About this episode
On Sunday, insurrectionists stormed Brazil’s congress and the supreme court, also marching on the presidential palace in the capital Brasilia. Eerily, it happened around the January 6th anniversary of the storming of the US Capitol. The insurgents are supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who in turn has modeled himself on Donald Trump. President Biden sent a message to the country’s elected President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, saying Brazil’s democracy has America’s full backing. Hundreds have been arrested since the attack, and the president vows those responsible will be held accountable. Correspondent Rafael Romo brings us the latest.
Also on today's show: US House Democrat Delia Ramirez; journalists Anderson Cooper and Emily Maitlis; former NAACP president Ben Jealous.
