“The Big B” was not behind the riots on January the 8th. Quite correct he was hiding in the U.S.A. just like the coward he is. He was too scared that if he was in the back of the crowd the would have been driven forward to the danger zone where he may have been injured.
Now as to the planning financing and organising that is a totally different matter. It has to be said that his retoric in the period leading up to the elecction was designed to incite unrest and the subsequent public statements were intended to inflame his followers to take the law into their own hand.
I am sure that the timing of the release of the video (10 January) questioning the legitimacy of the 2022 presidential elections he lost to Lula also had nothing to do with causing the riot on January the 8th.
On this one point I will agree with him.
I understand that this timing was due to his poor health. If he had deen healthy he would probably have releases it on the 6th.

Oh, but did he have an affair with Stormy Daniels and pay her off from campaign funds??? Which is what people want to know.

Just to complete the circle and preserve balance in the Universe, you understand.
