Sheriff David Clarke got out ahead of a report accusing him of plagiarizing parts of his master’s degree thesis.
This @CNN hack @KFILE oppo research MO is to accuse plagiarism. I’m next. Did it to Rand Paul, Monica Crowley et al. https://t.co/KgoHKermpe
— David A. Clarke, Jr. (@SheriffClarke) May 20, 2017
The report was teased by the journalist who wrote the story, Andrew Kaczynski, and it couldn’t come at a worse time for Clark, who just accepted a position with the Department of Homeland Security.
News coming….

It comes at a time when an investigation is underway after a prisoner in one of his jails died of dehydration.

For some, the plagiarism accusations were another attempt to do a hit job on a Trump administration member.

@cnnbrk @RaiseURH BREAKING!! CNN caught plagiarizing an actual news station!
FAKE NEWS!!!— Cynthia (@Cynthia_Jeanne3) May 21, 2017
@cnnbrk BS,if you ran all thesis papers you would see that quotes are considered plagiarism and therefore plagiarised. Grow up and report REAL news.

@cnnbrk If you guys spent as much time investigating the JFK assassination, as on Trump stuff, it would be solved. He won. Get over it.

@cnnbrk And CNN LIES ALL THE TIME! You aren’t a news agency. You have no ethics, intregrity, brains or conscience! You’re Lobotomized idiots!

Others took it as an opportunity to attack President Donald Trump and his administration.
@cnnbrk Plagiarism is a prerequisite to work with Trump.

@cnnbrk Shocked that someone who overcompensates with those
hats & military style uniforms full of medals & ribbons
(he didn’t serve) would cheat!— Mark Houghton (@mth952) May 21, 2017
@cnnbrk Trump likes the most corrupt, dishonest people he can find on his team so they’ll lie for him & he has something to hold over their head

@cnnbrk He’s a really horrible person. This is not surprising.

@cnnbrk @JacquiUpNorth44 Plagiarism seems to be a required skill set for Trump family/admin.
— Lois Newton (@ikerepublican) May 21, 2017
@cnnbrk How many plagiarists were tapped by this White House? The Trumps earn by slapping their name on others’ work; do they just attract them?
— J Wood (@mxyzplx) May 21, 2017
Still others, even some who don’t like President Trump, found the story ridiculous.
@cnnbrk I'm not a fan of his but, @CNN is it a slow news day?? Perhaps @MSNBC is reporting real news today. I'll go there…

@cnnbrk rolling my eyes CNN… seriously… this stuff is getting old…

@jjcooper Can you imagine if the right had done that to Obama? They'd arrest us for hate speech. They will insure a large turnout of repub voters 2018

@carrieksada @LindaSuhler @SheriffClarke @JennyCraig The piling on lately by MSM & leftists against @SheriffClarke ? that means Trump made the right decision to hire him.
