BRASILIA, Aug 25 ― Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro continued his attack on journalists during a public event yesterday, describing reporters as “wimps” and saying they have a heightened chance of dying of Covid-19 because they are not athletic. On Sunday, Bolsonaro told a reporter, “I want to punch you in the face,” after the reporter asked about thousands of dollars that were transferred into a bank account of the president's wife by a former aide who is now the target of a corruption probe.

“That history of an athlete, the press feasted on it, but when gets one of you wimps, your chance of surviving is quite a bit lower,” Bolsonaro told reporters yesterday, using the Portuguese colloquial word 'bundao'.
