Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff ousted in impeachment vote
BRASILIA — Brazil’s Senate ousted Dilma Rousseff as president Wednesday, voting overwhelmingly to impeach the leftist leader in the culmination of a protracted process that has divided the country.

 

The vote to impeach Rousseff was 61 to 20. Two-thirds of senators — 54 out of 81 — were needed for impeachment to pass.

Who was a big supporter of this ultra-corrupt left-wing Brazilian president? None other than our favorite Secretary of State, Hillary "Snitches get Stitches" Clinton.

 

Hillary Clinton Praised ‘Corrupt’ Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff For Her Transparency

 

Clinton made those comments on April 17, 2012, when she addressed the Open Government Partnership in Brasilia. It was the first yearly meeting of the partnership, which the United States and Brazil spearheaded to encourage government transparency. Member countries—including Brazil—committed to “having robust anti-corruption policies, mechanisms and practices, ensuring transparency in the management of public finances and government purchasing, and strengthening the rule of law.”

Hillary Clinton, encouraging government transparency? That gave me a sensible chuckle. This whole thing reaks. Brazil made the right decision with this massive fraudulent behavior revealed and their crumbling economy. Hopefully they can right the sails of their country.
