When you lie about something serious like saying that the judge in question was locked in jail or that the ex-president Bolsonaro approved a military intervention[0] while millions of people are pissed because their candidate lost an election, that's not just lying. The people telling the lies know it is not true but push it anyway. It is beyond that those people respond criminally for that.
