Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave a thuggish Cuban envoy the heave-ho from American soil on Tuesday after an unhinged Cuban party hack got into a shouting match with U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz and stormed the podium as Waltz spoke.
In the hallway, Cuban First Secretary Richard Tur de la Concepcion reportedly tried to manhandle Waltz’s spokesman, J.P. Freire, lunging to grab an iPhone that was recording the spectacle.
The U.N. showdown ignited when Waltz took a blowtorch to the island’s corrupt communist brass during an address at the United Nations on Tuesday. Waltz aired the Castro clan’s dirty laundry for the entire world to see. Pointing out the hypocrisy of Havana’s ruling class, the former Green Beret displayed images of the late tyrant Fidel Castro wearing a pair of flashy Rolexes while ordinary citizens starved.
Havana’s hotheaded foreign minister, Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, went ballistic, storming the podium and shouting that Waltz was a “liar.”

Waltz didn’t flinch.
“Back up!” Waltz barked across the chamber floor. “Back up, ambassador. Back away. This isn’t Havana. You’re not going to intimidate me.”
By Tuesday night, Rubio struck back hard.
On Fox News’ “Hannity,” a fiery Waltz revealed that Rubio had already put pen to paper to bounce Tur de la Concepcion straight out of the country.
“He’s gone. He is going to be on a plane to Havana within the next 24 hours,” Waltz declared. “You lay a hand on an American here in the United States, President Trump, Secretary Rubio, and myself, we’re not going to stand for it. There will be consequences.”
Waltz then explained the communist grift that sent the diplomats into hysterics.
“Sadly, the only thing equal about communism is everyone’s equally poor,” Waltz told Hannity. He showed private mansions, yachts, and luxury retreats owned by the Cuban elite while the rest of the island suffers without power or food.
“Here’s the grandson of Castro sitting on his yacht. The entire island doesn’t have any fuel. You know how much it takes to fill up this yacht?” Waltz scoffed. “They thought they could intimidate me and my diplomats. You know I’m a 27-year Green Beret. I’m not going to have it.”
Waltz vowed the days of Havana running roughshod at the United Nations are finished.
“Every time you try to interrupt me, I’m just going to keep pointing out the corruption of the regime … and the fact that one way or another, the Cuban people will see freedom. And I think they will see freedom on President Trump’s watch.”
