Calling the rioters "violent insurrectionists" does not accurately reflect any of the charges filed. 18 U.S. Code ยง 2383: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2383 https://www.click2houston.com/news/investigates/2022/01/07/jan-6-has-been-called-an-insurrection-so-why-has-no-one-been-charged-with-that-crime/ https://www.factcheck.org/2023/08/qa-on-trumps-jan-6-indictment/ https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/3-years-jan-6-numbers-1200-charged-460/story?id=106140326
