It appears that, unlike the January 6 insurrectionists, the supporters of fascist loser Jair Bolsonaro who stormed and vandalized government buildings in Brasilia today were immediately hauled off to the hoosegow. Numerous world leaders have issued statements condemning the riots and expressing support for incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva — except for prominent Republicans in the US, who as far as we can tell have so far remained silent.
As long as folks are getting arrested, we cats vote for Steve Bannon and Jason Miller to be perp-walked, too — and we agree with Congressman Joaquin Castro, who has called for Bolsonaro's extradition from Florida. "Jair Bolsonaro is in Florida, hanging out with Donald Trump," Castro said. "The United States should not be a refuge for this authoritarian who has inspired domestic terrorism in Brazil."
Reporters should not let the likes of Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell, Ron DeSantis and, of course, Benedict Donald skate by without being forced to comment on this. Ball's in your court, journalists. You've let us down many times before — please don't do it this time. We cats HISS.
