Ouch..............3 times apparently - in 2 books and in Elle .......... "My mother used to laugh when she told the story about a time I was fussing as a toddler: She leaned down to me and asked, 'Kamala, what's wrong? What do you want?' And I wailed back, 'Fweedom,'" Harris wrote in her 2010 book "Smart on Crime."
Harris also detailed her younger self demanding "Fweedom!" in her 2019 book "The Truths We Hold: An American Journey."
Harris apparently appropriated an anecdote - first told by civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. in 1965 in an Alex Haley interview - when she was interviewed by Elle Magazine for a feature that was published in October, at the height of the 2020 presidential election race.www.americanbazaaronline.com/2021/01/05/kamala-harris-accused-of-plagiarizing-martin-luther-king-jr-443678/

It's possible that the quote was told to her by her mother and that she's relaying a story she came to believe was true. But even if she did intentionally steal the story, it's so benign that I'm not sure why anyone would really care about this. If we found out that Jill Biden lifted chunks of her dissertation from another scholar and tried to claim credit for it, then that would be the kind of plagiarism that would actually matter. This is not even the equivalent of Melania stealing parts of Michelle Obama's speech. Kind of a nonstory tbh...
