Torture apologist/homophobe/racist Jair Bolsonaro – whose successful election to the Brazilian presidency was the result of a conspiracy among the wealthy
and senior prosecutors and judges, who subverted the justice system in
order to ensure that his rival was kept off the ballot – has presided
over record-breaking Amazon deforestation.
The deforestation was revealed by a Brazilian government report, and
Bolsonaro’s only response to it so far has been to fire the minister who
oversaw the report’s production.
This week, a journalist pressed him on the question of deforestation,
agriculture and the climate, to which Bolsonaro responded that “It’s
enough to eat a little less. You talk about environmental pollution.
It’s enough to poop every other day. That will be better for the whole
world.”
