Biden hammered over climate plan plagiarism accusations

Former Vice President Joe Biden is coming under fire over fresh plagiarism allegations after his presidential campaign was forced to update its climate platform amid complaints that the team lifted lines from at least five outside sources without proper credit.

Republicans reacted by accusing Biden of the same offense that famously hampered his 1988 presidential campaign.

President Trump, tweeting from Europe, drew attention to the story Wednesday and called it a “big problem.”

“Plagiarism charge against Sleepy Joe Biden on his ridiculous Climate Change Plan is a big problem, but the Corrupt Media will save him,” Trump said.

The Republican National Committee sought to portray Biden as a serial plagiarist. In an appearance on Fox News on Wednesday, RNC chairmwoman Ronna McDaniel said, "Joe Biden has been plagiarizing for longer than I’ve been alive.”
