To answer your question, a man was found guilty in federal court of carrying a handgun while in the Capitol that day.  Do you think he was the only one?  Do you think everyone who breaks the law gets caught?

One guy. Lol. That dude broke the law. Still doesn't make January 6th an armed insurrection. Is there an army at the southern border invading us? This guy was leading a caravan with a rifle. Mikey logic, folks.

There can be more than one problem at the same time.
Based on the pic, yes there is a dude armed and invading the country.  I hope they caught him.
Now, which piece of real estate is more important to secure?
A swampy patch along the Rio Grande with no bridges or dwellings, 
or,
The United States Capitol building while Congress is in a joint session
They're both important.
Which is more important?

Which is more germane to the original point, "I don't blame the media for exaggerating what Trump says, given what his followers have already done."
