MIKE WALTZ GETS IN SHOUTING MATCH WITH CUBAN DELEGATE AT UN AS AMERICAN DIPLOMAT ASSAULTED:

The broadside against “corrupt Cuban elites” at one point featured Waltz displaying a photo of late dictator Fidel Castro wearing two Rolex watches worth around $40,000 in today’s money.

“According to the regime’s own statistics, that would pay for 55 years of an average Cuban wage,” Waltz noted, before showing a photo of Miguel Díaz-Canel and saying, “It didn’t just start with Castro. This is the current Cuban president, also with a Rolex on.”

The former Florida congressman highlighted reports on the Cuban military-run conglomerate GAESA amassing $18 billion in assets that have enriched regime elites, showing further photos of them flaunting their wealth.

“It’s not just watches, colleagues, it’s also a vast real estate empire,” Waltz continued, sharing images of the Castro family’s 14,000-square-foot seaside retreat in Varadero with marble floors, a sauna and a private dock, as well as the ex-ruling family’s compound made “from cedar imported from the Brazilian Amazon rainforest.”

“But colleagues, even 20 homes and all of these lavish compounds aren’t enough,” Waltz added. “Why settle for mansions by the sea when you can have your own private island? That’s right. The Castro family has their own private island, Cayo Piedra.”
