U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz doubled down today on his claim that the blockade on Cuba doesn’t exist during today’s General Assembly debate.

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez confronted Waltz over his sweeping, unsubstantiated accusations of corruption against Cuba’s leadership, calling him a liar in a heated exchange on the Assembly floor.

For 33 consecutive years, the UN General Assembly has overwhelmingly voted to condemn the U.S. economic blockade on Cuba. This year’s vote comes amid an aggressive campaign by the Trump administration to pressure countries into withdrawing their support for the resolution.

The General Assembly will vote on the resolution tomorrow.

Once again the US makes itself the clown. Shouting to the mic as if the rest were lesser, in a forum that is meant to be where all are equal.

fucking piece of shit, it's really hard for me to call that bag of scum a human being.
