Journalist Vera Magalhaes was criticized by President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) during a debate on the open TV channel this Sunday (28). He also criticized MDB candidate Senator Simone Tebet.

“I think you sleep thinking of me. You are a little in love with me. You can’t take sides in such a dispute. Making false accusations against me,” said the executive director.

Bolsonaro also criticized CPI Covid and said that Simona Tebet was “a disgrace in the Federal Senate” and said he did not attack women.

“I don’t attack women, no. Don’t make up this little story… about becoming a victim of yourself. Vera, you were really great, weren’t you? It gave me the opportunity to tell you a little bit of the truth about you.”

Essential oil

The journalist, without referring to the president’s attacks, suggested on the social network that the essential oil is important for “nervous moments.” “Calm down, this is a miracle,” he wrote.
