The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

The selective application of the Global Magnitsky Act against Justice Moraes and his family exposes its misuse as a political weapon rather than a principled human rights tool. While the Trump administration sanctions an indeed controversial Brazilian judge for legitimate prosecutions, it ignores well-documented abuses from the likes of Nayib Bukele and Viktor Orbán, who are treated as strategic allies.

Transparencia Internacional

Pro-Trump narrative

Brazil's de facto dictator Alexandre Moraes has threatened American freedoms and democratic values with an oppressive campaign of censorship that extends well beyond Brazilian borders to target U.S. citizens and companies, on top of his sham prosecution of Jair Bolsonaro. Given the tyrannical nature of his actions, it's only natural that those supporting him are too being sanctioned under the Global Magnitsky Act.
