For those who follow this sort of thing, the former-President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, was just sentenced to slightly more than 27-years in prison.
His crime? Disagreeing with the hard-left victory in Brazil’s 2022 presidential election.
As reported by RedState.com, with no small amount of sarcasm (emphasis mine);
When Bolsonaro lost in 2022, he made allegations about improprieties in the electoral process. Given Brazil’s squeaky-clean voting record, he was obviously mistaken. The allegations, though, got him an investigation by Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court (TSE) for abusing power by casting unfounded doubts on the electronic voting system during the campaign.
But of course, there’s no way that a sitting US senator would come out in favor of jailing political dissidents who’ve done little more than disagree with you;
Brazil is sending its election denier to prison for 27 years. We sent ours back to the White House. Brazil already lived under military dictatorship and saw the threat clearly. We failed to protect our democracy. We need to learn from Brazil before it’s too late. pic.twitter.com/0APO5vdPVm

How very interesting, huh?
Obviously, Markey must be unfamiliar with members of his own Jackass Party who’ve done the very same;
Here’s 24 straight minutes of Democrats denying election results.

In all fairness, I guess I shouldn’t come down all that hard on Markey.
He’s the same guy who doesn’t mind posing for a picture with the American flag carelessly thrown to the ground right behind him.
You hate your country Ed just admit it you want to destroy America 🇺🇸
