The video in which President Jair Bolsonaro (no party) gets angry and threatens attacking a reporter from the newspaper O Globo was shared on Twitter with a false caption to suggest that Bolsonaro had been provoked by professional before attacking. According to this version, the journalist said: “Let’s visit your daughter in jail.” That didn't happen. Although the caption claims it is a provocation to the president, the audio allows us to hear that the sentence said was: “Let’s visit our little market at the cathedral, president.” The one who makes the invitation is a man who is among the people who follow the president. The episode occurred during Bolsonaro's visit to the Cathedral Brasília Metropolitan this Sunday, 23. The fake version is going viral on social media and was also published by blogs such as Terra Brasil Notícias and Senso Incomum, which later recognized the divergence – the latter took the content offline. Himself president and his son, councilor Carlos Bolsonaro (Republicanos-RJ), shared a video of the incident – ​​without the fake caption, but with the description: “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”, in reference to a biblical verse used by the president in an electoral context. ### How do we check? Doing a search for the words Bolsonaro and string on TweetDeck, we came up with a post that questions the president's attack published on a profile on the 23rd, at 11:09 p.m. According to TweetDeck, the post was a thread, but, upon entering the page on Twitter, there was only the initial post, which said: “A man who see (sic) your wife being wronged, accused, being exposed… Solve it like this! ‘My desire is to beat you up’ because Bolsonaro is a man!!! Goat male. Have a good time.” In response to a user, who warned that the voice would not have talked about a visit to the jail and, yes, about an invitation for the president to go at the cathedral fair, the author says she deleted the video. So, it was not possible to find who posted the video with the false caption for the first time. We did further searches and found the profile of @SamPancher, who posted the video at 4:56 pm on the 23rd. In his publication, he subtitles only the excerpt in which the president insults the reporter – “I want to fill your mouth with the beating, okay? You bastard.” By message, Samuel Pancher, owner of the profile, informed us of his phone and we did an interview with him. Pancher was unable to say who recorded the images, but through the InVid platform it is It is possible to verify that the video posted by Bolsonaro is the same one he posted. We also consulted reports published the previous day, in which vehicles claimed to have witnessed Bolsonaro's aggression. The Globo newsroom published the audio recorded by its reporter (for subscribers) involved in the incident. Listening to him, it is perfectly possible to conclude that no one spoke about visit the president's daughter in jail. ### Verification #### How it was? Bolsonaro was paying a visit to the Metropolitan Cathedral of Brasília in Sunday (23), when he was questioned by a group of reporters. One professional from the newspaper O Globo questioned the president about transfers of R$89 thousand made by Fabrício Queiroz, former advisor to his son, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (Republicanos-RJ), to First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro. The documents are part of an investigation into alleged cracking involving the president's eldest son. In addition to reporters, the president was followed by supporters. One of the people who was around him recorded a video with the president's response, which threatened the journalist: “I want to fill your mouth with punches”. Questioned by Other reporters whether this would be a threat did not comment. The topic was one of the most talked about on Twitter on Sunday. Users posted the question asked by the reporter as a way of putting pressure on the president and whether position in a way that is contrary to verbal aggression. #### Supporters of the president Using this false version, at least a dozen websites published articles accusing the reporter of threatening the president. The Senso Incomum blog published the text “We checked: Bolsonaro responded to the reporter who said ‘Let’s visit your daughter in jail’.” The version with the false caption refers to the president's 9-year-old daughter with Michelle. The text has already been taken down, and on social media the website stated: “We deleted the post about the president's speech, as some internet users heard 'visit our little fair in the cathedral’, and not ‘daughter in jail’, as we understand. We reaffirm that we always demand Flávio Bolsonaro over Queiroz and celebrate his breach of confidentiality that led to his arrest.” The Terra Brasil Notícias blog, in turn, maintains the text “Video: reporter attacks Bolsonaro's daughter and president reacts; ‘desire to fill your punching mouth’”. The portal published a second text with an errata in which recognizes that “the O Globo reporter is not addressing the president’s daughter Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro's reaction is due to the journalist's insistence in inquiring about the alleged involvement of the first lady, Michelle Bolsonaro, with the Queiroz case”. Profiles on social networks followed a similar technique: they posted the video and later they deleted it, but continued to say that the president was attacked and he was defending himself. In this way, the content went viral without the inclusion of recording. #### Watermark In the video posted by the president there is a watermark that appears blurry, but it is possible to verify that it is that of @SamPancher, one of the first profiles to publish the video on Twitter – without the fake caption. In an interview with Comprova, Samuel Pancher, a journalism student from São Paulo, said he usually publishes content related to the president and who, therefore, receives messages from followers with suggestions for content to post. Pancher said that only received the video and subtitled the president's speech. “I didn’t know they were going to catch the that the street vendor said to create a narrative”, he stated. “I worried about subtitle (only) what he (Jair Bolsonaro) said.” ### Why do we investigate? In its third phase, the Comprova Project verifies the veracity of content suspects about the federal government's public policies that go viral on social media. The video that led to this investigation was viewed 4,700 times times and shared 57 times on Twitter as of August 24. One of the texts with the same content, from the Terra Brasil Notícias website, was shared 849 times on Facebook. On Bolsonaro's page, the video (without the false subtitle) had more 120 thousand views and 18 thousand likes to date. This content was also checked by Aos Fatos, Fato ou Fake, Poder 360 and Estadão, who also concluded that the caption is false. False, for Comprova, is all content that is invented or has suffered edits to change its original and deliberately disseminated meaning to spread a lie.
