Bolsonaro Admitted To Hospital In Florida As Dem Lawmakers Urge Booting Him From US

This as there are emerging reports on Monday that he's been admitted to an Orlando hospital, according to Brazilian media sources:

Jair Bolsonaro has just been admitted to AdventHealth Celebration, a 220-bed hospital outside Orlando, Florida. He claims to have severe abdominal pain. Since the surgery he underwent after the 2018 stabbing, Bolsonaro has been hospitalized a few times because of abdominal pain. The most recent occurred in November, when he was admitted to the Armed Forces Hospital, in Brasília. In January and March of last year, the former president was also affected by the same problem.

Reuters reported late Sunday that "the most immediate threat to Bolsonaro would come if his U.S. visa were revoked" - which would force him to have to leave the safety of the US, at a moment of growing mayhem in Brasilia and as pro-Lula officials brand him and his followers as 'terrorists'.

"A U.S. consular official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Bolsonaro had almost certainly entered on an A-1 visa, which are reserved for heads of state. A second source, a senior former U.S. diplomat, also believed it was almost certain that Bolsonaro had entered on an A-1," Reuters noted, citing American officials.

"Normally the A-1 is canceled after the recipient leaves office. But with Bolsonaro having left Brazil and entered the United States before his term ended, the official suspected his A-1 is still active," the report continued.
