Rep. Ilhan Omar Cribbed from Al Jazeera while Grilling Elliott Abrams
February 14, 2019J. Michael Waller   

A comparison of texts shows that Rep. Ilan Omar cribbed from Qatar’s state-owned Al Jazeera to script her diatribe against senior American diplomat Elliott Abrams.

Al Jazeera ran a story, “Who is Elliott Abrams, US special envoy for Venezuela?” on February 12. It had no byline.

Omar recycled the story in her scripted attack against Abrams at a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on February 13. The video of the hearing shows that Omar did not publicly inform the Committee that she was quoting from a foreign state-funded propaganda source.

It's a close match.... still reading, worth exploring.

Note, at the end of the article it says a plagiarism checker would have said she would have been caught for plagiarism.

A quick check of online plagiarism detection services shows that Omar did plagiarize her material:

    Quetext.com rates Omar’s comments as 97% plagiarized.
    SmallSEOTools.com rates Omar’s comments as 100% plagiarized.
    Plagiarisma.net finds Omar’s comments to be “0% unique.”

So, it makes sense, these checkers would exist though I did not know about them. That's pretty convincing!

She was obviously needing to refer to something she didn't write when she attacked Abrams.
