Steven BeschlossThe failure of the new House Speaker and the Senate Minority Leader to condemn the violent, anti-democratic coup attempt in Brazil is despicable.
Zorro Notorious MEB đŸ˜¡@StevenBeschloss Isn't Bolsonaro in Florida? Has he formally applied for political asylum?
EarthOne@AlgoCompSynth @StevenBeschloss Bolsonaro's son is there, too, conspiring with Trump, Bannon, and Steve Miller, who should be in prison here in the US by now. If we only had a DOJ that operated "without fear or favor." Ha.
Authorities probe who was behind uprising in Brazil capital
Brazilian authorities say they are looking into who may have been behind the shocking uprising that sent protesters storming into the nation’s halls of power in a riot that had striking similarities to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. In an unprecedented display for Latin America’s largest nation, thousands of supporters of ex-President Jair Bolsonaro swarmed into Congress, the Supreme Court and the presidential palace on Sunday. Many of them said they wanted the Brazilian army to restore the far-right Bolsonaro to power and oust the newly inaugurated leftist president, Luiz InĂ¡cio Lula da Silva.
