US Democrats have called for former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro to leave to leave the US after his supporters stormed Brazil's capital on Sunday.

Since late December, Bolsonaro has been staying in Orlando, the state of Florida, after shamefully leaving Brazil with a trail of damages behind him.

US Democrat Joaquin Castro told CNN on Sunday that Bolsonaro "basically used the Trump playbook to inspire domestic terrorists to try to take over the government. He’s actually very close to Donald Trump. He should be extradited to Brazil. In fact, it was reported that he was under investigation for corruption and fled Brazil to the United States."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said on Twitter that the US needs to "cease granting refuge to Bolsonaro in Florida."

"Nearly 2 years to the day the US Capitol was attacked by fascists, we see fascist movements abroad attempt to do the same in Brazil. We must stand in solidarity with @LulaOficial’s democratically elected government," she tweeted.

Nearly 2 years to the day the US Capitol was attacked by fascists, we see fascist movements abroad attempt to do the same in Brazil.

We must stand in solidarity with @LulaOficial’s democratically elected government. 🇧🇷

Trump's Bolsonaro defense prompts sharp Lula response

On Sunday 8, bolsonaro's supporters broke into the country's Planalto presidential palace and Congress building in protest against leftist President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva.

The Supreme Court building in the vicinity of the presidential palace was also raided by the protestors.

Some protesters were holding signs calling on the country's military to "intervene militarily" against democratically elected Brazilian President Lula da Silva.

Shortly after, Lula ordered federal security to intervene in Brasilia and restore calm after Bolsonaro supporters raided the National Congress building, the Supreme court and the presidential palace.

Lula said that the "fascists, fanatics" rioters will be punished "with the full force of law."

The federal intervention in the district will remain until January 31, according to the decree.

Several heads of state have spoken out in support of Lula, calling the riots an "attack on democracy and the will of the people."
