Twenty-seven-year-old Chamber of Deputies member Nikolas Ferreira excoriated his country’s socialist president Lula da Silva, who he said “should be in jail.” He also issued a blistering attack on LGBT ideology.
“The left replaces Jesus … [and] the cross, which represents injustice against an innocent person, with symbols that represent nothing other than selfishness,” explained Ferreira, who is a Christian. “The rainbow is not yours, but ours. Read the Bible. You’ll find out.”
He also condemned abortion as the “largest silent genocidal movement” and stressed that the right to life is the “first and most fundamental of rights,” at one point holding up a model of a 12-week-old unborn baby.
Ferreira has achieved global name recognition in recent years thanks to his ability to leverage social media. He currently has 3.3 million followers on X, 10.6 million followers on Instagram, and 1.82 million subscribers on YouTube.
Born in 1996, Ferreira was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 2022 with a historic 1.4 million votes, the most ever received by a candidate who ran for the Chamber.
Ferreira stated on X that his remarks, which appear to have been delivered at a youth-focused gathering at the U.N. in 2023, resulted in autocratic Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes “investigating” him.
