Flavio Bolsonaro and his family have fled Brazil and will be granted visas by the State Department to enter the United States.
Bolsonaro, who has stopped short of conceding this weekend’s election to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, was reportedly set to arrive in the U.S. on Tuesday evening despite an investigation into him in Brazil. He is understood to be joined by his wife and two daughters.
“The State Department will issue visas to Flavio Bolsonaro and his family and allow them entry into the United States,” a Trump administration official told the Washington Examiner.
The former right-wing candidate is a de facto ally of President Donald Trump, though he was never endorsed by the White House. When Trump was asked for comment on the Brazilian election on Monday, the president told reporters the results seemed “rigged.”
Bolsonaro was favored to win the presidential election after beating Lula in the first round earlier this month. It was the first time in modern Brazilian history that a candidate went from second place to victor in the runoff.
He demanded the results be annulled due to a last-minute decision by the high court to honor a request from Lula to extend voting due to public transportation failures. That bid seems to have failed, and his own party has now publicly conceded the election.

"G.F.Y."
So the story left out the fact they extended hours for Lula’s areas. Nice reporting a-holes.
Maybe Trump should appoint him Ambassador to Brazil.
The left “wins”. The Right flees.
Same as it has been since 1945.
I don’t blame Bolsonaro. The commercial classes in every country would prefer to stay on good terms with the Regime and keep selling them the hangman’s rope.
So if things go really bad when the Dems recapture the White House, where are the Trump people going to flee to ?
“So if things go really bad when the Dems recapture the White House, where are the Trump people going to flee to ?“
Good question.
We will be forced to stand and Fight, Fight, Fight!
Our hollers.
And the readout
There's no way they aren't preparing a hit list, and it won't just be for "big people".
------------------
I'll believe it when I see it. The commercial classes are the same as Brazil, and it will just be a few "extremists" destroyed in their "compound".
Give Brazil the Venezuela treatment and restore him to office
You can vote socialism in but you have to shoot your way out of it.
We American patriots won’t flee. We will fight the scoundrels TO THE DEATH.
Sun-tzu correctly noted a single warrior with no place to retreat will fight to the death with the strength and determination of 100 warriors.
Let these wicked ghouls try to destroy this Republic and extinguish our nation. Millions of armed Americans are ready for that fight RIGHT NOW.
The wicked are the ones who will flee in terror as we chase them into every corner of the nation and deliver to them exactly what they have earned and so richly deserve for their treason.
This goes beyond Brazil. If ”Sheinbaum” had slipped in her tub, we wouldn’t be hearing about this. The Monroe Doctrine meant that people were smarter back then, I guess.
A ruling authorized by a judge appointed by Lula who previosuly served as a lawyer in Lula's cabinet.
Honest candidates can’t win in Brazil with the current power-hungry, dishonest people in power. I’m glad Bolsonaro was able to escape before they treated him like his father and jailed him for decades. At least he can speak to his people freely from over here. I don’t know how a rigged election can be overcome there. We are struggling with our own election integrity problems here.
Brazil remains a banana republic, with an utterly corrupt leadership and judiciary. A real shame.
Boisonaro should never concede.Publicly denounce the crooked judge for extending voting in only commie areas.
Exactly. The polls in the Conservative areas of Brazil had already closed when the hours were extended for Lula. As well, the Judge who extended the hours for Lula had been his lawyer, and Lula appointed him to the Supreme Court. How much more rigged could it get?
“Maybe Trump should appoint him Ambassador to Brazil.”

I said that to my sister earlier today on the phone when I heard he was coming here with his two daughters. He would have diplomatic immunity, so I don’t think they could touch him.
They tried to kill his father first before they jailed him. I'm glad Flavio is safe. I hope he was able to bring his family with him.
