Bolsonaro threatens to punch reporter who asked questions about corruption and the First Lady
The reporter was part of a group that met Bolsonaro after his regular Sunday visit to the Metropolitan Cathedral in Brasilia Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Sunday threatened to punch a reporter repeatedly in the mouth after being asked about his wife's links to an alleged corruption scheme. “I so want to pound your mouth with punches,” the far-right president said when the reporter posed the question.
The journalist from O Globo was part of a group that met Bolsonaro after his regular Sunday visit to the Metropolitan Cathedral in Brasilia. The president ignored protests from other journalists after the remarks and left without making further comments.
The O Globo reporter asked about a report in the magazine Crusoe linking First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro to Fabrício Queiroz, a retired police officer, friend of the president, and former adviser to her son Flavio Bolsonaro, who is now a senator.
Queiroz and Flavio Bolsonaro are under investigation for a scheme that allegedly swindled pay from government employees when the younger Bolsonaro was a regional lawmaker in Rio de Janeiro, and before Jair Bolsonaro became president in January 2019.
According to the magazine, Queiroz deposited funds in Michelle Bolsonaro's bank account between 2011 and 2016. The first lady has said nothing about the case.
Soon after the president's outburst O Globo issued a statement repudiating his “aggression ... towards a journalist from our newspaper that was carrying out his job in a professional manner.”
Such intimidation “shows that Jair Bolsonaro does not acknowledge the duty of a public servant ... to be accountable to the public.”

It's crystal clear, you are such a notorious liar in your unsupported accusations against myself, and others you don't have a leg to stand on. Moreover, your a classical example of psychological projection “Narcissists are renowned for using psychological projection to blame other people, even when it is entirely apparent that they are the ones in the wrong.”

Aug 31st, 2020 - 09:20 pm 010 secs on the F*ckwitt.....more than clear, if he has said it, it must be right....and goes without saying, is proof.
Only problem is, that the above is pure bs. He repeats his frivolous accusations, “ad nauseam, ad tedium” but no “proofum”. QED. Very sadum.
I'd just like to understand what he hopes to accomplish by repeating what everyone already knows, and re which I never made the slightest effort to hide, i.e., that in 1964 I preferred the military over the communists....and I always will, when and if a similar situation ever arises ...and I'm proud to not be a communist sympathizer .....simple.
But he can't digest the fact that he usually gets the wrong end of the stick, such as “Mourão served in Haiti”, ”Bolsonaro's wife was weak (?)”.....and it's always someone else's fault...doesnt understand and can't even copy a transcript correctly.....hilarious ...oops, daaaamn !!! I spent 60 secs on the smelly thing.
Keep up the good work, growing and exporting avocados....and drinking good wine...a privilege reserved for the relatively few who can, and know how, to enjoy life.
