The accusations of plagiarism continue to pile up for Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, with new reports that an op-ed he wrote in September bears passages that closely resemble an opinion piece that had been published a week earlier.
The piece Paul wrote for The Washington Times (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/sep/20/paul-the-devastating-effect-of-a-drug-war-weapon/?page=all) on mandatory minimums seems to contain three paragraphs that were essentially copied from an op-ed (http://theweek.com/article/index/249578/rethinking-) by a senior editor of The Week, as first reported by Buzzfeed (http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/sections-of-rand-pauls-op-ed-on-drug-sentencing-plagiarized).
