Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Gordon Ball appears to have plagiarized nearly every word on his issues pages from a vast array of politicians including West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Ball, a practicing attorney, is taking on incumbent Republican Sen. Llamar Alexander in the heavily Republican state.

Ball has likewise used much of the plagiarized text in an interview.

Ball told BuzzFeed News that he agrees "with these views and approved the content."

The Senate candidate added, however, he was unaware the text had been taken from a number of different sources word for word.

"I had no idea that this material was cut and pasted on my website from other sources," he said.

The Tennessee Republican Party has called on Ball to with withdrawn from the race.

"Gordon Ball should quit wasting Tennesseans' time with this fraudulent campaign," Tennessee Republican Party Chairman Chris Devaney said in a press release. "He should do us all a service and withdraw from the race immediately."

According to the The Tennessean the Ball campaign blamed the text on an intern who is no longer with the campaign.
