We want to know, you’re a jerk, you crossed the debate these days to slap me, and you said you wanted to do it, you’re not the man for that.”, said Marçal before being attacked.
The presenter was then expelled from the debate and the program continued with the candidates. Guilherme Boulos (Psol), Ricardo Nunes (MDB), Tabata Amaral (PSB) and Marina Helena (New). The former coach left the debate to go to the hospital.
