Gerrymandering: Larry Elder
NOTE: When a paid article reaches the third month, it becomes accessible to you. The issue below is dated January 6, 2024.
In the past month, there were bombardments of news about the plagiarism alleged by former Harvard University President Claudine Gay.
Today’s message aims to tell you whether an American conservative political commentator, Larry Elder (or his researcher), used my 2020 commentary for The Fulrum to write his commentary about President Barrack Obama’s gerrymandering in 2022
After reading his commentary, I declared that Elder did not plagiarize.
However, I have pondered whether he actually researched my commentary or not.
So, I am letting you judge by reading the comparison of his and my commentaries.
My commentary dated October 23, 2020: “Deeds, not words, show Obama is not the reformer he's sounding like.”
Elder’s commentary dated February 24, 2022: “GOP 'Gerrymandering' Is 'Racist' -- Obama-mandering Is Just Politics.”
Wisconsin State Journal published mine on October 31, 2020, but changed the title to “Don't trust Obama to fix gerrymandering.”
The last sentence of my commentary reads, “Obama has evolved in the past 20 years from the target of a partisan gerrymander into the invisible gerrymandered.”
