Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Joaquin Castro said Bolsonaro should be extradited after supporters attacked government buildings in Brasilia.

The storming of Brazil's Congress comes a week after the inauguration of Bolsonaro's leftist rival, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Ever since his defeat in October's election, many of his backers have gathered outside military barracks across the country refusing to concede defeat.
