It sounds very misleading to frame those responsible for storming into the Congress on January 8th, while attempting to "stop the steal" that the elections supposedly were, as simply "at best rioters, to 17 years in prison because they broke some stuff".

This would only sense if you also believe the rioters of 6th of January that stormed the capital also "just" broke some stuff.

Otherwise, this argument is just not okay.
