Brazil’s 'Forgiving' President Turns Tables on Fraud Leonardo DiCaprio Over Climate Concerns

In true “bless your heart” fashion, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro told actor and activist Leonardo DiCaprio exactly how he felt about outsiders getting involved in his nation’s politics Friday, rekindling a dispute three years running.

As part of his never-ending pontification on climate change and the need to address it (through the means he deems appropriate,) DiCaprio took to social media Thursday to signal his virtue to the international community. In a short tweet, with a link provided to register ahead of May 4, the actor reminded the citizens of Brazil that their election was upcoming and the Earth was counting on the youth getting out the vote.

“Brazil is home to the Amazon and other ecosystems critical to climate change,” he wrote. “What happens there matters to us all and youth voting is key in driving change for a healthy planet.”

It wasn’t too long before the post earned the attention of the president who clapped back with a shot at DiCaprio’s ulterior motives and his connections, “Thanks for your support, Leo! It’s really important to have every Brazilian voting in the coming election. Our people will decide if they want to keep our sovereignty on the Amazon or to be ruled by crooks who serve foreign special interest.”
