Brazil's Flávio Bolsonaro headed to the U.S. after losing election, sources say
CBC News ^ | Oct 27, 2026 | Thomson Reuters

Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro has left the country for the United States after losing Sunday's presidential election and refusing ‌to comply with a Supreme Court order to hand over his passports, two sources said.

The U.S. Embassy in Brazil did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Bolsonaro's lawyer also declined to comment.

Flávio's departure for the United States threatens ​to deepen a rift between the two most populous nations in the Americas. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has accused Washington of colluding with the Bolsonaros to put them ​back in power, and Reuters reported ahead of Sunday's election on a U.S. State Department campaign ⁠to restore them to office.

What was the justification for demanding he turn over his passports? “Losing” an election is not a crime. Oh wait, this is one of the left wing paradise countries. Well, then, of course it is a crime to dare to challenge the commies but what are they calling the crime?

“Losing” an election is not a crime.

Whether you win or lose, daring to challenge communism is a crime, apparently. Sadly, Brazil will probably need an armed uprising to escape from communism.

His escape may make an interesting story. A treetop run all the way to the ocean, then skim the water to international waters, perhaps? Maybe a couple US F-16’s just happened to be in the area (international waters) for further escort? Who knows?

Lose an election and you have to flee. What a pathetic country. Newsflash to the citizens you don’t just switch parties once tyranny sets in.

Lula “won” (by cheating?) and now the younger Bolsonaro has to flee to the USA!

I have been to Brazil, and have worked with Brazilian researchers (one who has always supported Lula). Lula is 81, so is quite old to serve as a president (in his fourth term!).

Brazil is potentially a great country, and does not need an old, corrupt leftist politician as her leader. I hope for better things for Brazil—the sooner the better!

Some years ago, I asked a Brazilian if the military would get back into the coup business. He thought that the generals had no appetite for that.
