While the term "insurrection" is not explicitly defined by federal law, courts and legal scholars generally interpret it as a violent uprising or organized resistance against the government or its regulations. Insurrection often involves acts intended to overthrow, disrupt, or challenge the authority of the United States or impede the enforcement of federal laws. That is exactly what the MAGA mob was trying to do... they wanted to disrupt the certification of the results of the Electoral College... and did, in fact, stave that certification off for several hours.
Is there something factually inaccurate about the above paragraph?
First the disruption of a peaceful transfer of power is a lie. the Electoral Count act of 1887 was being invoked. This would lead to the election practices of several states to be investigate. Something all Trump supporters wanted to happen. Anyone who watched TV? Now that is funny. Probably more fiction pushed on TV that any other form of media. The only people who had reason to disrupt what was happening would be the deep state (FBI/DOJ) and leftist politicians.
