Speaking of Jair Bolsonaro at the G20...


NPR reports police arrested Sgt. Manoel Silva Rodrigues in Seville, Spain, Tuesday after the Brazilian Air Force plane made a stop on its way to the summit.

Bolsonaro was on a separate plane following behind but changed its route following the arrest.

Rodrigues was reportedly carrying 86 pounds of cocaine that was split up into 37 different blocks. He told local authorities that it was cheese and not drugs.

The Brazilian Defense Ministry put out a statement confirming the arrest and noted that it is investigating the incident.

Bolsonaro in a tweet Wednesday stressed that the arrest was not related to his team, calling the incident “unacceptable.”

"We will not tolerate such disrespect to our country!” he wrote.

Is that the proper response?
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
