Occupying the washington monument is symbolic.
Invading the capitol building to stop the electoral count and intimidate congress into overturning the election results is not symbolic.

You're comparing that with a mob of people who violently clashed with the police outside the Capitol, then stormed inside, broke windows, climbed the walls, sat inside offices with their feet up on desks, walked away with "souvenirs", and planted IEDs. The result of that? 13 arrests.
Can you please explain why your comparison is not disingenuous?
"Demonstrators wore shirts that said "Believe Women" and "Be A Hero" in support of Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, who have each accused Kavanaugh of separate incidents of sexual assault. Kavanaugh has strongly denied the allegations."
How many offices did they trash? How many people died? How many injured? How many had pipes, clubs or guns? How many had molotov cocktails?
That'd be zero on all counts.
At worst, the Kavanaugh protestors committed trespass and pleaded to swing voters; whereas yesterday's mob broke property, assaulted police, looted, and had the intent to overturn the democratic process. While flying confederate and Trump flags and tearing down American flags.
This is genuinely new example of the hypocrisy of the left. I wonder how the apologists will contend with this.
