Someone can be legitimately appalled by something and also hold a blind spot in another context due to motivated reasoning. It doesn’t mean they’re faking it.

It’s a fine line between pointing out the hypocrisy (good) and using it as a way to downplay the wrongs on your side (bad).

While there are many differences between BLM riots and the capitol riot, they were both certainly cases of people with perceived grievances using violence in an attempt to overthrow systems of authority.
