Bob Oswald's FactsMatter: Copycat 'QAnon Shaman' not part of Brazil riots
Rioters supporting Brazil's former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro stormed government buildings last week in the capital city of Brasília, protesting new President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The insurrection has drawn comparisons to the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The photo of the Brazilian protester is real, but it didn't happen during the recent riots, according to PolitiFact. The image was posted online first more than a year ago. "My favourite new factoid is that they hit dead popes on the head three times with a special dead-pope hammer. Just to ensure they are, in fact, dead," read a Jan. 1 tweet, which included a photo of an ornate, gold and white hammer.
But this practice isn't mentioned in any other church histories or documents.
