In this segment of By Any Means Necessary hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Brian Mier, journalist, editor, and author of 'Year of Lead: Washington, Wall Street and the New Imperialism in Brazil,' to talk about whether Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro could potentially face impeachment for his mishandling of the Coronavirus crisis, why his Trump-like insistence on opening the Brazilian economy back up before the COVID-19 threat has passed is resulting in serious fractures between Bolsonaro and his major allies, and how the entire crisis betrays a ruling class preference for mass death over a short-term economic shutdown.
