Argentine President Javier Milei has been accused of plagiarizing a speech from the television series 'The West Wing' for his address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York. In his maiden UN speech, Milei allegedly used dialogue almost word-for-word from a speech made by fictional US President Josiah Bartlet in the show. His head of communications admitted to watching the entire series between seven and nine times. It is reportedly not the first time Milei has used material from 'The West Wing' in his speeches.
