The claim
Vídeos com recortes de discursos de Lula em Teresina, no dia 21 de junho de 2024, e em convenção do PT, em 8 de dezembro de 2023, em que o presidente teria dito que políticos não deveriam cuidar de pessoas pobres porque quando elas estudam e ascendem socialmente deixam de votar.
Original review summary
The review says the June 21, 2024 Teresina clip omitted that Lula was describing the view of the region’s conservative elite, not expressing his own position. It also says the December 8, 2023 PT convention clip concerned the party’s need to communicate with people whose living standards had risen, not a claim that they were unintelligent or would stop voting for the PT.[S1]
