Bolsonaro Attacks Journalists: “You Look Like a Terrible Homosexual”
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Enraged by the corruption charges against the clan, Jair Bolsonaro urged supporters and attacked journalists on Friday, December 20th, during his daily morning parade outside the Alvorada Palace.
Among instructions to “be quiet” and ” let me speak”, Bolsonaro raised his voice repeatedly and replied by attacking questions.
Asked if he still intends to move the Brazilian embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, Bolsonaro mocked the reporter.
“Do you intend to marry me one day? Don’t be prejudiced. Don’t you like blue eyes? That’s homophobia, I’m suing you for homophobia,” he attacked.
On the corruption case under investigation by the Rio de Janeiro Prosecutor’s Office involving his son, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the president again resorted to attacks.
“You look like a terrible homosexual. Even though they don’t accuse you of being a homosexual as it’s not a crime to be a homosexual,” he said, hearing support from the Bolsonarists who greeted him there.
