INTERNATIONAL EMBARASSMENT! Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations gets CUT OFF and SHUT DOWN for LYING his ass off at the UN General Assembly!
Addressing the representatives of every nation in the world, Trump’s toady Michael Waltz went on an unhinged rant of despicable lies against the beleaguered nation of Cuba and defended the US’s needlessly cruel and unconscionable trade embargo against the island nation.
In typical Trumpian fashion, Waltz vomited out a barrage of ridiculous and baseless lies like he would if he was addressing a Fox News host, confident that there would be no pushback and no consequence. “The United States and the Trump administration wants to set the record straight when it comes to this resolution and to correct the fake news, the misinformation and this false reality the regime seeks to create year after year with this vote. The facts are this is an illegitimate and brutal regime that seeks to cast itself as the victim of aggression while plainly describing itself as quote the enemy of the United States.”
“It’s located just 90 miles off our shore. It conspires and it collaborates with enemies and adversaries of the United States against our interests. The facts are that this regime supports terrorist organizations around the globe.”
“It is allowing mercenaries to fight in the war in Ukraine. It’s propping up the Venezuelan regime and it aids cartels. The facts are that these cartels that it props up are trafficking people, drugs and weapons and is aiding and abetting instability in our hemisphere. They undermine democracies in our hemisphere.”
At this point, the moderator interrupts him for a point of order by Cuba, who quickly shuts him down:
"The Permanent Representative of the United States not only lies and strays substantially from the topic, but also expresses himself in a rude and arrogant manner against your Presidency and against the dignity of this Assembly and the Member States. He does so with uncivilized, crude, and coarse behavior that is not acceptable in this distinguished and democratic forum. Mr. Waltz, this is the General Assembly of the United Nations, not a Signal chat nor the House of Representatives!”
That last line is a reference to Waltz’s involvement in Pete Hegseth’s leaked classified info texting scandal on the Signal platform, which of course was not a disqualifying incident for anyone involved.
It is beyond disgraceful to see this bloodthirsty goon walk into the United Nations and treat the assembled representatives of every country on the planet with such contempt and derision. The United States’ embargo of Cuba is one of the longest-running injustices in the world, economically strangling and isolating a neighboring nation out of sheer spite. Good on Cuba for standing up for themselves and stopping these lies in their tracks. The biggest underminer of democracies in our hemisphere is the Trump regime itself!
