It was for self serving reasons, but he tried to herd rioters away from the point of the breach to "the other side of the building where he had a stage set up and he can speak to them".

As I pointed out, Jones was the cause of the insurrection as much as anyone, but when the shit started hitting the fan he tried to regain attention to himself. He most certainly was no "hero".
