Amb. Mike Waltz on Cuba at the UN: They Use This Platform to Talk to the World and Play the Victim
EXCERPT:
WALTZ: “Every year, Brian, the regime comes here and they play the victim, and they introduce these resolutions, for example, about a blockade around Cuba. There's no blockade around Cuba. There's no ring of Navy ships. But they use this platform here to talk to the world and play the victim and shift blame for the failings of the communist regime. What we've done this year, we just brought in a group of political prisoners, artists, musicians, and others that have been jailed by the communist regime to tell their story, experts on Cuban corruption, Cuban regime corruption. The people are starving, there's blackouts, yet the regime officials are living in luxury in Europe and Latin America. There's no fuel on the island, yet there's fuel for their private jet and their private compounds. There's electricity at the Cuban and Chinese intelligence collection sites, but there's no electricity in the hospital. So we brought those experts in to tell the world what's really going on about the failings of communism and the failings of the Cuban regime for many, many years for these people.”
