Bolsonaro booed on plane, tells critics to 'take a donkey'
YESTERDAT 18:34
Videos from the rear seats of the Brazilian president's flight show a riotous scene as passengers waved the middle finger and shouted "Get out, Bolsonaro!" and "Genocidal maniac!"
They say Brazil is polarized under far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, but the divide was literal on Friday when he boarded a commercial plane to greet supporters in the front — as opponents booed him at the top of their lungs from the back.
Visiting the southeastern state of Espirito Santo to inaugurate a public works project, Bolsonaro took a moment at the airport to briefly enter a departing plane and say hello.
It was all smiles in the roomier, more-expensive front of the plane, as seen in a video he posted on Twitter of himself snapping selfies with passengers and crew.
But videos from the back of coach posted on social media show a riotous scene as passengers waved the middle finger and hurled protest slogans at the president, including "Get out, Bolsonaro!" and "Genocidal maniac!"
