It seems that US President Joe Biden is on a date with a problem related to former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who traveled to Florida two days before the end of his term on January 1, after questioning the results of the elections that took place on October 30 and losing him to his left-wing rival. Lola da Silva.

Although Bolsonaro left his country, he left behind a violent movement of his supporters rejecting the election results, who stormed the presidential palace, the Congress and the Supreme Court on Sunday.

And after Biden saw supporters of his predecessor Donald Trump wreak havoc on the Capitol building two years ago, he is now facing pressure to remove Bolsonaro from his "self-imposed exile" in a suburb of Orlando, Florida.

Biden condemned what he described as an attack on democracy and the peaceful transfer of power in Brazil, and said - in a tweet - that "Brazilian democratic institutions have the full support of the United States, and they must not undermine the will of the Brazilian people."

I condemn this outrageous assault on #Brazil's govt buildings incited by demagogue Bolsonaro's reckless disregard for democratic principles.

2 yrs since Jan. 6, Trump's legacy continues to poison our hemisphere.

Protecting democracy & holding malign actors to account is essential.

Condemnation and demand deportation

A number of American politicians denounced the storming of the presidential palace, parliament and a number of vital facilities in Brazil, and demanded the deportation of Bolsonaro from Florida.

"I condemn this outrageous attack on government buildings in Brazil, instigated by the demagogue Bolsonaro, who disregards the principles of democracy," said Senator Bob Menendez, chairman of the Senate International Affairs Committee.

For his part, Democratic Congressman Joaquin Castro told CNN that "Bolsonaro should not be in Florida. The United States should not be a refuge for this tyrant who inspired terrorism in Brazil. He should be returned to his country."

Castro added that Bolsonaro "used Trump's strategy to inspire terrorists at home."

In a similar fashion, prominent US Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez said, "We must stand in solidarity with the democratically elected government of Lula da Silva. The United States must stop granting asylum to Bolsonaro in Florida."

Representative Ilhan Omar said, "Two years ago the Capitol was attacked by fanatics, and now we are watching it happen in Brazil. I declare solidarity with Lula and the Brazilian people," adding that "Bolsonaro should not be given refuge in Florida."

Two years ago our Capitol was attacked by fanatics, now we are watching it happen in Brazil.

Solidarity with Lula and the Brazilian people.

Democracies around the world must stand united to condemn this attack on democracy.

Bolsonaro should not be given refuge in Florida.

Go after Bolsonaro

Bolsonaro faces charges of inciting the violent movement rejecting the election results based on baseless allegations of fraud.

He held Lula's predecessor responsible for the incursions that took place yesterday, and he had previously pledged during his inauguration speech on January 1 to track down Bolsonaro if necessary.

On the other hand, Bolsonaro expressed in a tweet yesterday, Sunday, his rejection of Lula's accusations, and said that the raids crossed the line of peaceful protest.
