Descripción
Sumario:he main purpose of this paper is to outline an overview of the support of congressmen and congresswomen for the presidential speech in the face of the Coronavirus pandemic in Brazil. We approached the phenomenon by analyzing three indicators: shared links, mentions and types of discourse. We investigated the profiles of Carlos Jordy (PSL), Hélio Lopes (PSL), Major Fabiana (PSL), Marco Feliciano (Republicans), Eduardo Bolsonaro (PSL) and Carla Zambelli (PSL). Overall, the results point to an alignment of messages between profiles, with an emphasis on tweets that attack institutions and political opponents and defend government actions. Also noteworthy is the self-referential use of mentions and links, mainly a concentration on the personal profile of Jair Bolsonaro.
