Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday attended the inauguration of Brazils far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro. Pompeo joined other populist leaders, including Israels Benjamin Netanyahu and Hungarys Viktor Orbán, in optics that only further support the notion that the United States is running in the same circles as some of the worlds most hardline, anti-democratic circles.
Pompeos presence was no small thing to Boslonaro, who retweeted the secretary on Wednesday.
Pompeo and his Brazilian counterpart, Ernesto Araujo, held a press briefing on Wednesday, during which Reuters asked Pompeo about the concern among the Brazils civil society about a possible loss of protection for human rights under this new government.
Pompeo allowed Araujo to speak first Araujo said there is no reason at all to fear an attack on human rights and then added that the United States is committed to human rights.
