The actor and comedian Andy Vázquez has once again stirred up social media by delivering a sarcastic and ironic response to Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, the national coordinator of Cuba's Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR).
Recently, Hernández, a former spy from the failed Wasp Network, publicly insulted Vázquez, labeling him as "a sycophant, opportunist, and sellout" after a viral joke the comedian made about a "new Cuban national currency" featuring an image of Donald Trump.
Known for his character Facundo Correcto on the popular show 'Vivir del Cuento,' Vázquez countered the insults using humor as both a defense mechanism and a form of protest.
On Instagram, Vázquez shared a video of himself literally "crawling" on the ground before hopping into his 2024 Chevrolet Camaro. Amid laughter, he remarked:
"I might be a sellout, but look at what I’ve got, all paid by me. Camaro 2024... Chevrolet... a thousand dollars a month. I don't need to suck up to anyone to ride in that CDR junk you're in."
The video, captioned "I'm a sellout...," quickly went viral, garnering thousands of reactions and supportive comments.
On Facebook, Vázquez posed a question to the official, calling him out: "What's up, CDR guy?" He shared another clip where he didn't hold back, stating, "I'd rather be an opportunist, shameless, and a sellout than raise a child for the bodyguard left to watch over your wife... cuckold!"
Through his posts, Andy turned a bureaucrat's insults into comedic material, transforming political insults into collective laughter. His response, both direct and clever, reaffirms that humor remains the most effective weapon against intolerance and authority.
