French President Emmanuel Macron fired back at Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s comments about his wife, calling them “incredibly disrespectful” and “sad.” On Saturday, a supporter of the right-wing Brazilian president posted a photo of the two leaders’ wives and suggested that Macron was jealous of Bolsonaro’s spouse. Bolsonaro responded with laughter and wrote: “Do not embarrass the guy,” according to The Washington Post. Macron addressed the comments at a news conference at the G7 summit on Monday morning, saying, “For him to have made incredibly disrespectful comments about my spouse—what can I say to you?” Macron added, “It is sad. It is sad. But it is sad first of all for him and the Brazilian people.”
