When did @DrPaulGosar pick up these followers? The Chinese-language accounts mostly followed him in late March and early April 2020, with the Portuguese-language accounts showing up in mid-November 2020 (shortly after the U.S. presidential election).

Who do @DrPaulGosar's Portuguese-language followers amplify? Right-wing Brazilian president @JairBolsonaro and three of his family members are the accounts they retweet most often. (We're not familiar with the websites this group links, but most appear to be Brazilian.)
