Not sure what you're asking or why.

He was one of the rest of the pro-Trump crowd that you have been calling "protesters." He heeded the call of Trump.

You sound to me a bit like Matt Gaetz saying it was Antifa storming the capitol.

Its very different story if there were bombs brought into the capitol. That would start looking more like an insurrection instead of a protest.

However there were none.

It's really not important to the story either way.

The mob stormed Congress.

Their evident motive was to stop the electoral certification of the president-elect and keep in power an unelected president.

The way you're moving goalposts in this thread, I’m sure if actual bombs were found to have been brought into the Capitol, you would retreat to the “statistically insignificant number” argument you've already used to dismiss them.

Am I moving the goalpoasts or are you trying to demonize people and I'm not buying your narrative?
