Harvard's Biden-Campaign-Connected Media Flack Sends a Defamation Lawyer to Threaten the New York Post About Its Reporting on Plagiarizing Antisemite Affirmative-Action Dullard and Clown Claudine Gay

Huh -- a Biden campaign staffer attempting to silence the New York Post about a relevant political story.

The corrupt tyrannical Democrat Party will never change until we take a train spike and drive it through its head.

Harvard University covered up a high-level investigation into whether its controversial president was a plagiarist -- and used an expensive law firm to threaten The Post over our own probe.

The college announced Tuesday morning that it had investigated Claudine Gay over whether some of her academic work was plagiarized and had cleared her of breaching the college's "standards for research misconduct."

Instead, it said that she would request four corrections in two publications to insert citations and quotation marks that were originally "omitted."

But The Post can disclose that Harvard spent weeks failing to come clean about Gay being under investigation -- staying quiet even when she was hauled in front of Congress for disastrous testimony on how the Ivy League college is dealing with antisemitism on campus.

...

The Post contacted the university on October 24, asking for comment on more than two dozen instances in which Gay's words appeared to closely parallel words, phrases or sentences in published works by other academics.

...

When The Post brought the allegations to Harvard, Jonathan Swain, its senior executive director of media relations and communications, asked for more time to review Gay's work.

A day later Swain, who was part of the Biden-Harris transition team and a one-time Hillary Clinton aide, said he would "get back in touch over the next couple of days."

And two days later, on Oct. 27, The Post was sent a 15-page letter by Thomas Clare, a high-powered Virginia-based attorney with the firm Clare-Locke who identified himself as defamation counsel for Harvard University and Gay.

Can you feel the pulsating support for free speech and free inquiry?

...

Academics whose work appeared startlingly similar to Gay's differed in whether they felt she had appropriated their work without attribution.

Among the papers under scrutiny are 2017's "A Room for One's Own? The Partisan Allocation of Affordable Housing," published in Urban Affairs Review and written while Gay was dean of social science at Harvard.

In the paper, Gay uses phrases which closely parallel ones in a 2011 paper by Anne Williamson, a professor of political science at the University of Miami in Ohio.

Williamson told The Post she was "angry" when she read the excerpts.

"It does look like plagiarism to me," she said.

"If they are going to do what they did, then I should be cited as a reference. My first reaction is shock. The second reaction is puzzlement. There was a way to draw from my paper. All she had to do is give me a credit."

This Free Beacon article has slides showing side-by-side comparisons of Claudine Gay's "words" and the words she stole from the original texts. It's pretty damning.

Check out just this one gif.

Remember, she doesn't put quotes around the words and in some cases doesn't even provide a citation even alerting the reader that she's even read the person she's stealing from.

Yesterday I heard Tucker Carlson chuckling over the fact that this 53-year-old "scholar," supposedly such a towering scholar that she's qualified to lead Harvard University, never bothered to write a f***ing book.

She just wrote a smattering of articles. Almost all of which were partly or substantially plagiarized.

You know, like Buzzfeed bloggers do.

This article points out that Harvard is getting exactly what it paid for -- a DEI figurehead and raging leftwing firebrand.

They never sought a scholar or an honest person.

What none of them, least of all the members of the Harvard Corporation, want to say out loud is that Gay wasn't tapped for her scholarship, and they aren't about to hold her to the standards of a serious scholar. Obviously.

No, Gay was chosen for a different set of credentials--her race, gender, political views, and religious devotion to DEI--and she is delivering on her promise to rededicate the university to identity politics.

To that end, she engineered the defenestration of Roland Fryer, allegedly on Title IX charges, after the star black economist ruffled feathers by debunking myths of rampant police violence. She helped strip Ronald Sullivan, a black Harvard Law professor, of an administrative post because he served on Harvey Weinstein's defense team. She even dismissed allegations of research fraud against Ryan Enos, a Harvard government professor, who just so happened to find that Republicans are racist--a recurring theme in Gay's own (well, not really) work.

Megyn Kelly and Andrew Klavan list Claudine Gay's long history of cancelling people over their heterordox views, such as cancelling the funding for one (black) professor finding that the stats simply did not support he BLM narrative of racial disparities in police shootings. Or of allowing her own DEI staff to ring-lead a trans-bullying crusade against a researcher into testosterone who felt she had scientific evidence that there were some sex differences between the two genders. (Two genders! Heresy!)

This is the plagarizing, lying, thieving antisemtic unqualified cunt who claimed she only allowed chants of "intifada!" on her campus because of her absolute commitment to free speech.
