Jair Bolsonaro Supporters Storm Brazil's Presidential Residence & Supreme Court

Hundreds of Jair Bolsonaro supporters storm Brazil's government territory in response to change in leadership back in October. 

Lula was elected as Brazil's president back in October of 2022, replacing the beloved Jair Bolsonaro whom was deep it Brazil's heart. 

People wearing green and yellow, Brazil's national colors, storm government property and cause damage in the process. Leftist politicians voiced anger at the riots, some referring to the mobs as "terrorists". 

People were quick to compare this event to the riots that took place in the U.S. Capital back in January of 2021.
