An estimated 3,000 supporters of Brazil’s far-right former president, Jair Bolsonaro, stormed the country’s Congress and presidential palace on Sunday. Bolsonaro, who is currently in the U.S. state of Florida, lost the country's tightly-contested elections last October to President Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva.
