Mourão is a controversial figure, owing to his praise of the military dictatorship in Brazil (1964–1985), during which he had served in the military. Nonetheless, during the Bolsonaro presidency, he has sometimes been seen as a moderate voice in the administration. His public disputes with Bolsonaro led to friction with Bolsonaro and his supporters, including calls for Mourão’s impeachment from Bolsonaro-supporting members of Congress. Bolsonaro did not choose Mourão as his running mate in the 2022 election, instead picking Walter Souza Braga Netto in a losing presidential bid. Mourao opted instead to run for the Senate in the 2022 Brazilian general election, representing the state of Rio Grande do Sul, which he won.

Just look at him. He looks like a textbook version of a crook.
