247 Federal MP and former Special Secretary for Culture Mário Frias (PLSP) was filmed swearing at and slapping journalist Guga Noblat’s mobile phone during a hearing before the Communications Commission of the Chamber of Deputies this Thursday (11).
In a video posted to the journalist’s Twitter account, Frias says something to Noblat, then the congressman stands and taps the cell phone that was used to capture the footage. In the post, Noblat says he was called a “dwarf” by the MP.
According to the journalist, he still would not have addressed a speech to the MP and believes he was attacked because “I interviewed him on The Morning Show last year and answered questions about alleged corruption against him because he didn’t know what to answer .” “The hatred apparently persists to this day,” he wrote on Twitter.
