Milei Reposts Supporter-Made Animation on Instagram Mocking Rivals as Animals

The post spotlights Milei's tactic of using social media to fuse personal mythmaking with attacks on opponents.

Overview

  • President Javier Milei, who reposted the clip on Instagram on Thursday, shared an animated short that charts his path to the presidency.
  • The video casts public figures as animals in a taunting style, with Milei as a roaring lion in leather echoing his campaign persona.
  • Examples in the clip include Cristina Fernández de Kirchner as a monkey, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta as a lizard, Sergio Massa as a tiger, and Myriam Bregman as a cat.
  • The script reprises earlier flashpoints, from a 2018 on-air dare by Daniel Lipovetzky to 2023 debate lines such as Massa asking if Milei would sell organs.
  • Outlets say a supporter created the piece, with Diario Popular naming the TikTok user “LiberalDeMilei,” highlighting how fan content now moves through official presidential platforms.
