Statement from CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp on the Political Persecution of Eduardo Bolsonaro
CPAC condemns in the strongest possible terms the conviction and sentencing of Eduardo Bolsonaro by Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court. This is a grave violation of democratic norms, free speech, and the rule of law.
Let’s be clear: Eduardo Bolsonaro’s so-called “crime” was not violence. It was not corruption. It was not a threat against anyone. His alleged crime was exposing the corruption, censorship, and abuse of power taking place inside the Brazilian government and its Supreme Court.
This is lawfare, plain and simple. Eduardo Bolsonaro is being targeted for political reasons because he dared to speak the truth about what is happening in Brazil and because he refused to stay silent while his father, President Jair Bolsonaro, and millions of Brazilian conservatives were subjected to political persecution.
Justice Alexandre de Moraes has become the face of this judicial overreach. Moraes ignored a U.S. judicial proceeding related to censorship of Americans on social media only reinforced what the world already sees: Brazil’s ruling establishment wants the power to silence its critics at home while escaping scrutiny abroad.
Even more alarming, Moraes voted to convict Eduardo Bolsonaro in a case in which Moraes himself claims to be the victim. In any impartial judicial system, it would be unthinkable for a magistrate to act simultaneously as judge and alleged victim. Yet that is precisely what Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court has allowed, turning the appearance of justice into an instrument of political retribution.
No court should be above accountability. No judge should be allowed to censor political opponents, intimidate opponents, or punish citizens for speaking out. And no democracy can survive when criminal law is twisted into a weapon against the opposition.
CPAC stands with Eduardo Bolsonaro, President Jair Bolsonaro, and the Brazilian people who are fighting for free speech, fair elections, judicial accountability, and real democracy.
The world is watching Brazil. Conservatives across America and around the globe will not be silent while lawfare replaces justice.
Imagine that an American judge sends secret orders by email to Brazilian companies. The orders require them to take actions inside Brazil that violate Brazilian law. The Brazilian executives are told in the email by the American judge not to notify Brazilian authorities or anyone else about the secret order.
Would anyone in Brasília call that “respect for American sovereignty”?
Sovereignty is not a one way shield. If a Brazilian Supreme Court justice wants his orders to have effect in another country, he must go through that country’s law, courts, and due process. That principle protects Brazil.
It also protects the United States.
The deadline for Justice Alexandre de Moraes to respond in the Rumble/Trump Media case expired yesterday. No appearance. No request for more time.
The Government of Brazil did appear to argue sovereignty and clarified it did not appear for Moraes. Its own filing says it raises the defense “on its own behalf exclusively,” and its lawyers identify themselves as counsel for the Federative Republic of Brazil, not counsel for Moraes.
To argue Brazilian sovereignty while Moraes simultaneously violates U.S. laws is the right of the Government of Brazil. The federal court in Florida will hear those arguments in due course.
Fiquem atentos.

Dear Marco Rubio @SecRubio,
I would like to bring to your attention a severe case of ongoing censorship in Brazil involving the journalist and musician Ed Raposo @EdRaposo_.
For over two years, Ed Raposo has been completely banned from his social media platforms by order of Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes. This judicial determination has not only silenced his voice but has also cut off his primary source of income, as his livelihood depended directly on the monetization of his work across these digital platforms.
Freedom of speech and the right to work are fundamental pillars of any democracy.
The prolonged financial and professional strangulation of independent voices in Brazil is a deeply concerning violation of human rights.
We hope that international leaders who defend freedom will look into this situation.

🇧🇷Flávio Bolsonaro| Kim Paim faz um mini dossiê com feitos do Flávio ao longo da sua carreira, desmontando a narrativa da galera boca de sacola que diz que em todos esses anos o Flávio não tem nada construído.
Tem certeza que Flávio não tem nada construído?
Vejamos:
🙏🙌// POVO PELO POVO: 👏👏👏
Enquanto o governo Lula foi criticado por ignorar e burocratizar o pedido de ajuda humanitária para o menino Luís Felipe Benke dos Santos, de 8 anos, de Balneário Camboriú (SC), diagnosticado com Sarcoma de Ewing em estágio terminal, um empresário catarinense de Itapema agiu com rapidez e generosidade: custeou integralmente as despesas da família, contratou um médico internacional para acompanhar o voo e viabilizou o embarque pela companhia TAP, permitindo que a criança retornasse ao Brasil para passar seus últimos momentos cercada pela família. A família e o governo de Santa Catarina haviam solicitado um voo sanitário da FAB, mas relataram demora e indiferença por parte do governo federal, que chegou a ser acionado na Justiça. O contraste entre a omissão estatal e a solidariedade do empresário destacou o “povo pelo povo”, com o gesto privado sendo apontado como o que realmente possibilitou o retorno digno do menino.

INCOMPREENSÍVEL! Paulo Figueiredo diz que Mauro Vieira, Ministro das Relações Exteriores do governo Lula, ficou desesperado quando ficou sabendo que as facções seriam designadas como terroristas.
