Recently, President Joe Biden delivered a speech in France to mark 80 years since the world-altering D-Day invasion. Strikingly, elements of his address bore a distinct likeness to a speech previously delivered by former President Ronald Reagan. The likenesses were so strong, it raised eyebrows and sparked conversation about the potential of content duplication from Reagan's much-lauded address.

The start of Biden's address harkened back to a similar commencement by President Reagan. Where Reagan set the scene saying, 'At dawn on the morning of the 6th of June, 1944', Biden paralleled with an uncannily similar introduction. His recounting of the arrival of two hundred and twenty-five American Rangers echoed Reagan's vivid description of the same historical moment.

Both speeches memorialized the audacious courage of the Rangers. Biden laid out their heroic climb: 'They launched their ladders, their ropes and grappling hooks, and they began to climb', eerily reminiscent of Reagan's oration, 'They shot rope ladders over the face of these cliffs and began to pull themselves up.' The parallels, far from random or coincidental, nudged the similarity towards plagiarism.

Biden's painting of the Rangers' valorous response when faced with Nazi resistance aligned almost identically with Reagan's. According to Biden, 'When the Nazis cut their ladders, the Rangers used the ropes, and the Nazis cut the ropes. The Rangers used their hands.' Reagan's words had previously encapsulated this same spirit: 'When one Ranger fell, another would take his place. When one rope was cut, a Ranger would grab another and begin his climb again.'
