A conspiracy seeks to put the blame on Lula, the newly elected president of Brazil, and his staff for the riots at Brazil’s capital. Growing evidence proves that it was Bolsonaro’s supporters who caused the riots.

By Ciara O'Rourke • December 20, 2022

"Now they are saying that Lula is a thief, and they don’t support that," a reporter said in the clip.Marcelo Fontoura, adjunct professor of digital and data journalism at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, told PolitiFact that these protests are the work of Bolsonaro supporters.

Multiple videos posted on Telegram showed different angles of the protesters as they marched to, and then overran, the buildings. One video showed protesters marching up the ramp of Congress and onto the roof. Another showed them throwing objects, including ladders, at police cars driving through the crowds.

In the video, a man can be heard shouting,"A lot of people, a lot of people out there, guys, a lot of people out there, guys. The police could not contain the people, they could not contain the people. They broke the windows, broke everything, they entered the house. They broke everything, everything."
