What the U.S. Can Learn from Bolsonaro’s Coup Conviction
Manage episode 508267809 series 2489871
Tens of thousands of Brazilians took to the streets over the weekend to protest an amnesty bill for former President Jair Bolsonaro, who faces 27 years in prison for attempting to overturn the 2022 election. Trump, who has likened himself to Bolsonaro, called the trial a “witch hunt” and punished the country with 50% tariffs and sanctions on government officials. We look at the parallels between the two men, and what the U.S. can learn from Brazil’s effort to hold its leaders accountable and defend its democracy.
Guests:
Julia Vargas Jones, correspondent, CNN
Juliana Dal Piva, investigative reporter, ICL Noticias and Centro Latinoamericano de Investigación Periodística
Jack Nicas, Brazil bureau chief, The New York Times
