Brazil security forces retake control of government buildings from rioting Bolsonaro supporters

The National Congress, Supreme Court and Presidential Palace buildings in Brasilia were overrun Sunday by thousands of radical supporters of Brazil’s former far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who defeated Bolsonaro in an October runoff election, blamed the former president for “stimulating” the attacks on the capital by questioning the integrity of the electoral process.
