I have something interesting to share about @McCormickProf, one of the intellectual darlings of the Right
Few weeks ago, he published an op-ed in the @nytimes. Interesting, some good points. But, oh boy, did that essay sound familiar to something he published last year in @NRO
Turns out there are indeed similarities.

This is recycling words, which is technically plagiarism.
That's right, the intellectual darling of many Conservatives just committed plagiarism in @nytimes national publications.
It's lazy, no doubt. And I really don't think we need another witch hunt. But this matters...

This matters largely because it's set against the backdrop a massive witch-hunt for Black academics who have been accused of plagiarism by people like @aaronsibarium for doing some of the exact same sloppy recycling.
Is the outrage machine coming for @McCormickProf? Will the self-anointed plagiarism police file a complaint, or is there a clear double-standard for White and Black academics?
And it's certainly worth asking what other forms of recycling have been used by George?
