The video features a split screen. The top half displays a tweet by Pedro Rousseff, stating that Marco Rubio revealed Flávio Bolsonaro offered a government transition team to the USA if elected, and that Brazil should not be a 'backyard' of the USA. The bottom half shows two news anchors discussing this topic, with one anchor actively gesturing while speaking.
