Bolsonaro has been dealing with an array of controversies, including, but not limited to, being an unapologetic nationalist and opponent of same-sex marriage, issues with environment protection laws, abortion, and immigration. He has also faced accusations of misogyny and homophobia.
New York Times reported Bolsonaro is planning to stay in Orlando for about a month while being under investigation for his term as Brazil’s leader.
Junior is an avid Bolsonaro supporter
Like in any other country, Brazil and its leaders also establish a great relationship with famous people in their country. Bolsonaro was one of them and he has had quite a lineup of UFC stars in his network. Topping that list is Aldo, the man in question in Bolsonaro’s sighting in Orlando.
It can be recalled that “Junior” even publicly expressed his support for Bolsonaro at the peak of the controversial leader’s successful campaign in 2018.
