Renan Santos’s statements were confirmed by several reports published in media outlets.
According to the TMC portal, Renan Santos stated in a live broadcast that Flávio Bolsonaro is a “traitor” and that “traitors must die,” adding that he would “end the race” of the senator and calling him a “bum,” “thief,” and “sellout.” The Estadão newspaper reported that Renan Santos described Flávio Bolsonaro as a “thief” and stated that the senator needs to “be destroyed,” in the context of accusations of betrayal of the anti-corruption movement initiated by the MBL.
Revista Fórum reproduced similar excerpts, where Renan Santos describes Flávio Bolsonaro as “corrupt, thief, and sellout,” and mentions that the senator “must die” in reference to political elimination.
The website A CrÃtica de Campo Grande detailed that the statements occurred in a broadcast recorded in December 2025, which gained repercussion in January 2026, and that Renan Santos accused Flávio Bolsonaro of weakening Operation Lava Jato and betraying the “revolution” in the streets.
Other sources corroborate these accounts.
On Instagram, a post from Transamérica FM described Renan Santos calling Flávio Bolsonaro a “traitor” and stating that he “has to die,” in addition to accusing him of corruption and living “in the hands of Gilmar Mendes,” referring to the Supreme Federal Court minister.
A Facebook post from Conexão PolÃtica Brasil transcribed parts of the live stream, where Renan Santos says that “the traitor has to die” and that Flávio Bolsonaro is “corrupt, a thief, a sellout, and weak,” handing everything over “to the Supreme Federal Court.” The NotÃcias do Planalto portal reported that Renan Santos declared that his “historical mission” includes eliminating the “traitor,” identifying Flávio Bolsonaro as such and stating that he must be “destroyed.”
On social media, such as X, user posts shared excerpts from the live stream video.
A post by @fenixb22 included a video where Renan Santos states that Flávio Bolsonaro “has to die” and that he will “end his race.” Another post by @Daniel_VOA, from Revista Amarela, reproduced the audio from the live stream with the phrases “the traitor has to die” and “Flávio Bolsonaro needs to be destroyed.” An older video posted by @Gustavo1058245, from January 2026, shows Renan Santos criticizing Flávio Bolsonaro and Jair Bolsonaro for supposedly contributing to Lula’s release, calling the Bolsonaro family “Judas.”
These statements occurred in a context where both Renan Santos and Flávio Bolsonaro are pre-candidates for the Presidency of the Republic in the 2026 elections, with the MBL having transformed into the Missão Party.
