Nine days later, in Brasilia, thousands of Bolsonaro supporters, dissatisfied with his defeat in the October presidential elections, stormed the presidential Palace of the Planalto, the Congress and the Federal Supreme Court (STF). Bolsonaro distanced himself from those facts and regretted “what some inconsistent people did on January 8. That is not our right, that is not our people“.
In the United States, Bolsonaro supporters hugged their leader, took photos, and paid homage to him throughout the event: a prayer on his behalf, two songs, and various speeches in praise of his leadership of Brazil.
