Brazil's tourism ambassador Renzo Gracie called wildfires burning in the Amazon rainforest"false fires" and threatened to choke French President Emmanuel Macron, who has criticized Brazil's handling of the blazes he considers an"international crisis."
"I was with the American Airlines people, and the guy was checking how many passengers were going to Brazil and started to have an absurd crash, a lot of people canceling their trip because of this false fire," Gracie said in Portuguese, according to a translation. Gracie also attacked Macron's wife, Brigitte Macron, by saying,"the fact that he is sleeping with the dragon does not make him a fire expert," and,"she's ugly, my brother."
