Vice president-elect JD Vance recently shared his stance on the issue of pardoning individuals involved in the violence that occurred on January 6, 2021. During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Vance expressed that those who engaged in peaceful protests on that day and were unfairly treated by the Department of Justice should be pardoned. However, he made it clear that individuals who committed acts of violence should not receive pardons.

Vance acknowledged that there may be a 'gray area' in determining who should be pardoned, but emphasized the importance of ensuring the equal administration of the law. He highlighted the need to rectify what he believes were unfair prosecutions of individuals following the events of January 6th.
