Brazil Lurches to the Far Right

The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 9, 2018

Brian Winter, editor-in-chief of Americas Quarterly and the vice president for policy at Americas Society/Council of the Americas talks about the rise of Brazil's far-right (and some would say, racist, misogynist and homophobic) presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro, who faces a run-off after he just missed winning the election outright.

.@BrazilBrian says he expects Jair Bolsonaro to win the presidential election in Brazil.

"This is a figure that when people listen to, they like, they hear strength."
