In criticism published on Friday on his Instagram profile, the pastor said: “The Malafaia Association with Brazilian fascism will have less impact on its public image than these curses.” He said the damage to Malafaia’s image was large and cited his explosive temperament as continuous behavior.
Damichel also criticized the Bolsonaro family by mentioning former President Jair Bolsonaro’s 3rd wedding, Flavio Bolsonaro’s turbulent relationship with Michelle and Eduardo Bolsonaro’s curses to his father in the messages revealed by the Federal Police (PF). “Who, after seeing Malafaia in the headlines of recent years or listening to these audios, had genuine interest in approaching Christ?”he wrote.
