I was initially inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to @WesleyLHuff on the plagiarism allegations, bc it's easy to improperly cite a source innocently, and Wes was initially claiming that all of this was years ago when he was a young student, and in unpublished work. It now seems pretty clear that virtually none of that is true, and that the scope and duration of the plagiarism was a lot worse than he was letting on.
Unfortunately (but predictably), a lot of people quickly rallied behind their “side,” dismissing @maklelan and his arguments because he’s in the wrong tribe. But I wanted to highlight two people who seemingly didn’t: @BMcGrewvy and @MikeWingerii clearly put love of Truth over ideological tribe, at least in the comments that I've seen from them. And I’ve got to say, as much as I disagree with Mike Winger’s views on Catholicism, he seems to consistently be on the side of the angels when it comes to scandals in the Church and he takes a lot of flack from fellow Evangelicals for it. So my respect to him and McGrew and anyone who avoided the tribal impulse.
And please, pray for Wes and his family amidst this. Whatever his faults, he’s a man with tremendous talents and a heart for the Lord who seems to be going through a terrible crucible right now between this scandal and family medical issues. 🙏

Since this is becoming public knowledge now through sources other than me: I can confirm that Wes Huff was dropped by his would-be doctoral supervisor and his board resigned amid plagiarism concerns this summer. Huff kept multiple people in the dark with his own narrative spin.View quoted post on X
