We have all seen how busy @RepLeeZeldin @leezeldin has been lately.
Busy not with issues important to #NY01 or his constituents, but defending Donald John Trump against the impeachment inquiry.
200 Tweets defending, deflecting & deriding while OUR issues receive ZERO attention.

As further evidence of Mr. Zeldin’s preoccupation with Donald John Trump’s impeachment at the expense of the people he represents and their issues, we present his latest OpEd offering in @RiverheadLOCAL: 
Well you say, at least Mr. Zeldin (after four State of Emergency declarations) is paying attention to an issue of significance for East End residents.
True, but a closer look reveals that Mr. Zeldin (or his staff) did not write a large swath of the OpEd.
It was plagiarized.

Soldier. Attorney. Plagiarist
It was taken without direct attribution or footnote or at barest minimum quotation marks from the Army Corps of Engineers website.

Unbelievably plagiarism is not the only ethical affront Mr. Zeldin commits in this OpEd.
You will note he has taken credit for delivering this grant:
1. He starts the paragraph by taking sole credit,

1. He starts the paragraph by taking sole credit,
2. He excises from the plagiarized Army Corps verbiage that Cornell Cooperative Extension was the grantee, aka the entity that submitted the grant, did the science, intellectual heavy lifting and advocacy needed to bring in the grant money for the project,
3. He fails to indicate that the effort and grant application actually predates his time in office:
It is high time @RepLeeZeldin @leezeldin is taken to task for his intellectual dishonesty, representing the work of others as his own, taking credit for accomplishments he has had but a tangential role in & ignoring issues important to #NY01 while defending Donal John Trump.
We deserve better than a dishonest, part time “Congressman” who cannot be bothered to write a few of HIS OWN words about an issue crucial to his South Fork and East End constituency.
@threadreaderapp Unroll please.
