Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro was at the centre of a firestorm of criticism Wednesday after tweeting obscene footage that he said was proof the country’s famously lurid carnival is out of control.
The video quickly racked up 2.43 million views after the former army officer posted it, widening divisions in the already split population.One of the main hashtags trending on Twitter was #ImpeachmentBolsonaro, while another was #BolsonaroTemRazao, or “Bolsonaro is right.” A third top hashtag was #goldenshowerpresident.
As denunciations lit up the internet, the president followed up with another tweet that asked, “What is a golden shower?” The term is used to describe a sexual fetish. “Bolsonaro, my six-year-old granddaughter saw this scene on Twitter, just like millions of other kids whose parents follow you on Twitter,” said TV journalist Fabio Pannunzio.
