Carlos Bolsonaro attacks Rodrigo Maia: 'That size and still hungry'

247 - Councilman Carlos Bolsonaro, son of Jair Bolsonaro, attacked the president of the Chamber of Deputies on Twitter this Monday, the 6th. In a post, Carlos reproduced a video of Maia commenting: "That size and still hungry!".

In the video, Maia criticized the actions of supporters of the federal government, in an interview with TV Band on Sunday, the 5th. The head of the Chamber of Deputies stated that the "hate cabinet" is operating in the Presidential Palace and denounced that Brazilian businessmen "sponsor" bots to spread fake news on social media.

“Every week they try to create a new narrative to weaken Parliament, to weaken Minister Mandetta. (…) I think that society at this moment is beginning to understand that there is a lot of false information, a lot of lies, but, more than that, a lot of irresponsibility, which has unfortunately often been orchestrated by the President of the Republic himself,” Maia also said in the interview.

The congressman is just one more person being attacked by Bolsonaro supporters to defend Jair Bolsonaro, who is becoming increasingly isolated. Besides Maia, the vice-president, General [name missing], is also among those being attacked. Hamilton Mourão, the governor of Maranhão, Flavio Dino and, most importantly, the Minister of Health, Luiz Henrique MandettaThey were targets of attacks on social media. In addition, obviously, to the state governors.

The situation arises from the federal government's isolation regarding policies to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. While the centrist bloc, governors, and Mandetta defend the WHO's guidelines in favor of social isolation, Bolsonaro and some business leaders are campaigning for an end to the quarantine with the slogan "Brazil Cannot Stop."
