President Biden condemned the pro-Bolsonaro attack on Brazil's Capitol, Presidential Palace and Supreme Court on Sunday as many Democrats called for Bolsonaro to be extradited.
"I condemn the assault on democracy and on the peaceful transfer of power in Brazil," Biden wrote in a statement. "Brazil’s democratic institutions have our full support and the will of the Brazilian people must not be undermined. I look forward to continuing to work with President Lula."
