Cocaine or Sugar? Brazil Debates Senator's Bag of White Powder


Social media users are discussing whether a Brazilian senator has a sweet tooth or drug problem.

A video that was published Tuesday shows a Brazilian senator shaking a bag of white powder during Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment defense, sparking debate on the origin of the substance.

The video was taken Monday, when suspended President Rousseff addressed the Senate in her impeachment trial. Dilma’s defense was broadcast live throughout the country.

As Rousseff answered Senator’s Aloysio Nunes questions regarding the charges against her, the camera spotted another senator in the back shaking a small bag of white powder.

Only the hand of the unknown senator can be seen while it holds the substance. The video has created a stir on social media. ..........
