None. The President said, "So go home, we love you and you're very special. You've seen what happens. You've seen the ways others are treated which are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel. But go home and go home in peace."
That's not inciting a riot. That's not an organized insurrection. The answer is None.

Despite the isolated violence most protesters were let into the building and the majority were singing the National Anthem in "PROTEST".
.
The main body of protesters never expected violence to break out nor did they plan any.
.
Those who committed violence should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
.
But regardless of what the Media would have you believe there was NO WAY these individuals could have successfully carried out a coup which the Media so desperately wished for.

They were peaceful protestors but a few bad actors separated from the group.
Nazism is just wanting to restore Germany to its former glory. The media threw the jews thing out of proportion.
...annoying, huh?

The first two do. It would only have been a coup d'état if it had been successful.
