i have known in the past and worked with hundreds of senate staffers. i do not know one who would not expect to be fired instantly if caught putting plagiarized material in a senator s speech or in a senator s op-ed piece or senator s book. i don t know a send store who would not immediately fire a plagiarist discovered on his or her staff, but i don t know rand paul. we are in day 10 of the rand paul plagiarism scandal. and rand paul is continuing to pay the plagiarists on his staff with your tax dollars. and he has promised, prom igsed the new york times he will pay the plagiarist he s has put on the senate payroll with your tax dollars. he told the times no one will be fired for the plagiarism he has now very clearly blamed on his staff. like his father before him, rand paul wants to be and will never be president of the united
