You have lumped everyone peacefully protesting the election on Jan 6 as insurrectionist for years.  You have made a violent protest by a few into a resurrection and regardless of new data refuse to move off of that decision.  Your very response explains you 100%.  Intentionally or not this is all you.

No.  Completely wrong.
Approximately 2500 people entered the Capitol.
Each and every one of them, regardless of if they stole anything, or punched anyone, was trespassing with intent to disrupt a constitutionally mandated proceeding.
They showed up when Trump said to show up and only left when he said to leave.
They are the only ones I have ever been talking about.
It's all you guys who try so hard to deny this reality that unfolded on live TV, who try to say that I'm talking about more people or less things than I'm actually talking about.  There were peaceful folks at the ellipse and on the lawn that day.  But you can't call any of the ones who trespassed peaceful. And insurrection isn't about numbers.  In theory an act of insurrection could involve just one person.  You guys keep adding to what I'm saying to try to catch me in a contradiction.  Just enter reality with me!
