Striking similarities were found between Milei’s UN address and a monologue from The West Wing
Argentine President Javier Milei has been accused of plagiarizing the hit US political drama The West Wing during his recent speech at the UN
According to the Buenos Aires Herald, Carlos Pagni, a journalist with the newspaper La Nacion, was the first to notice the “remarkable resemblance” between parts of Milei’s fiery address and the monologue delivered by fictional US President Jed Bartlet.
“We believe in freedom of expression for all. We believe in freedom of worship for all. We believe in freedom of commerce for all and we believe in limited governments, all of them,” Milei told the UN General Assembly on September 24.
“We believe that everyone should live free of tyranny and oppression, be that in the form of political oppression, economic slavery, or religious fanaticism. This fundamental idea cannot remain merely as words. It must be supported in facts, diplomatically, economically, and materially,” he continued.
Nearly identical words were spoken by President Bartlet, portrayed by actor Martin Sheen, to his Cabinet members in episode 15 of season four of the show.
