JD Vance Says Violent Jan. 6 Rioters 'Shouldn't Be Pardoned,' Veers From Trump's 'Major Pardons' Promise

Vice President-elect JD Vance told Fox News Sunday that those who protested peacefully on Jan. 6, 2021, should be pardoned, but, "If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn't be pardoned." Vance’s comments come in sharp contrast to President-elect Donald Trump‘s and have some people confused and angry.
