
My sleepy eyes read this to say, “bwow me.” Still funny.
Many years later Kamala’s mother asked her, “Baby, how did you rise to the top so fast?”
And Kamala said,”Bwo jobs.”.
Great minds think alike.
Yes, WE do!
Honestly, bro, I did NOT see your comment when I posted. Otherwise, I would not have posted pretty much the same thing. Who do you think I am? Milton Berle? 🙂
Obviously, we wrote at the same time and I hit the send button a bit before you. I’ll forever think of it as the time me and The Stuck double-teamed Kamala.
FWEEDOM!!!
Notice the cop looks like Romney?
This is why building your party around and importing more 85-IQ voters makes ruling soooo much easier. Anyone who doubts Kamala, just as anyone who doubted Obama, is racist.
This disgusting hag does not have a drop of American blood, was raised mostly in Canada, and whines all the time about “oppression”. She is the spawn of a Jamaican Marxist academic and a Hindu woman, who were in the U.S. on temporary visas when she was born. Just as the Duke of Wellington said being born in a barn does not make you a
horse, being plopped out somewhere in the United States does not make you an American. Only a moron could misinterpret the meaning of the 14th Amendment.
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States AND SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION THEREOF, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”
For the morons out there, such as the Federal judges who have failed to properly rule on these cases, that phrase in bold letters (mine) means that some people born in the U.S. ARE NOT U.S. citizens. This includes people such as Harris. Her parents were merely passing through the U.S. when she was born. She is a Jamaican or Indian; she is NOT an American. Her parents were not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S. They were subject to the jurisdiction of Jamaica and India, full stop.
Believe me, if you are arrested in Jamaica because you foolishly decided to vacation there, you better believe you will claim the “jurisdiction” of the U.S. and demand to speak with the U.S. embassy. Ditto for the parents of Harris.
If this hideous slut assumes the title of vice president on 20 January, Trump has utterly failed in his duty to protect the Constitution.
Kamala’s Sperm and Egg donors. They should have had an abortion.
Her father has come out and called her a liar. Her own father. What does that signify for the country moving foreword. The woman is slime and she’s stupid to boot. The only things besides blow jobs that she excels at are brown nosing and lying. Her jewish husband is rubbing his hands at the prospect of being the new Hillary.
The Virtue Signaling just BURNS. What was she (at best), like 1 year old if any of it is to be believed? PLEEEEEEZ.
Like the one last week about celebrating Kwanza before it was even “invented.” Total skank.
What a hack and a disgrace to Dr. King’s memory. She banged her way to the top like this post says in the tags.
Who did MLK, the drunken Marxist rapist steal the story from. Could it be the same person he plagiarized his doctorate from?
Manufactured history that fits in with the 1619 scam and communist core……
She is a COMPLETE and TOTAL phony. Much like ALL Lefties. ALL of them.
One of the most hilarious and illuminating recent stories of the last week is the one about Alec Baldwin’s trophy wife, “Hilaria”. She claimed to be Spanish, from “Mallorca” and she sometimes had trouble with the English language. In one clip, she couldn’t quite come up with the word for cucumber “en anglais.” The host of the cooking show had to help her out with it. It turns out her name is really Hillary and she was born and raised all her life in Weston, Massachusetts. Her family had been in the US for generations!
Think about that. She is a semi-celebrity. Thousands of people, including her smug, virtue signaling, idiot husband and her parents were aware of the lie, yet they allowed it to go on and on. For years. In fact, they actively participated in it. She finally got called out and still had the arrogance to try to continue the lie. Dumb-Dumb Alec had the audacity to actually attack the people who were calling out her fraud. Biden uses the same tactic when somebody brings up Hunter. It is Standard Operating Procedure for them and it WORKS!
Don’t even get me started on the Bidens, the Clintons and the Kennedys. By our standards, these people would be considered clinically insane. It is absolutely amazing what they get away with because they are on the Left.
Yes, it is funny when these phonies get called out, but they have no shame and there are really never any repercussions for them. They always get a pass. Their side owns the media and all of the centers of power. That is not funny at all. It means they can do or say anything. They can steal a presidential election in an obvious and ham-handed manner. It is dead serious when these assholes end up in charge of us.
EVERYBODY who has heard this preposterous story from Kamala knows she is lying. Even SHE knows she is lying, yet there is NO push back. NONE. It seems like this can’t go on forever, but maybe it can. It permeates every corner of our culture and is constantly promulgated by the media and entertainment industries who are complete phonies themselves. It seems to be working well for them so far. Maybe that’s the future.
Amen… and Awomen.
“Fweedom”. Sounds like Elmer Fudd asking Bugs Bunny what he wants. Kommie Harris is beyond despicable.
You are being WAY too kind sir.
