Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro went on the offensive on Twitter Thursday after a swipe by activist actor Mark Ruffalo.
The “13 Going on 30” actor send a message to President Joe Biden, who was in Los Angeles at the time for the Summit of Americas, not to meet with Bolsonaro, who has been called Brazil’s Donald Trump.
“Dear @Potus: the man you are meeting with today does not respect democracy and consistently threatens a coup. As the 1/6 hearings begin, remember to stand on the side of democracy,” Ruffalo tweeted. An image was attached to the tweet that read, “Do Not Trust Bolsonaro.”
Bolsonaro ended up meeting with Biden in an awkward exchange. Reuters reported that the two appeared to avoid eye contact.
“We have a huge interest in getting closer and closer to the U.S.,” Bolsonaro through an interpreter. “At times, we've distanced ourselves due to issues of ideology. But I'm sure that since our arrival in the Brazilian government we've never had greater opportunities because of the affinities that our governments have.”
Bolsonaro took issue with the unsolicited foreign policy advice that Ruffalo gave to Biden and mocked his knowledge on world affairs.
“Dear Mark Ruffles, calm dowm! I'm sure you have never read the Brazilian Constitution, but I can assure you it's nothing like the complicated Hulk scripts you have to memorize:"AHGFRR". Read it and you'll find out I'm not only respecting it, but protecting Brazil's rule of law.
The records show my government has always been on the side of democracy and the Constitution. It's the Brazilian left (your masters) who wants to control the press, curb freedom of speech, censor the internet and financially support dictatorships like Cuba and Venezula, not me.
Let me make it simple: if Captain America was elected by +55million people and Thanos, who is a foreigner and doesn't know anything about the US, tries to interfere in the American territory or electoral process, it's Thanos and not the Captain who is disrepectin democracy.
By the way, the original Hulk was much cooler. He didn't need a computer to look strong and actually understood something about nature.”
The Trends Journal has pointed out that Bolsonaro is trailing former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Lula has spoken out against the U.S. intervention in Ukraine.
