Jair Bolsonaro attracted ridicule after he shared a video of Brazil’s carnival in which several entertainers performed explicit sexual acts.
Brazil’s new far-right President Jair Bolsonaro outraged some Twitter users and attracted ridicule after he shared a video of Brazil’s carnival in which several entertainers performed explicit sexual acts, including a golden showers routine in which one performer urinated on the other’s head.
The series of tweets drew criticism, both from people who claimed Bolsonaro was ridiculing and attempting to discredit the long-held Brazilian tradition of debaucherous Carnival celebrations, and others who argued that it was inappropriate for a president to share such explicit material. Some critics slammed Bolsonaro for sharing “pornography,” and members of the political opposition suggested that they would take the president to court for sharing the content.
Brazilian newspapers ran provocative headlines like “Bolsonaro shares video of man fiddling with his anus and suggests it is a common scene during carnival” and “a pornographic tweet embarrasses the government.”
