American actor Leonardo DiCaprio called on Brazilians to vote.
Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro reacted irritably.
Brasilia - In addition to his films, the American actor Leonardo DiCaprio is also known for his environmental activism.
Last week he called on young people in Brazil to register to vote.
The Oscar winner wrote: “Brazil is home to the Amazon and other ecosystems that play important roles in climate change.
What happens there affects us all."
After the election tweet: Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro rumbles against DiCaprio
Back in 2019, DiCaprio and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro had a falling out.
At that time, the actor had donated five million US dollars with his Earth Alliance to combat slash-and-burn and deforestation in the Amazon region.
Bolsonaro took the position that deforestation was legitimate to create wealth in Brazil.
Now Bolsonaro reacted again to DiCaprio.
In response to the actor's tweet, he sarcastically wrote, "Thanks for the support Leo!
It is very important that all Brazilians vote in the upcoming elections.” The President of Brazil went on to write: “Our people will decide whether they want to retain their sovereignty over the Amazon or be ruled by crooks representing foreign interests.” In the last part, Bolsonaro probably alluded to Leonardo DiCaprio.

The Daily Wire claims to be right-wing on the political spectrum and makes no secret of its sometimes ultra-conservative views.
The commentators are welcome guests with conservative personalities like Tucker Carlson.
