247 – During a service of the Assembly of God in São Paulo, Jair Bolsonaro promised on Monday (5) a pastor for the second appointment he will make to the Supreme Court. The vacancy will open next year, with the retirement of Minister Marco Aurélio Mello.

“The second wave, sure, more than a terribly evangelical one, God willing we will have a pastor there,” he said. “Let’s imagine that the sessions of that Supreme Court begin with a sentence,” he added, according to Folha de S.Paulo report.

Bolsonaro was the target of criticism from his supporters after promising a “terribly evangelical” and nominating a name – judge Kassio Nunes – articulated with Centrão to fill the first vacancy, opened with the departure of Celso de Mello, who retires this month.

One of those irritated by Kassio Nunes’ suggestion was Pastor Silas Malafaia, who public criticism triggered to the president. Bolsonaro rebelled the pastor in the same vein: “it still says you have God in your heart.” Already the Universal Church, by Bishop Edir Macedo, supported the statement.
