Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro got an enthusiastic welcome from U.S. conservatives gathered in suburban Washington and said his “mission is not over” while leaving open the possibility that his movement might continue without him.
Bolsonaro, 67, spoke on the final day of the Conservative Political Conference on Saturday after his son, Eduardo, a Brazilian congressman, addressed the group and before former President Donald Trump’s keynote closing address.
“In this moment, I thank God for my second life and also for the mission of being the president of Brazil for one term,” Bolsonaro said through an interpreter in a 23-minute speech. “But I feel deep inside that this mission is not over.”
