Finally.
An appropriate opportunity for a headline writer to use the word ‘slammed’ and they went with ‘hit?’
JFC
- That had one job to do, and they totally screwed it up!
  
  There has to be better footage of this. Portrait mode? Not steady? Not looking the right direction? What is this, Amateur Hour?!
- why was it in portrait mode? can't be the original picture
- This is why I hate vertical video
Is the candidate John Cena?
- Wrong part of BRICS. He's a fan of the C part.

It may not be polite, but it's honest.
I've already booked my ticket, because I'll be damned if I'll let something as lame as not being a Brazilian citizen, prevent me from casting 1,273 votes for this man, our hero.
Unless it comes out that he was with Bolsanro during his infamous visit to the brothel full of underage Venezuelan girls...
But anything short of that, I stand with him.
More American than America
- In case you guys dont know, Brazil is part of America
  
  It's part of the Americas, and more specifically South America, but just America typically refers to the US.
... Had to be Datena.
- Is he a recruit from the WWE or something?
  
  I wish. He's an asshole TV host whose show thrives on sensationalizing crime and tragedy. The other guy is also an asshole and a massively controversial noveau riche who, in the past, said Datena wasn't man enough to hit him... So he had it coming lol.
- Ew, someone posted a picture of a scabby racist rat
