Bolsonaro claims Brazil's presidency was stolen in first remarks since election loss

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro declared himself the "true elected president" in his first public remarks Wednesday, following his loss in Sunday's presidential election, and alleged electoral fraud. Bolsonaro, who left Brazil for the United States after the defeat, claimed the election results were manipulated and described subsequent actions against him as a "politically motivated witch hunt." He said he left Brazil for the country's sake, not in flight. He vowed to lead the opposition from the United States and urged the international community not to normalize Brazil's political situation, citing the "politicization of the justice system" in his homeland.
