Here's a thread of one of the prosecutors on the Marielle Franco case, one of those that told press yesterday the doorman was mistaken about the alleged killer calling Bolsonaro to get into his compound to meet the other alleged killer.
Now, this doesn't mean she's necessarily wrong about that specific claim. But by her uh, very enthusiastic social media output (and fashion choices), it seems she may have a dog in this fight
This is likely the most troubling photo. Here she is posing with the man who famously ripped apart the "Marielle Franco" street sign put up after her death
When people ask me what Bolsonaristas look like, this is what I describe - upper middle class (though not upper class) big white whey protein guys, all biceps and fake bravado. It's true that many working class people voted for Jair, but this is the real face of Bolsonarismo
Guys that spent too much money on a shitty car and tried a steroid cycle once but fucked it up and just got fat and now spend a lot of time on facebook (still)
I always distinguish Bolsonaristas, the true believers, from those who simply voted for Bolsonaro. Interviewing his voters at polls last year, about half or more said "eh, we need a change, let's see how he does" (this attitude was especially prevalent in working class areas).
Then there are those who are truly committed far-right ideologues, I'd guess 15-20% of the country. They (and indeed, Bolsonaro voters in general, skew middle-class and male).

Anyways here's background on the Marielle case and Jair's reaction this week
