Emicida on Bolsonaro: "elect a murderer, expect a genocide" (video)

"That same clown, that same worm who compared quilombola people to animals on that sad occasion a few years ago is sitting in the president's chair, right? What is most disgusting in this country is represented by that kind of thinking," said rapper Emicida.

247 - Rapper Emicida spoke about Bolsonaro in a live stream he held last Sunday (10). Recalling the occasion when an elderly woman in the United States walked down the street wearing a shirt that said 'elect a clown, expect a circus', in reference to the then US president-elect, Donald Trump, Emicida transposed the slogan to the Brazilian reality. 

"Some time ago, around the time Donald Trump won the election, there was an old lady walking around in the United States wearing a shirt that said 'elect a clown, expect a circus.' When we bring that to the reality of Brazil, we see the actions of this useless person occupying the Presidential Palace. Then you think, man: elect a murderer and expect a genocide, that's our reality," said Emicida.

"That same clown, that same worm who compared quilombola people to animals on that sad occasion a few years ago is sitting in the president's chair, right? What is most disgusting in this country is represented by this kind of thinking. The thinking of people who look at us and say, 'Damn, now black people are this, now black people are that, now black people are full of arrogance.' From now on, my friend, it's only going to get worse for you because we're not going back, there's no going back," he concluded.
