Democrat John Walsh Withdraws From Senate Race Amidst Plagiarism Scandal
[FREEBEACON] Democrat John Walsh withdrew from the U.S. Senate race in Montana on Thursday in the midst of a scandal over widespread plagiarism in his final paper at the Army War College."I am ending my campaign so that I can focus on fulfilling the responsibility entrusted to me as your U.S. senator," Walsh said in a statement. "You deserve someone who will always fight for Montana, and I will." The New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... reported last month that Walsh had plagiarized large portions of the paper that earned him a masters degree. Subsequent attempts to explain away the plagiarism were panned by election watchers in the state. Posted by: Fred 2014-08-08 |
