A senior State Department official said Tuesday that Flávio Bolsonaro and his family will be granted U.S. visas after his weekend loss to incumbent Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in a hotly contested race that bucked a trend of conservative electoral results in Latin America.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to visa privacy laws, said “the State Department will issue visas to Flávio Bolsonaro and his family and allow them entry into the United States.”

Bolsonaro, who had Donald Trump’s tacit support, had been under investigation for corruption, money laundering and tax evasion in Brazil and had been ordered to surrender his passport.

    It’s going to be really depressing when we probably give Democrats the presidency in two years and Fascist Fly-vio gets to remain in the US in peace.

      After all that illegal shady shit that Trumps circle has been up to gets just buried and forgotten, you will hardly feel it.

        I wish.

        I’m still angry about Obama rewarding rather than jailing the crooked bankers. I am not sure I will ever forget.
