Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro offered a meager criticism of his supporters who attacked the seat of Brazil's government on Sunday, comparing them to left-wing rioters.
"I condemn the assault on democracy and on the peaceful transfer of power in Brazil," Biden wrote on Twitter."Brazil’s democratic institutions have our full support and the will of the Brazilian people must not be undermined. I look forward to continuing to work with President Lula."
People inspect the damage, after the supporters of Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro anti-democratic riot at Planalto Palace, in Brasilia, Brazil, Jan. 9, 2023. "You will see in the images that [police officers] are guiding people on the walk to Praca dos Tres Powers," Lula said in a conference."We are going to find out who the financiers of these vandals who went to Brasilia are, and they will all pay with the force of law."
