The insurrectionists at the Capitol killed and injured Capitol police officers. If Mike Pence had been complicit with their wishes not to certify the election, we'd be living in a dictatorship. It was a very serious and pivotal moment for the country.

The insurrectionists at the Capitol assaulted several police officers but didn't kill any.

If Mike Pence had been complicit, they wouldn't have needed the rioters. I agree that "it" was serious, but the "it" was Trump's attempt to not certify the results of the election, not so much the protest/demonstration/riot/incursion into the Capitol.

Mike Pence did what he was supposed to, under severe pressure to do otherwise. The country (especially the left) owes him a huge debt of gratitude.

Yes it was a riot. No evidence any cops were killed
