Mike Waltz: A Couple of Cuban Thugs That They Call Diplomats Tried to Bully the U.N. Clerk into Cutting My Microphone

‘If they do this on the floor of the United Nations with cameras, crowds and diplomats, imagine what they do behind closed doors to the poor Cuban people’

EXCERPT:

WALTZ: “Yeah, in addition to that, John, what you couldn’t see was a couple of their thugs that they call diplomats was trying to bully the U.N. clerk into cutting my microphone. Fortunately, one of my staff intervened, and as he started filming that altercation off to the side, he was attacked, pushed, slapped, you know, the Cuban slapped the phone out of his hand. And I could tell you what, under President Trump and now on the order of Secretary Rubio, that individual will be on a flight back to Havana and out of this country today. We’re not going to put up with it, number 1. Number 2, John, if they do this on the floor of the United Nations with cameras, crowds, and diplomats, imagine what they do behind closed doors to poor Cuban people. And we had some political prisoners today that described to the world exactly how they’ve been treated.”
