Vice president-elect JD Vance expressed his stance on the issue of pardoning individuals involved in the violence that occurred on January 6, 2021. Vance emphasized 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, with a slight gray area in between.
Vance highlighted the importance of ensuring the equal administration of law and addressing any instances of unfair prosecution in the aftermath of January 6th. He acknowledged the need to rectify any cases where individuals were prosecuted unjustly.
