Dear John Macco: It wasn't that long ago when you and your fellow Republicans swooned over Trump's bromance with Brazil's strongman Jair Bolsonaro. What happened? Best, Retiring Guy

 

Headline:  WBAY, 9/3/2024

Rep. Macco cites several issues in Brazil while asking the NFL to reconsider the game. 

“In light of the current political and social climate in Brazil, I urge the National Football League (NFL) and Green Bay Packers to reconsider the upcoming game scheduled to be held in Brazil on Friday. The alarming reports of widespread unrest, escalating violence, and profound censorship against U.S. companies operating within Brazil paint a troubling picture of the conditions there.” 

The “censorship” concern may allude to recent news that a Brazilian Supreme Court panel unanimously upheld the decision of one of its justices to block billionaire Elon Musk’s social media platform X nationwide on Monday.

OK, now we get it!  Why don't you just come out and say it?
