Supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro stormed their Congress, Supreme Court and presidential palace in the capital city of Brasilia on Sunday, in a scene reminiscent of the violent Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021 in the U.S. The uprising of Bolsonaro supporters who refuse to accept his defeat comes a week after his leftist rival, President Luiz InĂ¡cio Lula da Silva, was inaugurated.
