If I'm looking for the motivations of the coup and the rioters, I'm going to look at what they and their propaganda said. And it says they wanted to delay accepting the electors. Trump said that explicitly. He specifically called in Pence to reject the electors. The rioters believed the election was fraudulent; that's also apparent from their statements, posts, and media.
We have been talking about motivations, so what people said is absolutely relevant. We were never taking about the validity of the facts.
