Tu Quoque really doesn't work here, because you can't compare a riot - no matter how unlawful - with the storming of multiple national symbols of government, complete with pipe bombs, nooses set up on the lawn, gunfire, the trashing of at least one official media enclave, and intimidation of lawmakers. Plus injuries and deaths.

And the implication that there's more to come if the machinery of government isn't handed over in full to the leader of the insurrection.
