WASHINGTON, Sept 11 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday said the United States would respond, without specifying how, after former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was convicted of plotting a coup to remain in power after losing the 2022 election.
"The political persecutions by sanctioned human rights abuser Alexandre de Moraes continue, as he and others on Brazil's supreme court have unjustly ruled to imprison former President Jair Bolsonaro," Rubio wrote on X.
"The United States will respond accordingly to this witch hunt," he said.
Brazil's Foreign Ministry called Rubio's comment a threat that "attacks Brazilian authority and ignores the facts and the compelling evidence in the records." The ministry said Brazilian democracy would not be intimidated by the United States.

How pathetic that America has come to this. Once the shining star of Democracy aspired to by other countries, we are now shamed on a daily basis by other nations who adhere to Democratic principles more than we do.
Sad.

This is bizarre. We are seeking to punish another government for protecting its democracy.
