TEHRAN, October 05 (MNA) – Argentine President Javier Milei has been accused of plagiarizing the hit US political drama ‘The West Wing’ during his recent speech at the UNAccording 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, RT reported.

“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 Bartlet, who was portrayed by actor Martin Sheen, to his cabinet in episode 15 of season four of the show.

Pagni suggested that the speech was written by Milei’s adviser, Santiago Caputo, who is reportedly a big fan of The West Wing and was said to have made watching the show a condition for joining his political consulting firm.
