    Replying to @SecPompeo @jairbolsonaro

    Recent Bolsonaro quotes: “I’m pro-torture”; “I’m not going to rape you, because you’re very ugly” (to a Congresswoman); and “I’d rather have my son die...than have him show up dating some guy.” He advocated for state-sponsored mass murder too. Any comment on that, @SecPompeo?

        Lady I’m Brazilian, I have knowledge about this quarrel. On this situation Maria do Rosario was defending the rapist. Bolsonaro then said the infamous quote. Was he right? No. Was she right? Neither.

        he said ustra is his hero. ustra raped tortured and killed multiple people... is that a "good" person?? can anyone who agrees with that be EVER considered anywhere near good? reevaluate yourself if you think the ones defending torture are "the good guys"...

        Wow, that escalated quickly. First and foremost, I haven’t said he’s a good guy, or that I love him. I just want him to do the job. If by any circumstances he’s not longer fit for duty, impeachment is good to go.
