This Legislator Was Caught Watching ‘PORN’ On His Mobile Phone During Plenary Sitting [PHOTO]

An MP was caught watching a pornographic video on his phone while Parliament was in session.

Joao Rodrigues, a member of the ruling Brazilian Social Democratic Party, was seemingly watching the video with his phone under the desk.

At points he even appeared to share it with other legislators.

It happened during a debate on electoral reform by the Chamber of Deputies – and he had an invite to attend mass at the headquarters of Bishops of Brazil on his desk.

Media reports in Brazil claim women were shown in ‘obscene’ positions.

But Rodrigues hit back on Facebook, claiming he received the video on WhatsApp, and was on the verge of deleting it.

He wrote: ‘I participate in nearly a hundred groups on WhatsApp and during the day I search and separate the wheat from the chaff.

‘What interests me I keep or forward and what doesn’t interest me, I delete. It was just what I was doing, erasing the rubbish.’

He said he deleted the video and blocked the sender for good measure.
