Fascism is having a moment at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, and not just among the white nationalists and Holocaust deniers floating in and around the main event. Eduardo Bolsonaro, the federal deputy for São Paulo and the son of Brazil’s far-right authoritarian president Jair Bolsonaro, has called for his father’s government to essentially return to a dictatorship that would allow the murder and torture of dissidents, outlaw free speech, and effectively put an end to democracy in the country—a proposal that apparently qualified him to be a featured guest at CPAC 2020.

On Thursday, Bolsonaro—who has drawn comparisons to his friend Donald Trump Jr.—spoke at a launch party for Republicans for National Renewal, an upstart right-wing advocacy group working to advance Trump’s fusion of “nationalism and populism” by restricting legal immigration and stopping “the scourge of illegal immigration [that] has terrorized working communities across America.” Set in a small conference room on the second floor of the AC Hotel National Harbor—smack in the center of a fake city full of fake buildings that seemingly only exists to host CPAC—the event featured the unveiling of national-populist scorecards, which assign letter grades to GOP lawmakers based on their loyalty to Trump.

Bolsonaro was joined at the event by Rep. Paul Gosar, an Arizona Republican who responded to the 2017 Unite the Right rally by pushing an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory; Tobias Andersson, a far-right member of Swedish Parliament; and Corey Stewart, a neo-Confederate and failed 2018 GOP Senate candidate with ties to white nationalists, including members of his campaign staff.

Since his reelection to Brazil’s National Congress in 2018, Eduardo Bolsonaro has built up a significant rapport with Trumpworld. Last spring, he made an appearance at a Brazilian embassy event celebrating Steve Bannon, who Eduardo suggested had worked on his father’s election campaign. (Jair Bolsonaro denies any connection with Bannon.) An avid Twitter and Instagram user, Bolsonaro has shared photos of himself at Mar-a-Lago, and hanging with Don Jr. and Jared Kushner—both of whom are also speaking at CPAC. The Brazillian and American first-sons bonded over “the constant attacks we suffer from fake news media,” as Bolsonaro put it in a 2018 Facebook photo with Don Jr. taken while they attended a Las Vegas gun show together.

Like Don, Bolsonaro regularly defends his dad’s comments—when Jair Bolsonaro said Congresswoman Maria do Rosário, one of his opponents, was “not worth raping,” Eduardo responded that his father was simply counterpunching. He routinely attacks his father’s critics in the media, including The Intercept’s Glenn Greenwald, who was physically assaulted during an interview with a Brazilian right-wing pundit last year. They even have similar nicknames: Donny is known as “46,” and Eduardo, who’s Jair’s third son, is “003.”
