It's not "fine" to prevent congress from certifying the Electoral College votes -- which were already reviewed, recounted, and litigated in multiple courts. That's the very definition of a coup. And if Pence had done what Trump wanted him to do, that would be sedition.

The Rolling Stone report is possible evidence that the attempted coup had inside support. An attempted coup isn't more 'palatable' as a 1st Amendment issue just because some congress people were complicit -- it's actually more disturbing.
