After a video of the session was made public that painted a wretched portrait of Bolsonaro’s far-right administration some believe that he now is – in the mid-term at least. “A horror show,” tweeted Marina Silva, a one-time presidential rival, after she, like much of Brazil, watched the expletive-ridden footage.
