Why DEI Hires Keep Getting Caught for Plagiarism (& the Kamala Harris Plagiarism Controversy)
In this provocative video, Malcolm and Simone Collins delve into the recent plagiarism accusations against Vice President Kamala Harris and explore a broader trend of academic misconduct among DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) officials. They discuss the apparent double standards in how these incidents are treated compared to similar cases involving non-DEI figures. The video also touches on broader political issues, media bias, and the current state of American democracy.

Malcolm Collins: Hello everyone! I'm excited to be here with you today! Recently, Kamala pulled a bit of a Mr. Bean in terms of trying to copy the test scores from somebody else.
Plagiarization.
We are going to go over this, but also a trend. I have noticed that all of these D. E. I. Individuals, these individuals who are in these positions of unearned power and authority due to their gender and ethnic background. Plagiarization scandals just seem to be happening over and over and over again at a really high rate.
