Carson's prepared testimony contained apparent plagiarism
By Peter Schroeder - 01/12/17 12:27 PM EST

Remarks prepared for secretary of Housing and Urban Development nominee Ben Carson to deliver at his Senate confirmation hearing Thursday appeared to include a portion of plagiarized text.

Carson, a former neurosurgeon and GOP presidential candidate, did not actually deliver the prepared remarks before the Senate Banking Committee.

Instead, he quickly departed from written remarks provided to the committee and the public, which were posted on the committee's site. But two paragraphs of that text appeared to be lifted word for word from a 2008 report from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation detailing health risks that can come from substandard housing.

Sorry, but never liked the guy and Trump appointing him to his cabinet is a mistake.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Not a huge fan of Carson but this is ridiculous.  Quoting a report is not the same as "plagerism".  I'm tired of that word being thrown around.  Since it doesn't even appear he used the text this is even more ridiculous.
