The Trump administration's National Security Advisor, John Bolton, praised Brazil's pro-dictatorship president-elect Jair Bolsonaro as a "like-minded" leader to President Donald Trump in a speech Wednesday.

"The recent elections of like-minded leaders in key countries, including Iván Duque in Colombia and, last weekend, Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, are positive signs for the future of the region, and demonstrate a growing regional commitment to free-market principles, and open, transparent and accountable governance," Bolton said at a speech at Miami-Dade college.

Bolsonaro was elected to be Brazil's president on Sunday. He garnered notoriety for his open misogyny, racism, homophobia, admiration for Brazil's former dictatorship, enthusiasm for torture, and hostility to environmentalism.

President Donald Trump congratulated him on his electoral win Sunday. Bolton said Wednesday that under Bolsonaro, Brazil will be an ally to "advance the rule of law."
