White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was accused of plagiarism after posting this photo of comments Nick Foles made after the Super Bowl when asked, “what would you like people to take from your journey the past few years?”
Sanders wrote, “Nick Foles – Super Bowl MVP and Champion – has a powerful message about failure, faith & family” along with a photo of Foles’ answer (which is awesome, by the way):

But Orlando Sentinel columnist George Diaz accused Sanders of “plagiarism” after not crediting the Los Angeles Times reporter who first tweeted the image:
is there a powerful message about plagiarism as well? since you yanked it off @LATimesfarmer feed? https://t.co/ss5o8MPrJa

Here’s the original from Sam Farmer:

So, Diaz is calling it “plagiarism” when you find an image online and tweet it out to add color to your tweet?
