Joe Biden is being accused of plagiarizing the words of a left-wing Canadian politician in his convention speech.
In his highly anticipated convention speech on Thursday, the Democratic nominee said, “Love is more powerful than hate. Hope is more powerful than fear. And light is more powerful than dark.â€
Canadians were quick to point out that those words were extremely similar to the dying message of Jack Layton, the leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party, who in 2011 wrote, “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair."
CBC correspondent Alexander Panetta pointed out the similarities on Twitter.
