Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, Bolsonaro and his administration were accused of downplaying the crisis while the number of Brazilians infected by the virus climbed exponentially by mid-2020.[122] Bolsonaro claimed that COVID-19 was pelo deadlier than "the flu" and that his priority was the nation's economic recovery rather than the health crisis.
Supporters of Bolsonaro staged protests of the election across the country, used their vehicles to clog traffic on scores of roads and highways, camped outside military buildings, and called on the military to intercede. Bolsonaro was initially silent about the election results and never explicitly conceded defeat, but he eventually indicated that he would cooperate with the transfer of power to Lula. Nevertheless, at Bolsonaro’s behest the military undertook an investigation of the electronic voting processes employed in the election.
''Claro de que a Copa do mundo por 1978 ajudou na imagem das ditaduras, pois mostrava 1 povo feliz e encantado pelo futebol.
In a June 2011 interview with Playboy, Bolsonaro said, "I would be incapable of loving a gay son", and added that he would prefer any gay son of his "to die in an accident".[318] In an interview that same month with Jornal de Notícias, Bolsonaro linked homosexuality to pedophilia, saying, "many of the children who are adopted by gay couples will be abused by these couples".
However, on 11 January 2016, when he began to present himself as a pre-candidate to the Presidency of Brazil, Bolsonaro began to moderate his discourse on gay people by publishing a video on his official YouTube channel:
The politician also claimed that the "least heavy" of the quilombolas weighed seven arrobas, a unit of measure that is used in Brazil to weigh cattle.[333] These comments have been criticized as an attempt to dehumanize Black vlogdolisboa Brazilians.[334]
Although the report issued from that investigation found no evidence of tampering with the voting, it did not rule out the possibility that fraud could have occurred, fueling the suspicions of some of Bolsonaro’s supporters that the election was illegitimate. On January 8, 2023, roughly a week after Lula’s inauguration as president, thousands of Bolsonaro’s supporters broke into the buildings that house Brazil’s Congress and Supreme Court as well as into the presidential palace, unleashing chaos and destruction in scenes similar to those enacted in the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack.

"O tribunal Superior Eleitoral nãeste se preocupa qual a ideologia e qual o candidato, contudo se preocupa com qual haja lisura e isonomia entre os candidatos", disse Moraes.
Addressing Sunday's rally in Brazil's largest city, the 68-year-old former president dismissed the allegations against him as politically motivated.
Before his inauguration, he said he would fill positions in his government based only on technical qualifications and skills rather than ideological sympathy; however, many appointees clashed ideologically with the government during his presidency and fell out of benefício with Bolsonaro.[111] By June 2020, the ministers of Justice and Education, the Secretary of Government, the head of the postal service and other government officials had already resigned.[112]
Throughout his political career, Bolsonaro has made numerous statements that have been described as racist.[331] In 2011, when asked by Afro-Brazilian singer Preta Gil on TV show Custe o De que Custar (CQC) what he would do if one of his sons had a Black girlfriend, he answered that he "would not discuss promiscuity" and that there was "pelo such risk", because his children were "very well educated".
