Frota makes ironic video showing São Paulo to Tarcísio de Freitas

Actor and federal deputy Alexandre Frota (PSDB) shared an ironic video on social media showing the sights of São Paulo for Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans). A Bolsonar candidate for the government of São Paulo, Freitas was unable to say where his polling place was, in an interview with TV Vanguarda.

Frota starts the video in front of the Masp, on Avenida Paulista, one of the postcards of São Paulo. “Great Tarcísio, carioca, good people. São Paulo welcomes Brazil with open arms, and welcome to you who have just arrived. I’ll introduce you to São Paulo”, says the federal deputy who is also from Rio, but lives in São Paulo. Paul for many years.

Soon after, Frota shows numerous tourist attractions in the capital, such as Paulista and Faria Lima avenues, Ibirapuera Park, Estadão bar, Municipal Market and Morumbi Stadium. “Congonhas airport has ‘s’ at the end”, says the deputy, who shows a video of Freitas calling the airport “Congonha”. Ironing even more the former candidate, Frota put anonymity speaking the correct name of the airport.

“I’ve never seen you running here in Ibirapuera Park. Do you know where it is?”, asks the deputy in the video. In the next shot, he shows two famous sandwiches in the capital: the ham snack from the Estadão bar and the bologna snack from the Municipal Market. “Do you know where Mercadão is? Have you tried the bologna sandwich? You don’t know what you’re missing”, says Frota.

In front of Morumbi Stadium, the deputy mocks Freitas by saying that it is not Gávea or Ninho do Urubu, in Rio. “It’s Morumbi, the home of São Paulo. The São Paulo championship has four great teams: São Paulo, Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos. By the way, do you know the beaches on the coast of São Paulo?”, asks the deputy.

Afterwards, he returns the tour to Ipiranga Street, immortalized in the music of Caetano Veloso. It shows Mooca, Bela Vista, the famous Rua Augusta and Palácio dos Bandeirantes. “I saw that you didn’t pay a tax for the state of São Paulo. By the way, your area code is 011 and 061 and you used your sister-in-law’s address as if it were yours there in São José dos Campos”, says Frota, who ends the video. “And so I go Tarcisando”.

An internet user commented that the question about the bologna snack at Mercadão is a joke. “If the guy said yes, he’s sure he’s a tourist. Anyone from São Paulo knows that bologna snack is only available at bologna’s house in São João”, wrote a Twitter user. “Paulista even has to eat the Greek sandwich on the street. That gives immunity”, wrote another internet user.

“I can’t stand Frota showing São Paulo to Tarcísio with that unmistakable accent of carioca da gem”, wrote a user of the social network, who added a laughing emoji. “But I think even Frotinha knows more than he does,” replied another person. “This was the best mockery until the moment of this election. Congratulations, Frota!”, wrote an internet user.
