Dear @marcorubio, I want to bring to your attention the actions of Brazilian YouTuber and influencer Felipe Neto, a known ally of the current Lula regime in Brazil. He has actively supported social media censorship and has consistently opposed the Trump administration. In 2020, Neto made strong statements criticizing both Trump and Bolsonaro, which he recently deleted, possibly out of fear of losing his American visa.
However, screenshots and videos circulating on X preserve his outspoken criticism of Republicans, Trump, and the recent U.S. measures against Brazil due to Lula’s policies. Felipe Neto’s close ties to Lula and his wife, Janja Lula da Silva, are evident. He has publicly aligned himself with their political agenda, including defending Lula’s controversial stance, such as when Lula claimed last year that Maduro is not a dictator, dismissing it as a narrative.
Neto’s influence and proximity to the Lula administration, alongside his history of advocating for censorship, raise concerns about his role in Brazil’s polarized political landscape. Thank you for your continued attention to these issues and for standing up for freedom and democracy in Brazil and beyond.
