Trump's Bolsonaro defense prompts sharp Lula response

On December 1, Republican Senator Ted Cruz in a tweet called out US President Joe Biden for hastily congratulating Lula compared to the slow response to Benjamin Netanyahu's election victory in "Israel".

Sen. Ted Cruz on how Biden was quick to call Brazil’s Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva but slow to call Israel: Team Biden was "Thrilled to see an anti-American leftist like Lula in power and they were deeply dismayed to see a pro-America friend & ally like Netanyahu in power.” pic.twitter.com/wABHFEvX28

Senator Cruz and former President Donald Trump have previously sent video campaign messages in support of President Jair Bolsnaro during the elections.

The former leftist President, whose term lasted from 2003-2010, urged "peace and unity" after defeating far-right Bolsonaro, concluding a historic political comeback.

The victory represented a stunning turnaround for the leftist icon, who returned for an unprecedented third term at 77 after leaving office in 2010 as the most popular President in Brazilian history.
