“I know I’m imbrochable”, says president in a meeting with fighters who support him
President and candidate for re-election, Jair Bolsonaro (PL), received support from Brazilian martial arts fighters such as Roycie Gracie, José Aldo and Maurício Shogun, for the 2nd round of elections. The Chief Executive met with the group this Friday (21.Oct.2022) at the Alliance Jiu Jitsu school, in São Paulo.
To supporters, Bolsonaro confirmed that he will go to SBT at night to participate in a sabbath, since his opponent, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), will not participate in the debate. “The other guy won’t. It broke, yeah. I think I put my hands on his back [no debate da Band], and he got goosebumps,” said.
At the beginning of his speech at the Jiu Jitsu school, the president jokingly declared: “I cannot speak well of myself. I know I’m unbroken. I know that. Among other qualities that I will not talk about here, because, if not, they can frame me in fake news”.
Bolsonaro won a glove and a belt from the athletes. At one point, one of them said: “This glove is for 10 fingers”. One of them pretended to be former President Lula. Bolsonaro then simulated punching him. And he says: “If I had been wearing a red robe, I would have kicked ass already”. The fighters laughed.
Since last Tuesday (Oct 18), these same fighters have been publishing a video in support of the president’s reelection. “Who really fights, votes 22”, state in the recording published in the twitterby Fabio Wajngarten, former Secretary of Communication of the Presidency who now works on the Bolsonaro campaign team.
