In the US, Weintraub poses with a bullet and suggests that the far-right should take up arms.

247 - Former Education Minister Abraham Weintraub, who is under investigation in two inquiries – one of them in the Supreme Federal Court – and who fled Brazil for the United States using privileges such as a diplomatic passport, used social media to post a photo holding a firearm projectile and ask his followers not to "abandon the fight." 

"Many times, the freedom and lives of your family will depend on small details. You are ultimately responsible for your destiny. Never abandon the fight for freedom," he posted on Twitter. 

Weintraub is being investigated by the Federal Court of the Federal District, through an inquiry initially opened in the Supreme Federal Court for the crime of racism. The inquiry was opened in April due to the then-minister's statements against China. At the time, Weintraub satirized the way Chinese people speak in posts on social media. 

 In another investigation, which is being processed by the Supreme Court, Weintraub is being investigated for attacking the Court's ministers during a ministerial meeting held in April, when he said he would put "those bums" from the Supreme Court in prison.
