Rodrigo Constantino

He collaborated with important media such as Veja, Valor Econômico, O Globo, Isto é, currently is a political commentator for Jovem Pan and writes a daily column for Gazeta do Povo.

[17] In November 2020, Constantino was dismissed from Jovem Pan,[18] following controversial statements about the rape case of Brazilian blogger Mariana Ferrer, which gained national repercussion.

Constantino writes a daily column for the Gazeta do Povo newspaper and hosts the "Tudo Consta" lives on Mondays and Wednesdays on YouTube.

On January 10, 2023, Jovem Pan decided to remove Rodrigo Constantino and the commentator and partner of Donald Trump, Paulo Figueiredo.

[22] The decision came after the Federal Public Ministry of São Paulo opened an investigation against the channel for supporting the coup acts, which occurred in the Brazilian Congress attack on January 8, 2023, on the Three Powers Plaza, in Brasília, Brazil.

He illustrated his view remembering Martin Luther King Jr. and his "I Have a Dream" speech, which condemns racism, as for Constantino, this holiday can be considered racist.

He gives as an example the implementation of racial quotas in Brazilian universities and the establishment of black holidays, saying: "This is what they are encouraging in the country: totally abandon of the concepts of individual merit, and adopt the skin color criterion, still subject to gross errors like white people who claim to be black, and still manage to enter into Brazil's universities by racial quotas.

"[25] Constantino concludes the article claiming that the adoption of this type of holiday in Brazil would be part of a "traditional leftist strategy", "inflating the class struggle" between the inhabitants of the country.

He says: "the left loves to spread hatred between groups, preaching the struggle between employers and employees, blacks and whites, women and men, heterosexual and homosexual.

[27][28][29] He cites "countries like Venezuela, Mexico, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Russia have state companies controlling oil exploration.

[30] In a text published in the newspaper O Globo in 2012, Constantino used the mayoral election of Rio de Janeiro, disputed mainly between Eduardo Paes (PMDB party, elected) and Marcelo Freixo (PSOL, a left party) as an example to write about what he sees as a "Brazilian caviar left", a pejorative term broadly similar to the English "champagne socialist" and the American "limousine liberal", stating: "Rio de Janeiro is a victim of a real plague: the 'caviar-left', formed by the financial and cultural elite of the country.

Constantino further claims that "our artists and leftist intellectuals have schizophrenia, because admire socialism but also love three things that only capitalism can give to you: Good caches in hard currency, no censorship, and bourgeois consumerism.

"[31] Constantino went on to claim that one of the reasons for the formation of the "caviar left" is "a sentiment of guilt", saying that "culturally, in a country that condemns profit, and sees the economy as a zero-sum game, where Joseph, to get rich, need to take from John, the success ends up being a 'personal offense', as Tom Jobim said.
