All the thousands of protesters there, including the VAST majority who committed no violence of any kind, did not want the election certified UNTIL the investigations into fraud were completed. All had witnessed strong evidence or suspicion of fraud with their own eyes. It was absolutely no different than all the Democrats who have insisted the 2020 election was stolen and that Trump was an illegitimate President except that there was a legal, registered demonstration of Americans wanting that investigation. Were there a few hundred who got out of hand? Yes. And those were dead wrong and served their President and mission horribly. No excuse there.
Couy Griffin was not among those few who got out of hand and was in fact trying to calm down the situation.
January 6 would have been no different than any other protest of election results had a small percentage of idiots not decided to get stupid.
Did Al Gore cross the line by filing suit to stop the certification until a recount in Florida was done in 2000%? Democrats did everything they could to prevent that certification.
And how many of the MSM and Democrats stated the 2000 and 2004 elections were stolen/illegitimate and/or insisted the 2016 election was stolen and Trump was an illegitimate President? With no proof? Demanded recounts? Filed suit to stop certification. And when those recounts did not change the outcome anywhere, wanted to do away with the electoral college?
Most Democrats welcome a presidential vote recount in three key states; most Republicans and unaffiliated voters do not. But the majority of voters in all three groups think a recount is unlikely to reverse Donald Trump’s victory. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

“Fears of Russian interference in U.S. politics remain widespread, and Democratic voters overwhelmingly agree with Hillary Clinton that Russia is to blame for her defeat in 2016”
