Carlos Bolsonaro apologizes to Jair in visit: 'We failed'

Carlos Bolsonaro, elected senator for Santa Catarina, visited his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, on Wednesday morning (28) following his brother Flávio's flight to the United States after Sunday's (25) election defeat. Carlos apologized for the family's failure in the campaign. In a video posted on social media, Carlos said he spoke with Jair for two hours, describing him as strong and trying to process recent events. Carlos recounted apologizing for his brother's loss, with Jair responding, "Negative, lift your head, let's go," and serving him coffee. Carlos, elected senator on October 4 with 2,041,840 votes, reiterated claims that his father is a "political prisoner" related to the January 8, 2023 events. He pledged to continue working for Jair's freedom and for other Bolsonaro supporters involved in the coup attempt.
