Breaking in and doing so is.

Did this person "break in," or was he part of the large contingent that was waved in by Capitol Police?

Both can be wrong, and one going unpunished doesn’t mean the other should as well.

Agreed...but until the first gets punished I have zero interest in seeing these guys punished. the thing about claiming "whataboutism" is that it's basically just a way to get away with a thing while punishing others for the same thing. Were it not for the riots which took place most of the summer and fall of 2020, no one would be able to point to them as examples of why what took place on January 6th as minor in comparison.

The BLM riots don’t give the rest of the country carte blanche to do whatever they want for the rest of time just because those rioters didn’t get what they deserved.

It kind of did though...unless you're expecting two sets of rules.
