A tactic used by the democrats.

Cuban diplomats at the United Nations shouted down speakers and disrupted a U.S.-hosted event Tuesday highlighting the plight of Cuban political prisoners, prompting an American ambassador to say if the communist regime’s diplomats behave that way, one can only wonder how its police behave.
“I have never in my life seen diplomats behave the way that the Cuban delegation did today,” Ambassador Kelley Currie told reporters outside. “It was really shocking and disturbing.”
“And it makes you wonder, that if the diplomats of this government behave this way, how do the police behave? You can understand very well why people feel afraid to speak their minds, why people are thrown in jail for speaking their minds, with this kind of government, this kind of thuggish behavior.”
The Cuban delegation, she said, “should be ashamed of themselves for the way that they behaved today.”
Cuba complained that U.N. facilities – the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) chamber and U.N. webcast system – were being used by one member-state to “attack” another.
Asked why the U.S. mission to the U.N. had decided to hold a side event focusing specifically and solely on Cuba, Currie pointed out that Israel is frequently targeted at the United Nations.
“You will note that every day, probably, in the United Nations, there’s an event bashing Israel,” she said. “I mean, hardly a day goes by without some formal U.N.-convened event bashing Israel, let alone side events that do this.”
“So the idea that one country should not be selectively discussed for its human rights problems is patently absurd.”[…]
Rodriguez described the disruption as an exercise of “revolutionary diplomacy,” and said that “the legacy of our historical leader Fidel Castro Ruz is here to defend the dignity and sovereignty of the heroic Cuban people.”
“Cuba is proud of its human rights record,” she said, adding that the U.S. lacked the moral authority to give lessons.
