A tasteless Argentinian television host popped open a bottle of champagne on air to celebrate the death of Queen Elizabeth Elizabeth while saying ‘the old b***h has died.’
Santiago Cúneo was in the middle of a his Buenos Aires-based show when he heard about the Queen‘s death.
A viral video clip of Cúneo showed him popping open a bottle of bubbly while surrounded by blue and white balloons. He appeared on air clapping and called for a celebration while a message, ‘The old bag of s*** has died,’ flashed on the screen.
‘She’s done for good,’ he said. ‘Loud applause for Satan who has finally taken her.’
While the journalist celebrated the death of the 96-year-old queen, the Argentinian government posted a tribute and said the country ‘accompanies the British people and her family in this moment of grief,’ according to The New York Post.
Cúneo’s distasteful response to the passing of the queen likely is from anger held onto from the United Kingdom took control of Falkland Islands in South America from the Argentines in 1982.
Some enjoyed Cúeno’s actions while others expressed their disapproval.
‘I am Argentinian and this guy doesn’t represent me. We are sorry for their loss,’ one person wrote on Twitter.
This is not the first time Cúneo has sparked controversy. He was fired in 2019 from a Cronica TV after he allegedly spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
Cúneo was accused of spreading the idea of a Jewish state in Argentina.
